Opening of the new Vía Laietana

From 10:30 to 18:00, the street will come alive with family activities, participatory workshops and live music, inviting people to discover a renewed space that prioritises walking, sustainable mobility and local commerce.

The transformation of Vía Laietana represents a change in the urban model: it leaves behind its function as an exclusively traffic-oriented axis to become a civic and welcoming thoroughfare, connecting people with the historic heart of the city. The new design encourages people to stay and meet, and highlights its cultural and commercial richness.

The event will be an opportunity for Barcelona’s residents to reclaim this historic axis and experience its new appearance before it reopens to traffic in both directions later on Sunday night. A festive day to celebrate a street that now beats to the rhythm of the city.
