Barcelona with snow
Winter is the ideal time to make a Trip to Barcelona, the flights and hotels are cheaper, the streets are not as crowded with tourists and the weather is still quite mild, rarely below 10 degrees. The Ciudad Condal, far from dying out after the summer bustle, takes on a very special spirit in the winter months, especially when Christmas approaches.
If you are planning a getaway, don't forget Book in advance your accommodation to get the best prices! Take a look at the travelodge website, they have just opened a hotel in Poblenou with very cheap rooms and all over the center.
So that you can finish planning your trip, here are some tips and activities to do in Barcelona during the winter months:
What to do in Barcelona in November
In November the drop in temperatures begins and with it the Christmas spirit arrives in Barcelona. From November 30 to December 23 you can visit the Fira de Santa Llúcia, one of the most famous Christmas markets in all of Europe takes place next to the cathedral. Its history dates back to 1786. At the Fira de Santa Llúcia you will find Christmas items: from handcrafted figures for the nativity scene to Christmas trees, including tambourines or Christmas sweets.
What to do in Barcelona in December
One of the most deeply rooted Christmas traditions is that of the living mangers. There are many, but one of the most famous and central is the Plaza de Sant Jaume that you can visit during the first week of December.
One of the most iconic sporting events in the city is The Christmas Cruise in the Port of Barcelona, which is celebrated on the 25th in the port of Barcelona and which already has more than a century of tradition.
If you plan a getaway for End of the year, Barcelona is full of parties. We recommend that you go to Plaça Catalunya at midnight to eat the twelve grapes. Afterwards, you can continue the night in one of the many festivals that take place in the city. A very lively area is the Poblenou neighborhood, with numerous beachside parties and nightclubs. One of the most emblematic and famous places in the city is the Razzmatazz room (in the central Poblenou neighborhood).
What to do in Barcelona in January
After celebrating the New Year, the great event is undoubtedly the Three Kings Parade. The parade begins on January 5 at 5 in the afternoon, when the Three Wise Men arrive by sea at Moll de la Fusta, then they begin a tour of the city that ends in Plaza España around 10 at night.
With the closing of the Christmas Holidays come the winter sales. Barcelona is an ideal place to go shopping.
