Weather in Barcelona is pleasant for most of the year, but you will experience the absolute best weather from May till end of July making these months most attractive for a visit. September is also a good month.

Most visitors to Barcelona head first to the Old City (Ciutat Vella), a maze of meandering streets, alleys and squares, where Gothic churches nestle next to lofty palaces, and ancient fountains trickle in quiet placas. Beyond lie the architectural glories of Gaudi and the Modernistas, the long stretch of beach, the hills of Montjuic and Tibidabo, and parts of the city with a wholly different feel, untouched by the hand of tourism.
