As does the level of tourism. To tell the truth, each season has its pros and cons, and it&#8217;s up to you to pick the best time depending on the type of stay you want to have in <a href=\"\/barcelona\/\">Barcelona<\/a>. Here are a few ideas to help you.<\/p>\n<h2>Visiting Barcelona in Summer<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>See our article <a title=\"5 bonnes raisons de faire un s&eacute;jour &agrave; Barcelone en juillet ou en ao&ucirc;t\" href=\"\/july-august-trip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">5 good reasons to visit Barcelona in July or August<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/plagebarceloneta-juillet-petit.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5909 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/plagebarceloneta-juillet-petit.jpg\" alt=\"beach barceloneta july season Barcelona\" width=\"628\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barcelona-top-travel-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/plagebarceloneta-juillet-petit.jpg 628w, https:\/\/barcelona-top-travel-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/plagebarceloneta-juillet-petit-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Summer is the perfect season if&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>\nFor you, holidays in Barcelona means <a href=\"\/beach-information-tips\/\">beach<\/a>, tanning, heat, cocktails on the terrace or <a title=\"Boites de nuit et soir&eacute;es &agrave; Barcelone: un week-end plac&eacute; sous le signe de la f&ecirc;te\" href=\"\/clubs-weekend\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wild parties.<\/a> No doubt, Summer is the best time for you to visit Barcelona. The temperatures are around 30 degrees, the sea is beautiful and the season of <a title=\"Bars de plage: petite vir&eacute;e dans nos xiringuitos favoris &agrave; Barcelone\" href=\"\/beach-favourite-bars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">beach bars<\/a> is in full swing.<\/p>\n<p>And although Barcelona is a festive destination all year round, it hits another level in Summer. Some exceptional places only open their doors on sunny days, like the open air disco La Terrazza (in the heart of <a title=\"Poble Espanyol: un voyage dans toute l&rsquo;Espagne sans quitter Barcelone\" href=\"\/poble-espanyol\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Poble Espanyol<\/a>) or the terrace of the hotel W, which organises parties every Sunday of the Summer, and where the guest of honour is the magnificent sea view.<\/p>\n<p>You can also enjoy a number of <a title=\"A l&rsquo;affiche: notre guide des cin&eacute;mas en plein air &agrave; Barcelone\" href=\"\/open-air-cinema\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">open air cinema cycles<\/a> and the <a title=\"Piknic electronik: rythmes &eacute;lectro et pique-nique &eacute;colo en famille ou entre amis\" href=\"\/brunch-in-the-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">festival Brunch in the park<\/a>&nbsp;every Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"is-style-checklist\">\n<li>If you are planning to visit Barcelona&#8217;s most famous attractions, then see our&nbsp;<a href=\"\/tips-avoid-queueing-tourist-attractions\/\">tips for avoiding queues<\/a>!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Summer is the season to avoid if&#8230;.<\/h3>\n<p>\nYou are looking for peace and quiet, and you don&#8217;t like heat or crowds. If this is you then it&#8217;s best to visit Barcelona at a different time of year. Also bear in mind that accommodation is more expensive during the Summer as it&#8217;s high season.\n<\/p>\n<h2>Visiting Barcelona in Autumn<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>See our article <a title=\"5 bonnes raisons de faire un s&eacute;jour &agrave; Barcelone en septembre ou en octobre\" href=\"\/trip-september-october\/\">5 reasons to visit Barcelona in September or October<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/Barceloneta-plage-ok.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5911 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/Barceloneta-plage-ok.jpg\" alt=\"Barceloneta beach season Barcelona \" width=\"628\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barcelona-top-travel-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/Barceloneta-plage-ok.jpg 628w, https:\/\/barcelona-top-travel-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/Barceloneta-plage-ok-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Autumn is the perfect season if&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>\nSeptember and October are less hot and less busy than July and August. But in recent years October has been particularly sunny, and the beaches have been quite full during the October holidays. Also, the sea is a little warmer in Autumn than in Spring.<\/p>\n<p>November is often mild and there are fewer tourists in Barcelona so it&#8217;s a real pleasure for anyone who wants to discover the city in peace!<\/p>\n<p>Another undeniable plus for Autumn compared to Summer is the price of accommodation is much lower in September, October and November than in July and August.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Avoid Autumn if&#8230;.