gtjunk Posted April 20, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 20, 2005 We're arriving in Barcelona the day before Spanish National Day (which I hear is a public holiday for them). Does that mean all the attractions will be closed? It's our one day to "see" Barcelona and I'm afraid we're not going to see any of it. I couldn't seem to find any information online. I'd appreciate any advice! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Junky Posted April 20, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Hi - I think one of the benefits of siteseeing in Barcelona is that most of the sites are outside. We were initially concerned about this, but we just want to wander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured I'd post here first before asking our rollcall :) I've never been to Barcelona and I wanted to see La Sagrada Família and possibly Montjuïc...you think it might be closed on their public holiday?

rasyad Posted May 2, 2005 #7 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Hi, I'm Spanish. 12th October is indeed our national day. Shopping centers and small shops will be closed. Attractions will be open (generally they only close xmas and new year's day) and public transport will be operational. Enjoy your visit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THS Posted May 3, 2005 #9 Share Posted May 3, 2005 We're arriving in Barcelona the day before Spanish National Day (which I hear is a public holiday for them). Does that mean all the attractions will be closed? It's our one day to "see" Barcelona and I'm afraid we're not going to see any of it. I couldn't seem to find any information online. I'd appreciate any advice! Thanks! I will be in Barcelona on October 12th for the HAL Westerdam cruise to Rome. I had simil;ar concerns about the national holiday. I contacted several of the attractions to find out if they would be open. Among those that have responded and said they will be open on October 12th are: Museo Picasso, Museu Maritim, Miro, Aquarium, Museu National d'Art, Palau de la Musica and La Sagrada Familia. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
