What Pestana Arena Barcelona has to offer

    Public Transport

    The Pestana Arena Barcelona is within a five-minute walk of four Metro stations, providing easy links to the rest of the city. Fancy a stroll down La Rambla? Take the Metro from Hostafrancs and you’ll be there in 10 minutes, or head to the awe-inspiring Sagrada Familia – just 15 minutes away via Metro at Sants train station. Even the Mount Tibidabo Funicular Railway is easy to get to, only a 45-minute journey on the Metro from Tarragona.

    Montjuïc

    The beautiful leafy neighbourhood of Montjuïc, made famous during the 1992 Barcelona OIympics, is the stunning backdrop of Barcelona’s skyline and just a 15-minute walk from the hotel. Climb the hill to visit picturesque Montjuïc Castle, which has watched over the city since the 17th century. 

    La Rambla

    Taking a stroll down La Rambla is an absolute must when visiting Barcelona. It’s the city’s most iconic street – a largely pedestrianised boulevard stretching 1.2km from the Columbus Monument, by the port, to the Plaça de Catalunya at the northern tip of the Gothic Quarter, home to an abundance of places to eat, drink, and shop. You can get there in 10 minutes from the hotel via the nearby Hostafrancs Metro station.
