Best Time to Visit Barcelona Cathedral

 The best time to visit Barcelona is from May to June with moderate temperatures throughout the city. No stranger to throngs of tourists, the Mediterranean city gets most visitors in July and August. The best months to visit the city and the Barcelona Cathedral are between March, May, September, and October. Take lazy afternoon strolls on gothic streets under the clear sky and explore the Gothic Quarter for all it has to offer including the Piccaso Museum and the Güell Palace. You can also consider a trip in the winter between November and February. This is also opportune for tourists traveling on a budget as the prices for accommodation drop. While the expenses may reduce during winter, the lines to enter the world-famous cathedral are longer around Christian holidays like Christmas and Easter.
