Barcelona’s never-ending cityscape beckons tourists to explore its streets, offering a tantalizing mix of sightseeing and shopping.

Shops

With stores open from Monday to Saturday starting at 9 am and closing at 1:30 pm, only to reopen again at 5 pm and stay welcoming until 8 pm, visitors can easily indulge in some retail therapy. The larger retail giants like Zara, Mango, and H&M keep their doors open even longer, inviting shoppers in as early as 10 am and allowing them to browse until 10 pm.

However, smaller shops may not share the same generosity, closing their doors on Saturday afternoons. For those seeking a more modern shopping experience, the malls in Barcelona offer an expansive selection of stores that are open every day from 10 am to 10 pm.

But for shopaholics who refuse to let a day go by without indulging in some retail therapy, the Maremagnum shopping center is the ultimate haven with its doors open every day of the year, including public holidays.

Museums

As for museums, they too have their own schedules to adhere to. Typically open from Tuesday to Sunday starting at 10 am and remaining accessible until 8 pm, most museums and art galleries in Barcelona close their doors on Mondays.

Of course, there are exceptions for those eager to delve into the world of wax figures or chocolate at the Wax Museum and Museu de la Xocolata respectively.
