An atmospheric neighbourhood is not automatically the most convenient base. Compare your daily routes, transport links and the hotel address within the area. El Born suits old-town walks; Gràcia has a different rhythm around local squares. Use neighbourhood guides for atmosphere and hotel guides for specific locations and trade-offs.
