Eixample district is the most wheelchair-friendly area of Barcelona

While the Gothic Quarter is a cobblestone nightmare for wheelchair users, Eixample's grid layout and wide sidewalks make it very accessible. The area around Passeig de Gràcia has been updated with proper curb cuts, and most metro stations here have elevators.

Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló, and Casa Milà all have wheelchair access (though book ahead to confirm elevator availability). Check specific metro station accessibility with TMB, and the shopping areas along Passeig de Gràcia have accessible bathrooms in department stores like El Corte Inglés.

Restaurant accessibility varies, but the newer establishments on Rambla de Catalunya generally have step-free entrance and accessible restrooms.
