Where to live in Barcelona as a university student?

Our university residences in Barcelona offer rooms for students starting university, Erasmus students, master’s degree students, postgraduate students, etc. Well, now let’s get down to business, get to know our Unihabit Ciutat Vella and Unihabit Gràcia residence halls.
Barcelona is a very attractive city with a wide range of cultural and artistic offerings where you can enjoy your university experience to the full, whether you are an undergraduate, Erasmus, Master’s or postgraduate student. There are many areas, neighbourhoods and areas to live in Barcelona, ideal for students. However, at Unihabit we recommend Ciutat Vella and Gràcia for their attractiveness, safety and different public transport connections to other parts of the city. Both have public study areas, libraries, civic centres, associations, etc.
Where to live in Ciutat Vella? Discover the Unihabit residence hall!
The Unihabit Ciutat Vella university residence is the ideal opportunity to get to know the history of the city of Barcelona. The district brings together the old town into four neighbourhoods: the Gothic Quarter, the Raval, Barceloneta, and Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera. The old town of Barcelona has a lot of charm because of its narrow and ancient streets, which started to be built already in the ancient Roman Barcino. In this residence hall you will live close to Las Ramblas, the Boqueria Market, the Cathedral of Barcelona, the Parc de la Ciutadella, etc. Moreover, as a university student, you will have easy access and connection with faculties and universities, thanks also to the great variety of public transport.
On the other hand, if you are an Erasmus student you will be able to enjoy the sun, the sea and the beach in the Barceloneta neighbourhood. In this neighbourhood you will also find one of Barcelona’s shopping centres, the Maremagnum, where you can enjoy a wide range of shops and gastronomy.
The residence is also very close to the oldest part of the city, the Gothic Quarter, which has incredible spaces such as the Plaça Reial and the Episcopal Palace. The medieval surroundings and the architecture of the buildings exude the romanticism and modernity of Barcelona.
The Ribera neighbourhood, in the Ciutat Vella district, has also become an area where university students live in Barcelona. You’ll find urban spaces, other more natural areas for walking or sports and a rich cultural diversity between architectural heritage and museums. You can get lost in the streets and discover the Parc de la Ciutadella, which is located in a triangle between the Gare de France, the Arc de Triomphe and the Olympic Village.

Gràcia, the ideal neighbourhood to live in Barcelona
Unihabit Gràcia university accommodation, located in Lesseps, in the district of Gràcia, is located in the centre of one of Barcelona’s most active neighbourhoods. Close to Parc Güell, Vila de Gracia and Plaça del Sol, the flats in Gràcia will be your perfect location.
Unihabit Gràcia flats are located in an ideal area for students to live in Barcelona. We could say that the neighbourhood of Gràcia is a village in a big metropolis, with a great heritage of popular culture, where they still speak a lot of Catalan and with typical popular festivities. When we talk about Barcelona we must admit that the cost of living can be a bit more expensive. However, the neighbourhood of Gracia stands out for having a fairly balanced price-quality of life ratio. This is probably why you will share the streets with many students from the territory who have moved to the Gracia neighbourhood for its warmth and identity. Of course, there’s plenty of cultural diversity and you’re sure to meet people from the same country as you, even if you don’t want to.
Without a doubt, the Gracia neighborhood is one of the best areas to live in Barcelona for students. With almost no traffic, you can move everywhere walking or cycling and spend time discovering the literary stories that hide the walls and open spaces of each square while enjoying a good coffee or beer on the terraces of the bars.
In Unihabit Gràcia apartments, you can enjoy the experience of living in an apartment by yourself or with a roommate. The apartments have two bedrooms, kitchen-dining room and bathroom. They are equipped with all the comforts for you to enjoy your stay during your time at university.
