La Rambla is home to shops, hotels, restaurants, La Boqueria Market, theaters, newsstands, kiosks of all sorts, and more. The pedestrian traffic includes tourists and locals bustling to and from work and recreational activities. Street performers often stop traffic with their antics. It’s also lined with sidewalk cafes where people eat, drink, and watch the world go by.
There are many sites of historic interest along La Rambla, including Palau Guell and the Gran Teatre del Liceu opera house.
