Plans for a rainy day in Barcelona

Barcelona is a city where the weather is usually good, but there are also rainier times and days, especially in spring and autumn. If during your visit to the city it happens to be a rainy day, don't despair, there are many plans ahead to make your day as entertaining as possible. Today we bring some proposals for all tastes:

MUSEUMS AND HISTORICAL BUILDINGS

Don't let the rain stop your desire to discover culture. Visiting museums and historical buildings is one of the best plans to stay away from the water. In addition, Barcelona has museums and buildings of all kinds, so we can surely give you some ideas that fit your tastes.

Take the opportunity to shelter from the rain inside the most beautiful modernist buildings in our city:

• Casa Batlló : Discover a fascinating journey into the mind of Antoni Gaudí with its immersive virtual reality experience.

• Casa Ametller : here you can even have a good hot chocolate at the Faborit cafeteria located inside the house.

• Casa Vicens : check if there are any activities or exhibitions , they always have very interesting proposals.

• Palau de la Música : perhaps you can take the opportunity to see a show and enjoy its beauty and wonderful acoustics at the same time.

We do not recommend visiting Casa Milà (La Pedrera) on a rainy day since the Rooftop, one of the main attractions of the house, is closed for safety reasons.

• Diagonal Mar : one of the largest and most complete on the list where you will find all kinds of amenities and the most varied shops.

ACTIVITIES WITH CHILDREN

To entertain the little ones in the family we have some options that, rain or not, they will surely not want to miss. You can take them to discover the seabed and all the aquatic species found in L'Aquàrium de Barcelona, an impressive underwater world for the whole family. Another place where you can learn while having fun is the CosmoCaixa , a museum designed for the whole family where they do a large number of activities, experiments and with the most entertaining areas such as the Planetarium or the Flooded Forest.

Remember that in Barcelona it is very easy to get around the city by metro, where you will not find traffic or get wet in the rain, so you can always bring a raincoat and/or umbrella and move from one place to another with the metro. If it doesn't rain much, it will be the perfect option to keep your plans planned for the day.
