These days it is a place where all of the trendy people go to eat, drink and shop. Cafes on the Passeig del Born are busy, as an added bonus for visitors to the city, as it is a lesser known tourist area and prices are cheaper than, for example, in the Gothic Quarter.
It isn’t just about the nightlife, there are lots of cultural attractions to see, the Picasso museum is here and the textile museum which used to be home to the textile guilds of Barcelona. The Santa Maria del Mar Church in El Born is definitely worth a visit for its incredible interior architecture. If you enjoy a little bit of retail therapy, there are many boutiques and shoe shops.
