Reasons to travel to Barcelona after Covid-19

Barcelona is undoubtedly one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world, with some 9.47 million tourists making the trip to the Catalan Capital in 2019. With many international companies here as well, there are even more visitors to the city every year on business trips. This mass movement of people is something that every aspect of life in Barcelona has become accustomed to. However, with the unfortunate events following the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus, life all over the world has been affected for the worse. Yet, that being said, as we now stand a few months on, there is an end in sight to this stage of history; allowing us to plan for a future. A future that will involve tourists returning to our beautiful city, to see friends and familiar landmarks once more.

Current phase

At the time of writing (9th June, 2020), Barcelona has caught up with the rest of the country by entering Phase 2, as agreed by Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, the central government in Madrid. The reason why the city was progressing slower than the rest of the country is because of how populous the area is and the inherent need to have a more cautious approach- so as to not risk another wave. People in Barcelona, as part of Phase 1, and also in Phase 2, can go to open terrace bars, shops, cinemas and other cultural sites at a 30% capacity. These small returns to some normality, has been welcomed by all in the city, given the open and sociable nature of people in the city. placa reial

The reality of the situation is that Barcelona will likely remain in Phase 2 until later on in June before being considered for Phase 3. What awaits in Phase 3, the final Phase, gives anyone looking to come back to Barcelona a reason to be excited. All restaurants, shops and bars will be able to hold 50% capacity indoors, and 75% for outdoor spaces. Nightclubs will be reopened for a third of their capacities. Lastly, in Phase 3 will see beaches opening for leisurely use, meaning that sun bathing and going in the sea will be allowed to all.

Thing to see and do again in Barcelona

Enjoy Barcelona’s beaches

As we have just established, one of the main reasons to visit Barcelona again after Covid-19 is because you will be able to visit our amazing beaches once again, as soon as the city reaches Phase 3. From then, you will be able to relax at Barceloneta Beach, with its amazing beach bars and enjoy the summer weather in the Catalan Capital. Alternatively, you can visit one of the beaches in Barcelona, Botagell, a slightly quieter spot, that gives you a bit more space to relax and unwind in our city. Bogatell Barcelona
