Barcelona Easter - Opening Hours for Shops, Attractions and Restaurants, Transport Hours, And How to Find low-cost Accommodation During Easter in Barcelona
Last updated: March 2009
Site visitors
have written in asking about the Barcelona Easter holidays to find
out if attractions, restaurants, shops and transport are going to
be open /operating in Barcelona over the Easter. This month’s
edition or Barcelona Travel will answer these questions.
Accommodation
For A Barcelona Easter Visit.
Easter is a
very popular time to visit Barcelona. Thousands
of additional visitors from all over Europe flock to Barcelona during
this period for a short break.
It can be difficult
to find available accommodation at a reasonable price if you leave
your accommodation search for only a few weeks before the Easter
period. It’s therefore highly recommended that you arrange
your
accommodation as soon as possible.

You can also check Spainbookers special offers page which lists current offers on Barcelona hotels
If you are having
difficulties finding an available room in a hotel it may be worth
looking at a holiday apartment rental as an alternative. Often tourists
don't consider an apartment rental as an accommodation option and
therefore you may have more of an opportunity to find a place to stay at an affordable
price if you consider this as an option. Also you get all the modern
conveniences of home with a lounge etc for close to the same price
as a standard hotel room.

Which Attractions
Are Open During Easter in Barcelona?
I have created
several pages of information that give descriptions of the main
attractions in Barcelona including the museums and art galleries
and a new page outlining the top 10 Barcelona attractions.
When it comes
to opening hours for attractions, I recommend going directly to
the official websites as the source for the most accurate information.
Each attraction
has its own operating hours, and as you can imagine, keeping track
of the opening hours for several hundred attractions in Barcelona
is an almost impossible task for me to do (and the newsletter would
have been even later). However I have given the official web addresses
for the main attractions and you can check directly with the official
websites for the exact opening hours for each.

Even
if an attraction is closed you can still have a wonderful experience
viewing the site from the outside, e.g. Gaudi’s Casa Battlo,
La Pedrera (Casa Mila) and the Sagrada Familia all offer amazing
views from the outside.
There are also
many other sights of interest in which you do not have to enter in
order to appreciate the attraction e.g. walking around the Gothic
quarter with historic streets and buildings, Barcelona Cathedral,
and the Magic Fountain of Montjuic. You can visit all these attractions
without having to walk through the entrance door.
Shopping in
Barcelona at Easter
Shops in Barcelona
will be closed on Sundays and any official public holiday. I've
created a page showing the official public holidays in Barcelona.
You will see the public holidays during the Easter period on that
page.

Restaurants
Open During the Barcelona Easter Period
Many restaurants
will be operating as normal during the Easter period. However, as
with any holiday period, some restaurants will have their doors
closed.
I have compiled
a list of restaurants that have stated that they will be open during
the Easter periods.
Restaurants
Open During Barcelona Easter Holiday
I've done the
best I can to check this restaurant list however it is recommended
that you do a final check personally before your visit if you have
a specific restaurant in mind that you want to dine at. You can
do this by checking the official websites for the restaurants you
are interested in. I’ve provided links to their websites next
to each of the restaurants.

Transport During
A Barcelona Easter Period
Transport in
Barcelona will be operating however you may experience reduced hours
of operation during the public holidays and Sunday.
For timetable
information I recommend you check, once again, directly with the
official transport websites for each of the transport systems you
are intend to use.
I’ve provided
links to all of the official websites that cover the transport system
in Barcelona. Each of these links is given next to the information
for that particular transport method.
To help you
find all the transport information pages I’ve created a new
page, which links to all the transport pages on the site.