<\/h3>\n<p>\nSeptember and October are certainly sunny but there is also a greater chance of rain than in July and August. The weather can be changeable and switch from sunny to rainy in the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n<p>There are also fewer activities and open air festivals than in Summer\n<\/p>\n<h2>Visiting Barcelona in Winter<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"5 bonnes raisons de faire un s&eacute;jour &agrave; Barcelone en novembre, d&eacute;cembre, janvier\" href=\"\/november-december-january-trip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">5 good reasons to visit Barcelona in November, December or January<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"5 bonnes raisons de faire un s&eacute;jour &agrave; Barcelone en f&eacute;vrier ou en mars\" href=\"\/february-march-trip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">5 good reasons to visit Barcelona in February or March<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/amatller-batllo-post1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5913 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/amatller-batllo-post1.jpg\" alt=\"winter season Barcelona \" width=\"628\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barcelona-top-travel-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/amatller-batllo-post1.jpg 628w, https:\/\/barcelona-top-travel-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/amatller-batllo-post1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/barcelona-top-travel-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/amatller-batllo-post1-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/barcelona-top-travel-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/amatller-batllo-post1-160x120.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Winter is the perfect season if&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>\nYou like peace and quiet and you want to discover the city without hordes of tourists around. The Winter is the perfect time to visit Barcelona, and it&#8217;s low season so the tourist sites are less busy and accommodation prices are cheapest (except on Christmas and New Year&#8217;s).<\/p>\n<p>And although the temperatures are a little cooler, the sun considerably raises the temperature during the day when it can get to around 13 degrees.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Avoid Winter if&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>\nAs you can imagine, there is not too much tanning and swimming that happens in Winter. However you can still enjoy sitting <a title=\"Nos terrasses ensoleill&eacute;es pr&eacute;f&eacute;r&eacute;es &agrave; Barcelone\" href=\"\/favourite-sunny-terraces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">on the terrace<\/a>, being warmed by rays of sun.\n<\/p>\n<h2>Visiting Barcelona in the Spring<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"5 bonnes raisons de faire un s&eacute;jour &agrave; Barcelone en avril ou en mai\" href=\"\/april-may-trip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">5 good reasons to visit Barcelona in April or May<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"5 bonnes raisons de faire un s&eacute;jour &agrave; Barcelone en juin\" href=\"\/june-trip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">5 good reasons to visit Barcelona in June<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/salt-beach-club-post.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5577 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/salt-beach-club-post.jpg\" alt=\"salt beach club season Barcelona\" width=\"628\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barcelona-top-travel-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/salt-beach-club-post.jpg 628w, https:\/\/barcelona-top-travel-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/salt-beach-club-post-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3>Spring is the perfect season if&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>\nSpring is the season where Barcelona starts to come back to life after the Winter break. From April the beach bars come back, the terraces swarm, and the parties are lively. The two biggest festivals in Barcelona, <a title=\"Primavera Sound: le festival du rock ind&eacute;pendant &agrave; Barcelone\" href=\"\/primavera-sound-festival-rock\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Primavera Sound<\/a> and <a title=\"S&oacute;nar Barcelone: le festival de musique &eacute;lectronique et d&rsquo;art digital\" href=\"\/sonar-electronic-music-festival-digital-art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">S&oacute;nar<\/a>, take place in Spring and you can feel Summer is on its way! However the prices are still more reasonable than in July and August, and there are still fewer people (except during holy week).\n<\/p>\n<h3>Avoid Spring if&#8230;.<\/h3>\n<p>\nLike in Autumn, the weather is changeable in Spring: these are the hazards of the mid-season break. It is possible that it might rain so don&#8217;t be too disappointed if that happens. Also bear in mind that although prices are generally lower in Spring than in Summer they can shoot up during holy week, Primavera Sound and S&oacute;nar.<\/p>\n<p>So, have you decided on the best season for your trip to Barcelona?
