Sants Railway Station, the heart of the Sants-Montjuïc district.
Overlooked by the busy Sants Railway Station, one of the largest connection and transport hubs in Barcelona, Sants is an urban district that was planned with business, entertainment and shopping in mind. One only needs to go to the Plaza de los Países Catalanes or Plaza de Sants to dive into the numerous attractions that are nearby.
From a tourism point of view, Sants is very close to shopping centres, parks and different leisure areas where you can shop or go for a stroll, such as the Las Arenas Shopping Centre, set in a former bullring; Joan Miró Park, where you can relax while gazing at the Woman and Bird sculpture; the Parc de L'Espanya Industrial, with its mixture of sculptures inspired by fire, earth and water; and admire the Romanesque art on display at the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. You can also study the typical shapes and forms of the modernist Casa Emili Batlle; nose around the Cotxeres de Sants Community Centre and watch 3D films at the Palau Balaña multiplex.
The proximity of Sants to business centres such as the Fira de Barcelona in Montjuïc and its famous Venetian Towers make it the perfect meeting point for business travellers and companies. Located in Plaza de España, the Fira de Barcelona is home to world-famous events, such as the Mobile World Congress, and hosts a wide range of trade fairs that cover all kinds of industries.
La Plaza de España has other exciting attractions, such as the Las Arenas shopping centre, built in the former Las Arenas bullring, or the Avenida de Reina María Cristina, which leads to the stunning Montjuïc fountains.
