Best time to Visit

Barcelona certainly buzzes all year round, but the buzzing really reaches fever pitch in summer. The atmosphere is wonderfully lively at this time of year, when drinking and dining outside is the norm. The trade-off, however, is higher prices and crowds, crowds and more crowds. Plan your visit for late spring or early fall instead and you should still get plenty of sun, but with far fewer other tourists to deal with.

What to Pack

Barcelona is a buzzing city with a youthful vibe and a thriving nightlife, so you won't often need to dress up, but aiming to pack for both comfort and style is sensible. Also bring:

  • A swimsuit: But only in the summer. When it's sunny, though, a trip (or several) to the beach is pretty much an obligatory Barcelona experience.
  • A backpack: Or a cross-body bag with a zipper, or a pouch you can put under your shirt. Pickpockets are known to frequent the most touristy areas; deter them with a secure bag.
  • Sunscreen: Even in the middle of winter, the sun can make a surprise appearance here at any time, and when it does, it's powerful.
Getting Around

Between the Metro, the trams, the buses and the FCG urban railway you'll have no trouble getting around this visitor-friendly city by public transportation. Tickets cover all forms of transportation, and you can get day or multi-day passes too if you're doing a lot of travel. Or, rent a bike and hit the city's excellent network of bike paths. If you'd rather take things easy, look for the yellow-and-black taxis.
