Plaça de la Vila de Gràcia

• Car-free square, so kids can run and scoot safely while you watch from a terrace
• Playgrounds nearby with climbing frames a short walk away in Plaça del Sol and Plaça d'en Joanic
• Liveliest late afternoon, and packed during the Festa Major de Gràcia each August

The social heart of Gràcia: a wide, traffic-free square under a 33-meter clock tower that is the district's symbol. It is a square rather than a dedicated playground, but the car-free paving lets little ones run, scoot and kick a ball while parents watch from a café terrace. Dedicated climbing-frame playgrounds sit a short walk away in Plaça del Sol and Plaça d'en Joanic.
