Things To Do in Barcelona at the Weekend

If you’re wondering what to do in Barcelona on a weekend, this list has you covered. Saturday: Mercat de la Boqueria Spain’s largest fresh market! Wander around Mercat de la Boqueria and join locals as they hunt for the freshest fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish. The market opens at 8 am on a Saturday. It is best to go there early when there’s less of a crowd and enjoy local vendors setting up their stall for the day. Saturday: Discover Gaudi’s Masterpieces The genius of Gaudi! If you’re a fan of Antoni Gaudi, the best way to spend your weekend in Barcelona is to explore his amazing masterpieces. Check out the impressive Sagrada Familia and the remarkable Casa Batllo. Head outside the city center and visit the Park Guell, which is one of Gaudi’s most significant works. Saturday: Camp Nou Messi’s playground! If you’re a football fan, make sure you visit Camp Nou when visiting Barcelona at the weekend. The Camp Nou has been lit up by legendary footballers including Ronaldinho, Xavi, Iniesta, and Messi over the years. Tickets are usually selling fast so make sure you buy them in advance. Sunday: Las Ramblas The most popular place in Barcelona! Las Ramblas is possibly the busiest area in Barcelona on a weekend. If you want to experience the city’s bustling scene, hanging out in Las Ramblas is one of the best things to do in Barcelona at the weekend. Wander along the street and uncover the hidden gems that this boulevard has to offer, from human statues, amazing street performances, and a wide variety of street food stalls! Sunday: Tapas & Wine Eat your way through Barcelona’s best tapas bars this weekend! Tuck into the tastiest and most authentic Spanish tapas paired with local wines at some of the best tapas bars in the city. Of course, have a taste of other Spanish specialties as well, such as paella, esqueixada, and more!

Marina made us a part of the locals.

We had a great tour with Marina, her effervescent personality and passion for her local food was infectious and heartwarming. Marina led us on a tour through her local area pointing out the traditions and local way of life that you would not find out without her sharing knowledge. Marina went above and beyond to look after us and ended the tour with the best dark chocolate ice cream we have ever had! Thanks Marina ❤️ Hank and Carrie

Barcelona Better

We highly recommend Liliia for your Barcelona visit. We learned a lot from her and enjoyed our time touring the area together. She was very informative, insightful and kind. We did a tapas tour, but learned so many interesting facts about Barcelona and the culture along the way. Do yourself a favor and book her if she is available!

Great guide experience with Lars

Lars is a great child and adult friendly guide who is warmly welcoming you and finding a perfect mixture of information and stories about the city & tradition and friendship customizing his tour completely to your needs. He was even sending us tipps about many things like markets, ongoing events, public transports and recommendable restaurants for locals before and after our tour. Lars is the best guide we could wish for, just like a good friend we got to know. Thanks for the stunning experience 🤩
