This landmark point also regularly/normally for meeting point or starting point for the tourist guided from all around the world.
BUT, you must be extra careful, always have your belongings in your sight perimeter, there are many robbers and often there are beggars talking to you rudely asking for money.
I experienced it by myself when I drop off from A1 airport bus 3am in the morning.

This is very iconic and beautiful landmark that you must visit if you are staying in Barcelona. Located in the heart of the city, it is the perfect place to find local restaurants, bars, coffee shops, fancy shops, art and historic buildings. Walking .. Read more »along these streets you can learn about the Spanish culture, language and architecture. Very enjoyable. You can also buy tickets for a city bus tour from here that will take you around other interesting areas in the city. My only recommendation is to be careful with your purse, bags or backpack. Usually, this is a very crowded area, and you could be victim of a pick pocket. Better be safe than sorry. Otherwise, it is a wonderful place.

Expansive area with a lot of steps. Fly by night merchants had junky merchandise spread on sheets blocking our way. They must have gotten a warning because all of a sudden they wrapped up their sheets and went running into the hills!
