Summer, the favorite season of much of the population, allows you to do a lot of different activities. Obviously, this year, with the covid crisis, we are limited, but do not worry! We have listed the most fun things to do in Barcelona in summer.
The first thing one thinks of doing in summer is, of course, going to relax on the beach. One tip: avoid the beaches in the center of Barcelona. They are full of people, vendors shouting “Mojitos” every 5 minutes and the water is not very clean. Instead, take the train or car to go to the beaches of the Costa Brava and the Maresme: Ocata, el Masnou, Montgat Nord, Blanes, Lloret del Mar, Gava. Or head south to Sitges, Tarragona, Cambrils … you will have many beautiful beaches to choose from.
If you prefer to stay in the city center, take the opportunity to do one or more water activities: jet skis, paddle, surf, banana boat … there are many activities available.
Our friends from the Seayoubarcelona surf school offer a wide range of water activities in Barcelona: surfing, yoga paddle, wingsurfing, wind surfing and many more. In addition, they are super aligned with our sustainability goals as they work to preserve the seas and oceans from pollution, teaching their students to keep the sea clean.
If you don’t like sand and you are more of a pool person than a beach, there are many public pools in Barcelona where you can swim and cool off quietly. The Montjuic pool, the Atlètic Swimming Club or the Creueta del Coll Park Pool are some of our favorites.
If you came to Barcelona to enrich your culture, there are many monuments that you should visit: the Picasso Museum, the National Art Museum of Catalonia or the Barcelona History Museum are some of them. In addition, every first Sunday of the month, the museums are free. Another excellent and authentic plan is to take a walk through the emblematic squares of the Gràcia neighborhood.
