The city comes to life with bright energy and a wide variety of activities and events during the long, sunny days and pleasant nights. Here is our list of some of the top activities to do in Barcelona.
Beaches
The beaches in Barcelona are a must-see. The most well-liked neighborhood is Barceloneta, which is renowned for its lively ambiance and close proximity to stores and restaurants. Go to Bogatell for a more sedate experience and take part in sports like volleyball there. Another choice is San Sebastian, which is close to the W Hotel, but keep in mind that it’s a nudist beach.
Consider renting a bike to explore Barcelona’s beaches and enjoy breathtaking city vistas. Electric bike tours are available from Barcelona eBikes, saving you time and energy.
Festivals & Concerts
Summer is festival season in Barcelona. The Sant Joan Festival and Primavera Sound Music Festival are the two most well-known.
On top of Montjuc, next to the castle, Sala Montjuc provides moviegoers an outdoor theater experience. Additionally, Cinema Lliure offers beach viewing of foreign movies.
Barcelona’s Casa Batlló and Casa Milà, two of Gaud’s most well-known homes, also host nightly concerts or light displays during the summer. Every Sunday through October, a well-liked electronic music festival called Brunch in the Park takes place. Concerts are also presented throughout the summer by the Teatre Grec and the Festival Pedralbes.
Picasso Museum
The Picasso Museum is a must-see. In addition to receiving extensive academic study, the artist also found the creative impulse that led them into the field of contemporary art in Barcelona.
