Beautiful public space. Lots of dogs, people taking photos, laying on the grass, running. A general sense of peace . Can spend about 2 hours here. Make sure to tip performers if you like their show.

Oliver Sears

A majestic structure parked in a beautiful district. Explore the gardens of the citadel before/after appreciating the arc in all it's glory. A beautiful district to go for a run through, too.

Gitte Andersen

It is free! And it is a nice area. Bring your dog. This area is very dog friendly

Adam Nowek

This is a really spectacular public space. The boulevard is always full of activity, performances , and people relaxing. Safely segregated bicycle lanes.

Remarkable spot that you must visit when you’re in Barcelona.✨

Be sure to pay special attention to the unique design, which is based on Moorish architecture ! It is this very fact that sets it apart from the Arc de Triomf in Paris!

I really like this monument , the colours are beautiful late in the afternoon. My favourite Arc de Triomf in the world.

Corina Alonso

Good atmoshere and a nice park close to it. Just walk around the arch to see artists and find the zoo at the end of the park

So great addition to the achitecture of the city . Definitely different than other major historic or Gaudi works. But so beautiful. Scenic .

The Arc de Triomf is a great landmark , it offers a nice walk to the parc de la ciutadella and is a great photo point anytime of the year.

Keep your eyes peeled for the bats that reside atop this famous landmark ! Legend has it that one of these creatures was King Jaume's lucky charm on the day of the Battle of Puig in 1238 A.D !

Great boulevard for a walk towards the park . Bring a picnic and enjoy the stroll

The bike-sharing service Bicing has proved to be one of the most successful mobility initiatives in Barcelona. A computer system tells via website and mobile app the availability at every station.

It's not just Paris that can boast having an Arc de Triomphe. Barcelona has its very own Arc de Triomf too!

Beautiful structure in Barcelona. Perfect for an evening stroll, or even roller blading down the wide walk way!

Nicholas Kamp

Beautiful place to enjoy the sun and people around you but also target spot for pickpockets. Do not ever put your bags/purse at your side unattended when sitting down.

the arch is not uplit so it's much more scenic in daylight than night.

Can't miss this one, a must see and perfect meeting point in BCN!
