In the summer months from June – August, hordes of tourists visit the city to enjoy the warm, balmy weather and beautiful beaches. Most beachside hotels are fully booked at this time, so if you’re looking for specific accommodation, try to secure your booking in advance. To avoid the large tourist crowds, visit in late May – early June or in September. Average temperature hovers around 25 degrees Celsius during this time. You will experience pleasant weather in October as well, but you may not be able to enjoy a dip in the sea as the occasional rainfall starts cooling down the water. If you don’t mind skipping the beach activities, and enjoy slightly cooler temperatures of 12 – 15 degrees Celsius, visit Barcelona between November – March and get some worthy bargains on accommodation and travel.

Barcelona’s biggest attractions are its scenic beaches and stunning architectural diversity. From the Medieval centre of Barrio Gótico to the Modernism of Antonio Gaudí, the influence on art and architecture is abundantly visible in the city’s world class museums, as well as through the art installations on every street corner. The culturally-rich music festivals, traditional tapas bars and ongoing culinary renaissance make this vibrant Catalan city even more special. Barcelona is divided into different ‘barrios’ (neighbourhoods), each of which has a unique personality.
El Born
El Born is a charming and festive neighbourhood, just a 10-minute walk from the beach. The Passeig de Born street has the city’s hottest nightlife with scores of bars lining both sides of the pretty avenue. This barrio is also home to the Museu Picasso and a bunch of boutique shops, cafés and restaurants. Amid the shops and cafés on a pedestrian street in the heart of El Born, you have Pensió 2000, a modest hotel with bright and comfortable rooms. You can also check out the 18th-century, family-run Hotel Banys Orientals that has boutique-style accommodation with elegant rooms at an excellent location in the fashionable El Born neighbourhood.

Barceloneta and the beach communities
The 6-kilometres of Barcelona beaches begin at the Barceloneta and run all the way down to the Fòrum area. Most of the lively beach shacks, upmarket seafood restaurants and beachside entertainment is along this area. As you go further along this strip, the beaches become cleaner and less crowded. Stay in cozy, contemporary rooms of the Hotel Pullman Barcelona Skipper, set in a sleek angular building, just 200 metres from the Barceloneta Beach.

Check out Hotel DO: Plaça Reial, a unique gastronomic boutique hotel set in a historic 1856 building, offering exclusive luxury accommodation with views of the vibrant Plaça Reial.
