2. Libraries

 

Dipòsit de les Aigües

Dipòsit de les Aigües in BarcelonaThis is the main library at the University Pompeu Fabra. Josep Fonterè designed the building in 1874, with the help of a young architect who ended up becoming one of the most renowned modernist architects of all time… Antoni Gaudí.

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.

What will motivate you more to do your work or read a book than a stunning building artfully crafted by some of the greatest minds in the world? This architectural masterpiece is quiet, beautiful, historic and open to the public—the perfect place to study in Barcelona.

Address: Pompeu Fabra University, Carrer de Ramon Trias Fargas, 25-27

 

Biblioteca Sant Pau I Santa Creu

Its various rooms all serve different purposes, from silent study rooms, to group discussion rooms, to computer labs. It also has a large selection of books to use as resources—this library in Barcelona truly has it all.

Address: Carrer de l’Hospital, 56

 

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

Laie Librería-cafetería in BarcelonaWant somewhere with resources like a library but with food and a more casual atmosphere like a café? 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.

Address: Carrer de Pau Claris, 85

 

 

The Federal Café

The Federal Café BarcelonaNot only does the Federal have some of the best brunch in a city filled with delicious brunch spots, it also happens to be one of the best places to study in Barcelona. You’ll feel totally comfortable pulling out your laptop and quietly camping out here, whether it’s for 20 minutes or 4 hours. If you need the emotional support, feel free to bring your dog. If you don’t have a dog but like the idea of getting to take a study break and pet one, the Federal Café is the place for you as they are a dog friendly establishment. What more could you want?

Address: Carrer del Parlament, 39

 

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.
