Shopping Mall Barcelona (Arenas de Barcelona)

Commercial center Arenas

What used to be a bull fighting arena till 1977 is since 2011 a state of the art shopping center.
Its still has the historical look on the outside, but the inside is super modern. Besides shopping of course, there are many things to do.

Shopping in Las Arenas Barcelona

Furthermore, there are many small boutiques.

Cinema inside of Arenas Shopping Mall Barcelona

Believe it or not, but there are actually 12 auditoriums on the 4th floor.
They have really comfortable seats and the angle is just right. (So you don’t see the head of the person in front of you).
Secondly, they have the latest 3D technology and a great sound system.
They show all movies in original languages but of course with Spanish subtitles.
If you come by car, a 3 hour parking (downstairs) coupon is included in your cinema ticket.
Check here all the current movies that they play.

Roof terrace with restaurants and amazing views

The Arena in Barcelona has a round shape, on top (outside) you can get all the way around the roof terrace.
It’s full of all type of popular restaurants and is always cozy. Also because these restaurants have one of the best views of Barcelona.
You can access the roof terrace from the inside using the inside escalators or elevators. But of course, the outside elevator is by far the coolest way to get up!
You pay 1 euro per person for a ticket that brings you up, and back down.
