Eixample is a safe and residential part of the city but there is also a vibrant nightlife and a thriving café culture. Eixample is a beautiful barrio to wander round, take in the glorious architecture and people-watch from one of the many terrace cafes.

L’Eixample Dreta has managed to retain its reputation as being one of Barcelona’s most exclusive neighbourhoods. It’s popular with middle-to-upper class Catalan people, who enjoy a good standard of living amongst the upmarket bars and restaurants, and large, modern flats. You’ll also see a lot of families with young children milling about. Many of the area’s apartments above shops and restaurants have been converted into offices, and at lunchtime the hungry hordes appear on the streets before retreating back to business in the afternoon.
