What's open on Sundays in Barcelona?
Sunday in Barcelona runs later and quieter than the rest of the week, but the city is far from closed. The Boqueria market on La Rambla shuts on Sundays, so skip it; instead, the Encants flea market in Glòries (open Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, not Sunday) is also off the table, but the Mercat de Sant Antoni hosts a solid secondhand book and coin market Sunday mornings until roughly 2 p.m. Most major museums stay open, including the Picasso Museum, MNAC, and the Fundació Joan Miró, though hours are typically shortened — usually 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Restaurants open for Sunday lunch, which is treated seriously here; a long set-menu lunch starting around 2 p.m. is entirely normal and often the best-value meal of the week. Shops in the Eixample and along Passeig de Gràcia increasingly open on Sundays, particularly the larger chains. Neighborhood bakeries and coffee bars operate on their own schedules, but most open by 9 a.m.
