Raining in Barcelona? No worries: the city is full of indoor activities. Here are our ideas.
Museums
The Picasso Museum, Fundació Joan Miró, MNAC or the History Museum of Barcelona: plenty to keep you dry and warm for hours.
Covered markets
The Boqueria or the Sant Antoni market: wander between the stalls, snack and stay sheltered at the same time.
Shopping
Passeig de Gràcia for the shops, or Las Arenas (a mall inside a former bullring) with its covered panoramic terrace.
Gaudí indoors
A visit to the Sagrada Família or Casa Batlló is just as enjoyable in the rain — remember to book a skip-the-line ticket.
Take shelter over a good meal
A long tapas lunch, a cooking workshop or a cocktail class: rain is the perfect excuse for a tasty break.
Good to know: showers in Barcelona are often short. Keep a small umbrella handy and adapt your plans as the day goes on.
