Less tourists: In the month of April, Barcelona has tourists in the streets, but they are still not full of people. The months of summer are more chaotic, so Spring seems like the best month to travel to this destination stress free.
This year, Easter will be in March (until 1 April), so the month of April is cheaper than ever! Make the most of it!
The Catalan version of Valentine’s Day: St. George’s Day. This festival is already famous so many people come to visit Barcelona on this particular, beautiful day. You can’t miss this festival where the locals will also participate… and don’t forget to buy a rose or a book!
Excursions in Barcelona
To make the most of Barcelona and fill your trip with unforgettable experiences and emotions, we offer you the excursions through the Catalan capital organized by our friends - the GetYourGuide team. Choose your excursion and fall in love with Barcelona:
Disadvantages
The only inconvenience of travelling in April is that it will be too cold to swim in the sea. It’s the only month with high temperatures where it’s almost impossible to enjoy this part of the city. Even so, you can go to Barceloneta or to your preferred beach to sunbathe or time spend time with your friends.
