4 0 ReplyJust, don't play the organ while you're there.
4 0 ReplyIs it not voiced for it? Last time I checked, they just had a small portable organ instead of a large installed one.

Specifically, this is Eixample
The roads in the old city are much more chaotic.

This city was designed in the NES version of SimCity.

12 0 ReplyWhy are there two streets running against the grid?
10 0 ReplyFrom Cities Skylines experience it's usually to relieve traffic blocks by providing a direct path to areas/landmarks that have a higher than average traffic load. Not sure why they did it though.
12 0 ReplyThat sounds like a reasonable explanation, but I'd have thought that Barcelona was laid out far before the advent of modern city planning.

I can't tell if they are actual streets, pedestrian-only areas, or bus loading/unloading zones. There look to be structures along them that could be market booths or buses.
That's if you mean the two blocks with the diagonals going through them. If you mean the one in the back that's slightly off-angle from the grid, my guess for that is that the road existed before the modern city did and wasn't removed to create the grid. Or it might be a rail line.

3 0 ReplyIt’s certainly unique and all, but a little too “samey” for my liking.
3 0 ReplyOne of the least 'samey' cities in the world imo. To me it felt like every house was looking different when I was visiting

I've been there exactly once in my life.
We were going to a place, which we could see in the distance, so we decided to walk there.
Half an hour walking later the place seemed to still be exactly as far away as when we started and our sense of reality was eroding significantly.
Like others have said, not the whole place is like that, but man, it IS kinda weird.
4 0 ReplyToo samey and zero trees. I would go crazy without trees and grass!
4 0 ReplyYeah exactly! The designer tried so hard to make it efficient or whatever, but didn’t balance it with nature…
