This trip is bookable between March and November.

Spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) are generally considered the best periods to visit Catalonia. During these seasons, the weather is mild and comfortable, with fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months.

Special time to visit: From May 11-19th, 2024, there is a flower festival in Girona ("Temps de Flors"). Dates adjust each year.

In June, the temperatures start to rise, but it's still relatively less crowded compared to July and August and can also be a nice time to visit Catalonia. September offers similar advantages, with warm weather and fewer tourists.

July and August are the peak summer months in Catalonia. During these months, the temperatures can soar, especially in Barcelona and along the coast. Additionally, these months attract a large number of tourists, resulting in crowded beaches, popular attractions, and higher accommodation prices. If you prefer to avoid large crowds and extreme heat, it's advisable to plan your visit outside of these months.
