Built in 1850, Passatge Bacardí is considered one of the first covered commercial passages in Barcelona. Its iron structure and glass roof allow natural light to fill the space, creating a pleasant atmosphere ideal for strolling, taking photos, or simply slowing down without spending a euro. While today it is home to several bars and restaurants, the passage still preserves its 19th-century character and romantic feel.

Because of its location, the passage is a great shortcut between Reial Square and Ferran Street, and an excellent base for discovering the Gothic Quarter on foot. Street music from nearby squares often drifts inside, adding to the experience at no extra cost. Whether you visit during a sunny afternoon or a rainy day, Passatge Bacardí offers shelter and beauty in equal measure.

despite the name, Passatge Bacardí has nothing to do with the famous Cuban rum brand. Many visitors walk in expecting mojitos or a rum museum… and leave with a laugh, a nice photo, and a story to tell.

If you enjoy discovering quiet, historic, and free places in Barcelona, Passatge Bacardí is a small but memorable stop worth adding to your itinerary.
