Known as the Water Tower building, prior to becoming UPF property in the 1990’s, the building was used for many different purposes; it acted as a municipal asylum, a fire service store, a justice archive, to name a few.

3. Cafés

 

Bitte

Bitte café in BarcelonaThis cool gem located in Eixample is the perfect place to study in Barcelona in style, and in the company of delicious food. With tropical plants lining the walls, you’ll feel as if you’re outside sitting in the fresh air with a lemonade in your hand, rather than inside studying… sounds pretty ideal, doesn’t it?

You’ll find others sitting at the long tables working quietly, coffee, or large English breakfast tea, in hand. The dim lighting, garden-esque atmosphere, and exceptional WiFi makes this a perfect place to study in Barcelona. Be sure to try some of their delicious food and sweet options, especially the homemade cakes and fudgey brownies.

Address: Carrer de Londres, 87

 

Laie Librería-cafetería

If so, Laie is the perfect place for you to study in Barcelona, as it has its own collection of books and its own cafeteria. Grab a book, sit with a treat and a coffee and relax, find a quiet seat to study on your own, or claim a table and study with a group.

The Federal Café

4. Parks

 

Parc de la Ciutadella

Parc de la CiutadellaThe biggest green space in the city, Parc de la Ciutadella is undoubtedly one of Barcelona’s most popular parks. For a casual and pleasant study experience, this is the place to go. Grab a blanket, find a spot on the grass, pull out your books and enjoy the happy vibes.

If you need a study break, take a walk to the magnificent fountain and grab an ice cream from the little café car. Soak up some sun and charming atmosphere while studying at the Parc de la Cuitadella while you’re in Barcelona!

Address: Passeig de Picasso, 21

 

Jardins de Laribal

Jardins de La LaribalLooking for a quieter version on the Parc de la Cuitadella? Checkout the Jardins de Laribal, a lesser known outdoor space that is perfect for a relaxed study session. Located on the lower slopes of Montjuïc, between the MNAC and the Miró foundation, this tranquil garden will not disappoint.

Complete with shady trees and beautiful fountains, and most importantly still unknown to most of the tourists, there’s no quieter outdoor place to study in Barcelona or simply sit down with a book for a peaceful read.
