Casa Babel offers convenience and confort in a rustic style apartment for up to 4 guests in the heart of Barcelona. Most of the places you will want to visit are just a stone's throw away.
The neighbourhood
Casa Babel is just 50 metres from the Ramblas, a two minute walk to the Mercado Sant José and the Opera House, sited opposite the historic Biblioteca de Catalunya, La Massana school of arts and crafts, and the site of the first teaching hospital in Europe. In the central patio of this medieval complex, in the midst of the ancient orangerie flanked by spectacular medieval staircases, you can write a few postcards, enjoy a meal, snack, coffee or drink, or perhaps just sit around in the sunshine taking in the beauty, the atmosphere, and the amusing congregation of people, all on different missions.
A brief walk in the direction away from Las Ramblas takes you to the newly redeveloped Rambla del Raval, the area outside the walls of the Roman city, a fascinating mix of old and new.
