About this event
On the first Sunday of every month a long list of Barcelona museums and heritage sites drops its admission charge for the whole day, including Montjuic Castle with its views over the port. Queues build from opening, so plan one or two sites rather than a marathon, and check each venue's August hours before travelling.
Why we picked it
One planned Sunday turns Barcelona's paid museum circuit into a free day out for everyone, not just residents.
Free entry
Free admission for all visitors on the first Sunday of the month; Castell de Montjuic is also free every Sunday from 15:00
