Barcelona weather

To get the most out of Barcelona's weather the best time to go is around late May through to June, or September, when weather forecasts report temperatures in the mid-20s. But really any time is a good time to visit Barcelona. The weather in Barcelona in winter is surprisingly mild, and because you find fewer tourists you can pick up some great deals on flights and hotels. And for those who prefer more tropical temperatures, August is a perfect time to hit the beaches and top up the suntan.

For the best views over the city take the funicular railway up to Tibidabo Mountain. Find Bar Mirablau and sit down with an ice-cold beer or glass of white wine.

Top information for museum lovers. Some museums in Barcelona are free, and most offer free admission at least once a month. The best advice is to check the dates before you come and you could save a small fortune.

Festes de la Merce is the city's main festival and takes place around the week of the 24th September. Events of all types take place, but one to look out for is the human tower competition.
