Seasonal overview

Spring and autumn

Spring is quite similar to autumn, when it can rain in Barcelona. So if you are travelling to the city then don’t forget to bring your waterproofs. Although in general, the weather in spring and especially in autumn is very pleasant and warm.

Summer and Winter

Since the summers can be very hot and dry, is essential to wear light and comfortable clothing in the city. You may wish to visit the beach to cool down as it can get quite uncomfortable.

Winter in Barcelona, compared to other European cities, is mild. However, winter can also be very windy, so you should definitely wear a jacket because the wind can be very cold. But there are still many days of sunshine and blue skies throughout the year, inviting you for a stroll along the beach or town.
