Barcelona Weather

With sizzling summers and mild winters, Barcelona is a real year-round destination. Sun-seekers flock to the city in July and August, when the mercury hits a toasty 28°C - and with average highs of 14°C even in December, it’s a sure-fire festive winner compared to chilly Blighty. Be sure to take a brolly for autumn visits, as showers can be pretty common - and in summer, a fan is the perfect accessory for the humid city centre.

Things To Do on Barcelona Holidays

La Sagrada Familia
Widely regarded as Gaudí’s masterpiece, this breathtaking structure took the artist most of his life to create, and is still under construction some 150 years later. Dominating the city’s skyline at over 500ft tall, its soaring spires and intricate stonework are a photographer’s dream - and the elegance continues inside, with the rainbow-hued stained glass a real highlight.

Las Ramblas
Leading from the Plaza de Catalunya all the way to the seafront, this tree-lined boulevard is a huge tourist hotspot. From vibrant street art to pop-up live performances, it’s abuzz with action almost 24/7 - and for a break from the hustle-and-bustle, the historic La Boqueria market is nestled right alongside.

Mount Tibidabo
City meets country at this spectacular peak, which is just 5km from the resort centre. At almost 2,000ft tall, it’s easily the highest mountain in the region, affording spectacular views of Barcelona and its coastline. If you’re not feeling the full-day walk (we don’t blame you!), a tram is on hand to whisk you on your way - and there’s an old-school amusement park at the top, packed with unique spots to take in the sights.

Camp Nou
Home to the world-famous Barcelona FC, this super-sized stadium is the largest in Europe, seating a whopping 99,000 people. With a huge range of tours on offer - from self-guided wanders to VIP pitch walks - it’s a must for lovers of the beautiful game. There’s even the chance for a sneak-peek behind the scenes, and the interactive exhibits offer hours of hands-on fun for even the littlest footie fan.
