Location

Undergoing a stunning transformation to host the 1992 Olympics, Barcelona drastically improved several of its seafront areas, demolishing several industrial buildings along the seafront and replaced it instead with nearly 3 miles of beautiful city beaches, ports, and of course an Olympic Village.

Bordering Barceloneta, El Borne, and Poble Nou, Villa Olimpica is one of Barcelona’s places to be in the long summer months. With an abundance of excellent seafood restaurants, little chiringuito beach bars and classy lounge clubs, the variety of nightlife in Villa Olimpica is unbeatable. In addition to the seafront, Vila Olimpica also has the beautiful Ciutadella Park nearby – one of the largest parks in the center of Barcleona.

Villa Olimpica property for sale tends to be modern; however towards the neighborhoods of Ciutat Vella it can be possible to find some older buildings with original features. Most of the modern flats and apartments for sale have elevators, as well as parking and some apartment blocks have communal swimming pools. It is also possible to buy townhouses in the Olympic Village.

Public transport links are excellent, with various metro lines and bus services available. Access to the ring roads is also excellent, making it possible to avoid the inner city traffic with ease and allowing you to be at the international airport in 15 minutes.
