Placa de Catalunya is a circular plaza in the center of Barcelona, a focal point for many travelers as it's also a main transportation hub. It features several grassy areas, stunning sculptures, and trickling fountains that offer a little oasis in the heart of this concrete jungle. Often there are fiestas happening within Placa where musical performances will take place as onlookers dance along to the beat. Several department stores surround the plaza, including FNAC, Habitat, and El Corte Ingles. Just across from this outdoor oasis is popular Café Zurich, a great place to stop in for a quick bite before heading off to explore.
