    Barcelona Travel Advice

    Best time to go to Barcelona

    Barcelona has a Mediterranean climate with a twist. It has the usual hot summers and mild winters, hitting average temperatures of 28°C in June and July, and never really dropping below 5°C between December and February. However, westerly winds from the Atlantic mean it’s cooler and gets more rain than Spain’s southern coast. The city is at its busiest in the summer months, but there’s so much to do here that, as long as you’re willing to pack your coat, there’s no bad time to visit.

    Passports & Visas

    British citizens don’t need a visa to enter Spain but must have a valid passport. You can check your passport’s valid for Spain using our handy tool. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain/entry-requirements.

    Don't forget to arrange your travel money and insurance before you go.

    Health & Safety

    You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. If you’re travelling to the EU and you apply for a card now, you'll get a new UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) instead of an EHIC. This entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Spanish nationals. It won’t, however, cover you for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment. Visit www.nhs.uk/ehic for full details on what it covers. You do not need to apply for a GHIC if you already have an EHIC. Your EHIC remains valid in the EU until it expires. An EHIC or GHIC is free of charge. For the latest health and safety information, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain/health
