Summer activities in Barcelona

The city is full of festivals throughout the summer. Sónar is a festival of electronic music, innovation and creativity held every year in Barcelona in mid-June. Other renowned festivals in the city are the Cruïlla, Share Festival or the Alma Festival, held in the Pedralbes Gardens.  

There is no better option for a hot summer day than having a refreshing cocktail on a terrace. In Barcelona you will find thousands of terraces, like our rooftop bar Azimuth where you can relax sipping signature cocktails and international street food in a vibrant atmosphere with live music sessions.  

In addition, we recommend a day trip to visit the famous Costa Brava, one of the most beautiful areas of our region. There you will find beaches with crystal clear waters and natural landscapes that look like something out of a fairy tale.
