Estació de França Luggage Storage

These days, Estació de França mostly handles regional and commuter trains. It connects Barcelona to towns and cities along the Mediterranean coast. The station sits in a great spot for tourists. You can walk to the Gothic Quarter, explore the El Born neighborhood, or head to Barceloneta beaches without much trouble. Actually, its location near the city center makes it a smart arrival point if you’re planning to explore Catalonia’s capital city.
