When to go to Barcelona, Spain

The summer season is the busiest tourist period of the year in Barcelona, when temperatures are also at their hottest. However, it is worth noting that around 10% of shops and restaurants are closed from mid-August to early September, when owners go on holiday. This means that holidaymakers can pick up cheap accommodation and benefit from a much quieter city as a vast majority of Spaniards go on vacation in August.

Thanks to the city’s warm all-year round Mediterranean climate, Barcelona is also a great destination off-peak and especially during the winter months of January and February when temperatures average between 19 to 23 degrees Celsius. For those who do not enjoy touring a city in the heat, this is one of the best times to visit Barcelona.
