Plan your visit to Barcelone
Our practical tips for a great stay: when to go, how to get around, where to stay.
When to visit Barcelona?
Spring and autumn are perfect; summer is hot and very busy, especially on the beaches. Winter stays mild and bright, ideal for sightseeing without the crowds.
Getting around Barcelona
The metro is efficient and cheap, and the Eixample and old town are very walkable. Stay alert to pickpockets in tourist areas, especially on Las Ramblas.
Where to stay in Barcelona
The Eixample for calm and modernist elegance, the Gothic or Born quarters for the buzz. Avoid sleeping right on Las Ramblas, noisy and very touristy.
