December in Barcelona 2024
What’s Barcelona like in December?
A visit to Barcelona during the month of December is during the low season. It’s a great time to see the city without as many tourists and it’s a magical time of the year. While there aren’t as many tourists, the Christmas season and the December ‘puente’ (long weekend) are two times when numbers team do rise. Expect to see crowds around the December 6th & 8th holidays and towards the end of the year. December 25th and 26th are public holidays, with many places closed or with adjusted working hours.

What’s the weather like in December?
Check the weather before you come, but even if you see warmer temperatures than you’re used to at home, locals won’t be dressing for the weather, but for the season. You can still be outside all day with average highs around 14-15 degrees and average lows being around 9 degrees.
