What to keep in mind :
The best time to visit Barcelona is during the spring and fall months. Summers are hot and humid, while winters are mild.
It's important to keep in mind that May marks the start of the high season, which means higher accommodation costs and long lines at attractions.
However, it also marks the start of beach season, so it's a good time to enjoy the city's beaches.
January is the least crowded and most budget-friendly month, with unique neighbourhood celebrations and sales.
A little tip before going to the city, be aware of pickpocketing, which is extremely common in tourist areas but nothing to be afraid of as long as you're cautious about your belongings.
EXTRA TIPS :
- I recommend staying in El Born or Eixample.
- Take a picture of the QR code at Paradiso (day three) if you're planning on going back but don't feel like having to physically go scan it, it's a lifesaver.
- Keep in mind that some museums have free days !!
Museu Picasso : Free entry first Sunday of every month 10:00-20:00, and every Thursday 17:00-20:00. You should always book your ticket in advance on their website as it gets full by lunch.
- In Barcelona, dining times are quite different from what you may be used to in other countries. Lunch is typically served between 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm, while dinner is not usually served until 9 pm or even later.
It's not uncommon for locals to have a light breakfast, a mid-morning snack, a big lunch, and then a light dinner or tapas later in the evening.
Many restaurants and cafes close for a few hours in the afternoon, so it's important to plan accordingly if you want to dine out during your stay in Barcelona.
