Les Corts

  • Les Corts is an affluent residential and business area to the north west of the city centre, and is perhaps most well-known as the location for the home ground of FC Barcelona – the fabulous Nou Camp Stadium. It’s considered one of the safest areas in the city, and has traditionally been known as the ‘university zone’, as the site of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. Not as high-profile a district as the Gothic quarter or Sagrada Família, Les Corts is nonetheless worth thinking about for your trip to Barcelona. The area’s student population gives it a lively feel by day and it tends to be fairly quiet by night as students and business professionals head home.
