Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Wavy in form and giving a fine stroll by the water, it was grand traversing it at sunset.
Everything looked memorable as the sun sank, silhouetting the surrounds in grand contrasts.

Incredible view during night time. They say that when ship and ferry come, it will moves. And if you accidentally fall down from bridge because of that, you will be captured by camera and you will be on TV in the end of the year.

Located within the port Precinct, this walkway, is part of the loop that is fun to walking enjoying the sights, the bridge opens up to allow boats to enter the marina.

Lovely area to walk along the harbour with lots of boats and yachts. Interesting to see when the boats come out, the bridge moves to allow transport. There are lots of bench seats along the harbour to sit and watch the world.

The walk over the bridge and view was very nice and casual. Sail boats in the pier and fish swimming close to the dock was quite nice.
Not crazy busy when we were there just around 11 am , mall has same general stores as other malls.

A nice pier to stroll around. It was cool to see the Mediterranean Sea. We were able to use the HOHO bus and hop off for a quick stroll and hop back on. It was a long way to go, for a short visit.

A nice and beautiful pier to walk around.
There is a mall called: "Maremagnum" in the area.
We took a cruise with the company "Las Golondrinas" at 11:30, the cruise lasted about 45 minutes and its price was around 10 euros per person.
you have an an option to buy water and ice cream on cruise,
the cruise is not guided but you can see all of Barcelona in the distance and the experience is very nice
Tip: There is a discount for students

As a resident of a seaside town, I am attracted to the embankment. At the same time, there is no embankment in my city of Murmansk. The entire multi-kilometer coast is occupied by the port. Now it's hard to believe, but some 30 years ago, Barcelona was also cut off from the sea by a railway, mountains of containers with portal cranes and warehouses. There was no question of a promenade. Moving the port further South became an important point of the gentrification policy for the 1992 Olympics. Creating a promenade with palm trees, benches, sculptures, bars and restaurants was the second point of the program. After the end of the games, many restaurants closed, but bright artifacts remained after them. For example, a giant shrimp made by Javier Mariscal remained after the closure of the parent restaurant Gambrinus. The sculpture of the famous pop art artist Roy Lichtenstein La Cara de Barcelona (Barcelona's Head) is located further along the road to the statue of Columbus. The monument to the discoverer of America looks like an alien from the middle ages, although they are separated by only a hundred years. It was installed in 1888 as part of the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America.

We easily spent a few hours eating and walking around the Port Vell waterfront. If you only have time for a quick visit, then the Colombus statue and the Rambla De Mar are probably the two main things to do.
The Rambla De Mar is a pedestrian-only walkway and bridge that takes you across the harbour to the Maremagnum shopping and restaurant centre. It is only a very short walk but gives you a good view of the port and boats.
The main features are:
• the wavy wooden edge on the bridge makes it very photogenic. Running across the wavy boards is a bit of fun for kids
• If you get the timing right, the bridge splits and swings open like an enormous door or gateway to let yachts glide through.
• From the bridge, you get a good view over the marina of luxury boats and superyachts. We stood for a while looking at the virtual forest of masts.
• 2 sculptures float beside the bridge and caught our eye. The figures are a stark white and float silently, with their heads tilted upwards, gazing towards the sky. I was intrigued enough to look them up later. They are called The Stargazers or Miraestels and the artist, Robert Llimos, has the the figures gazing heavenward to represent humanity. They were installed in 2010 to commemorate the NY-Barcelona transoceanic sailing record.
• The walk ends at the Maremagnum centre is on the other side of the bridge. It is a big attractive looking centre with an aquarium, an IMAX and shops (mostly fashion). We weren’t interested in spending time at any of these but we thoroughly enjoyed stopping for a drink and lunch at one of the modern restaurants clustered around the water. We chose Tapas Tapas, where we could sit outside in the sun with a great view of the water, the boats, the cable car and Montjuic.
If you want to make more of your time here, continue the walk along the promenade which runs beside the harbour and go onto the historic schooner, St Eulalia (€3). On weekends, there is an antique/flea market between the Rambla De Mar and Colombus and on Sundays, the Maritime Museum is free after 3pm.
