When is the off-season for a trip to Barcelona, Spain?

Question

I'm planning a trip to Barcelona next year (2008), and I need to know when the off-season is so that airfares and hotels are cheaper and hence more affordable for me.

Answer 1

I just came back from Barcelona last week and what the locals mentioned is that Fall (late-October) and Winter are normally wet through March...hence off-season.

Hotels (or Hostels) are normally inexpensive (relative) but I found Barcelona is a very easy city to get around or walk around.  Taxi's were the cheapest as compared to Italy or French Riviera cities.  The Barcelona Pass allows you to use public transportation (bus/subway) for the whole day and you get discounts to some of the museums.

I stayed at the Grand Marina, but I think if I go again, I'll stay closer to the north side of Placa de Catalunya...the main square in Barcelona.

Good Luck and Have Fun.

Answer 2

Fall and Winter time is the low season here, but it can still be expensive since Barcelona is the most expensive city in Spain.. Its known as the New york of Spain.. So Make sure you remember that while making reservations at the hotels..

Have fun..

Answer 3

I would recommend March/April and October/November as they are outside the the busy season but still have reasonable weather (although October can be a bit wet).
