La Rambla  is definitely Barcelona's most famous boulevard. The best way of getting to know it well is to take a stroll along La Rambla at any time of day or even night. This boulevard, almost 2 kms. long and situated between the Plaça de Catalunya and the port, was once upon a time the site of a mountain stream. All kinds of people can be found walking or just relaxing beneath the oriental plane trees. It is one of the main shopping and tourist arteries in the city. Plenty of cafes, restaurants, market stalls and street performances invite for a stroll or a break from a busy day.

There are a number of things to see both on La Rambla and off. So if you're really looking to get to know it, expect to spend some time there. La Rambla is broken down to the Rambla de Catalunya, Rambla de Canaletes (which by the way gets it's name from the Font de Canaletes), Rambla dels Estudis, Rambla de Sant Josep, Rambla dels Caputxins, Rambla de Santa Mònica., down to the Monument a Colom and the waterfront.
