If there’s a golden rule for any savvy traveler in Barcelona, it has to be ‘don’t eat or drink on the Rambla’. However, we’ll make an exception for La Isabella and its rooftop terrace, which enables you to enjoy a cocktail and 360º panoramic views of the city from above the Rambla. The terrace has numerous cosy sofas as well as a chic bar and dining area. Located on the roof of the famous Hotel 1898, the terrace has a stylish lounge feel and offers some of the best views in town.

This quirky bar was once a sweet shop, hence its name, which means ‘The Confectionary’. The outside still looks like a 1920s sweet shop, and when you step inside you will feel transported back to a time when sweets were sold by weight in little paper bags. The only treat you’ll find at the Confiteria these days is a very good cocktail.
