Something for everyone

This marina was built in 1991 for the Barcelona Olympic Games and is currently one of the city’s most popular residential and leisure areas. It is impossible to be bored in Port Olímpic. In the summer, the beaches attract both locals and tourists, who come down to swim, sunbathe or enjoy water sports and leisure activities. The cycle paths are also inviting for a pleasant bike ride or for skating in one of the most modern and cosmopolitan areas of the city.

When the weather gets cooler, you can go to the port area, where there are shopping centres, restaurants, cinemas, the Casino de Barcelona and live music venues, not to mention the great pleasure of strolling by the sea while listening to the water lapping around the boats.

Next to Port Olímpic beach is the Base Nàutica de la Mar Bella water sports centre, perfect for enjoying water sports such as sailing, kayaking and windsurfing. As well as the pleasure of being out on the water, there are the views of the Barcelona skyline, with the Mapfre towers, the Hotel Arts and Frank Gehry’s Peix d’Or sculpture in the foreground.
