Choosing a Consell de Cent block: metro, bars and hills
The short answer
Choose the Consell de Cent blocks if you want Girona metro 185 m away, about a 4-minute walk, and the Concepció cloister close by. It suits first-time visitors who accept a medium nightlife proxy: 8 mapped bars and pubs within 250 m. Skip it if you want the lowest venue count everywhere, since the north sample maps 10. The catch: sampled terrain spans 19 m.

Who it suits, who should skip it
Good for
- First-time visitors who want a metro entrance 185 m from the anchor, about 4 minutes on foot
- Travellers who like choice: 30 hotels are mapped within 500 m of the anchor
- Guests who will pick the south or west side, where ring samples map 4 venues within 250 m
Skip it if
- You want the lowest mapped venue count everywhere: the north sample maps 10 within 250 m
- You need confirmed metro line information, because the map data here lists none for Girona
- You need route gradients or step-free detail; the terrain data is only a sampled 19 m range
Which side of the anchor to choose
The anchor on Carrer del Consell de Cent has mapped hotels close at hand. Hotel Catalonia Eixample 1864 is 52 m away, a 1-minute walk, and od Barcelona is 138 m away, a 3-minute walk. Hotel Praktik Garden, listed at Carrer de la Diputació 325, is 178 m away, and Renaissance Barcelona Hotel, listed at Carrer de Pau Claris 122, is 181 m away, both a 3-minute walk. Hotel Victoria Palace, listed at Carrer de Roger de Llúria 42, is 201 m away, a 4-minute walk.
OpenStreetMap lists 30 hotels within 500 m of the anchor, so the choice is mostly about which side you want. The west and south ring samples map 4 venues each within 250 m, against 10 at the north sample and 9 at the east sample. Names, addresses and attributes are as tagged in the map and have not been verified.
Metro and walking from the anchor
Girona is the nearest metro entrance found within 1200 m: 185 m from the anchor, about a 4-minute walk at 80 m a minute with a 1.3 detour factor. The map carries no line data for it, so check the TMB network map before you commit to a block. These walks are estimates from the anchor, not routed journeys from any hotel door.
The Claustre de l'església de la Concepció is 184 m away, a 3-minute walk, and the Claustre Basílica de la Puríssima Concepció is 186 m away, a 4-minute walk. Casa Santurce is 296 m away, a 5-minute walk.
Noise at night: what the map shows
Within 250 m of the anchor, OpenStreetMap lists 6 bars, 2 pubs and no nightclubs, 8 venues in total, which our scale labels medium. This is a count of mapped venues, not a measurement of sound, so it cannot say how loud a given room will be. Opening hours and terraces are not in the data.
The ring samples show where the count shifts. The north sample maps 10 venues, the east sample 9 and the north-west sample 8, while the south and west samples map 4 each and the south-west sample 5. Ask a hotel which way a room faces before relying on any of these counts.
Hills and walking around the anchor
Sampled elevation runs from 30 m to 49 m, a 19 m range across the anchor and its eight ring samples. The anchor itself is at 40 m. The east and south-east samples are the lowest at 30 m each, and the north-west sample is the highest at 49 m.
Girona metro is sampled at 37 m, a 3 m difference from the anchor. The terrain figure is a sampled range from a coarse elevation model, not a route climb, and it says nothing about accessibility or the gradient of any particular street.

- Night-noise risk counts places tagged as bars, pubs and nightclubs in OpenStreetMap within 250 m: low under 8, medium from 8 or with any nightclub, high from 25 or with 3 nightclubs. It counts mapped venues; it does not measure sound.
- Walking times take the straight-line distance, add 30% for the street network and assume 80 m a minute, rounded up. They are estimates, not routes.
- Climb is the spread between the highest and the lowest sampled point in Copernicus DEM GLO-90 via the Open-Meteo Elevation API. Terrain models average the ground into cells, so a few metres either way are within their error.
- Searched on 14 Oct 2026: the metro within 1.2 km, hotels within 500 m. A place missing from OpenStreetMap is missing here too.
