Les Corts is the smallest district of Barcelona and the least populated, mostly residential, very well suited to families and young couples. It is also a privileged upmarket neighborhood for students who take classes in one of the numerous international schools.
Les Corts is home to the very famous Camp Nou and FC Barcelona. It is considered to be a financial district, which means that it welcomes businesses and therefore offers a large range of expensive hotels and restaurants.
