Barcelona’s Festa Major, La Mercè 2024, is approaching. Throughout the weekend of September 20-24, the city fills with music, fireworks, activities and people strolling through the streets. There is a festive atmosphere and the routine stops for a few brief moments.
One of the most outstanding cultural activities is the Open Doors Day, which is held every year in different museums, unique buildings and gardens of the city. For one day you can visit for free all those places that are normally paid.
Maybe, with a bit of luck, you’ll find Rosalía, who has chosen the songs of the pyromusical, or Dua Lipa, who loves to spend time in Barcelona, but doesn’t come to give concerts, strolling through the museums.
So whether you’re a hardcore culturist or you just like to go to museums occasionally, grab a pen and paper because you can’t miss this one. We recommend you make a planning and arrive as early as possible to the sites if you want to avoid being left out. Once inside you can enjoy with all the tranquility of the world.
