Barcelona’s shops and markets have everything you need for Christmas 2023: recreational and cultural activities in every district, installations, Christmas fairs, the Responsible Consumption Fair, the Social and Solidarity Economy and much more. All this, and the chance to enjoy the Christmas lights and the atmosphere as you shop in your neighbourhood.
This information will be steadily updated and expanded during the holidays.
This festive season, the city’s trade associations, together with the Directorate for Commerce, Restaurants and Consumer Services, are once again offering up a feast of cultural, leisure and arts activities so that everyone can enjoy Christmas in the city.
In Barcelona we’re continuing to improve the quality of the lights on the city’s main streets, adding new routes and making it possible for hundreds of streets and squares to dress up for Christmas.
Take a stroll and enjoy the traditional Christmas fairs around various Barcelona districts and neighbourhoods over the festive season. You’ll find craft items, toys, decorations and more as you take in the Christmas atmosphere in the city.
The festive season is a great time to visit bookshops and give books on Barcelona as gifts. Here, we recommend the latest and most outstanding publications from the Barcelona City Council.
Over the Christmas period, the markets are some of the busiest places in the city. Check out all the activities planned for the festive season, such as workshops and tastings.
