Is there a cannabis association near Plaça de Catalunya? Plaça de Catalunya is the city’s central square and its main transport hub, not a neighbourhood of associations. But El Born, where Kush Weed Coffeeshop is on Carrer de Freixures, is close: around fifteen minutes on foot, or one or two metro stops and a short walk. For visitors who arrive by airport bus or train, it is often the natural starting point.
Why Plaça de Catalunya matters to visitors
It is the point where the old town meets the Eixample, the nineteenth-century grid. Metro lines L1 and L3 stop here, as do regional FGC and Rodalies trains, and it is the terminus of the airport bus in the city centre. Las Ramblas begin at its southern corner and Portal de l’Àngel, one of the busiest shopping streets in Spain, leads from it towards the Cathedral. If you are staying in the centre, you will pass through it more than once.
Getting to Carrer de Freixures
- On foot (about fifteen minutes): walk down Portal de l’Àngel towards the Cathedral, then head east across Via Laietana into the Sant Pere and Santa Caterina area. Alternatively, take Carrer de Fontanella towards Urquinaona and walk down past the Palau de la Música Catalana into the same streets.
- By metro: take L1 one stop from Catalunya to Urquinaona, then walk around ten minutes south through Sant Pere. From Urquinaona you can also change to L4 for Jaume I, the stop closest to El Born.
Walking is usually as quick as the metro for this distance, and far more interesting. Times are approximate; check a real-time map before setting off. Our public transport guide has more detail.
What you pass on the way
The walk from Plaça de Catalunya takes you through the transition from the commercial centre to the old town: the crowds of Portal de l’Àngel, the Cathedral square, and then the quieter lanes of Sant Pere around the Palau de la Música and the Santa Caterina market. We describe the Cathedral side in the Gothic Quarter area and the market side in an afternoon in El Born.
Before you set off

- Ignore street offers. The square and the surrounding streets are also where fake promoters approach visitors; see street sellers and fake club promoters.
