Shopping in Barcelona is a delight. The Catalan capital has its own unique shops where you will find quality goods at competitive prices, as well as top international designer names. Barcelona is the leading Spanish city in terms of sales to tourists from abroad. 18.5% of credit-card purchases in Spain are made in Barcelona, and the city accounts for almost 20% of the country’s ATM withdrawals.
The tourists who visit us appreciate the quality of the goods on sale in Barcelona’s shops, and its services. In addition, the city showcases Europe’s biggest shopping centre, the Barcelona Shopping Line. This 5-km thoroughfare stretches from the harbour to the uptown Diagonal district, via La Rambla, the old town, the Gothic Quarter and the Passeig de Gràcia and Rambla de Catalunya. The Shopping Line comprises a series of shops which turn the shopping experience into a pleasant stroll. It is a stimulating compendium of the retail outlets in the city, which has 35,000 shops in total.
The Barcelona Shopping Line, directs external demand to the shops that identify Barcelona and are part of its history. Shops which have blended tradition and modernity without losing their identity and offer visitors a rich and varied range of products, good value for money and first-class service. There are currently over 170 outlets associated with the Barcelona Shopping Line brand. Last year, it was joined by some of the city’s top shopping centres.
BUS SHOPPING LINE
The Bus Shopping Line is the most convenient way to enjoy the centre of Barcelona. The service operates on a specially designed route which runs from Plaça Catalunya to the Diagonal (Plaza Pius XII). Buses depart every seven minutes and connect the major stores, the city’s modernista landmarks (La Pedrera, the Casa Batlló, the Casa Amatller...), with a wide range of restaurants and city-centre cinemas. A trip round the heart of Barcelona.
