Montserrat, which is the name of the mountain range near Barcelona and hosted a monastery dating back to 1025, could be one of the best options for day trips from Barcelona in winter. It is indeed a mountain but the elevation is not high and you would not see any snow there, on the other side because in winter most of the days there is a little bit of breeze, so you would experience a very clear view of Montserrat mountain, monastery and even in some days the Pyrenees. So one of our recommendations for a day trip from Barcelona in winter, November, or December is half day tour Montserrat from Barcelona.
And about the temperature, the temperature in this mountain is not below 55 in the worst case and anyway having warm clothes is recommended on this tour.
For sure in the State of Catalonia, which is situated between the Pyrenees mountain range and meditation see there are a lot of choices for weekend trips from Barcelona. But to know which is the best you should pay attention to traveling time and your travel interests.
For example, if you are looking for a place full of peace, in summer, we do not recommend going to beaches and our recommendation is Pyrenees mountain full of stunning views and cool breeze, visiting locals and tasting traditional Catalan dishes in heath of the nature. The day trip from Barcelona to Andorra could be the best match for this interest from March to November.
Anyway, the city of Girona could be always your destination, dost matter if it is summer or winter or weekend or not. You can visit Girona from Barcelona on one of the Girona half-day tours from Barcelona.
And if you are interested to visit Montserrat from Barcelona even with a private tour to Montserrat from Barcelona, we are not recommending the weekend because on the weekend it is very crowded.
Day trips to Andorra from Barcelona always have been the best option even in winter.
Andorra is one of the smallest countries in Europe, which is situated between the border of Spain and France with a lot of stunning views and could be another best option for one day trip from Barcelona. Andorra with the capital of ‘Andorra La Vella’ is the highest Capital in Europe and is suited in the valley of Andorra. The best way for having an Andorra day trip from Barcelona is to start the day trip from Barcelona, pass a border, and go to France, visit several mountain towns of France like Ax-Les-Thermes, and then cross Andorra from north to south. In this way, you are going to Andorra from the border of France and you are coming out from the border of Spain and this is the reason that our recommendation is to take the three-country tour from Barcelona and visit France, Andorra and Spain in one day.
Half-day trips from Barcelona could be started in the early morning, mid-day, or afternoon and it is recommended to purchase a tour with free pick-up and drop-off service, otherwise, you should consider another 2 hours for your half-day trips from Barcelona.
for the early morning, you could have the option of Girona half day tour from Barcelona which is around 5 to 6 hours, for the mid-day departure our recommendation is half day tour to Montserrat from Barcelona and if you start at 10 am you have the chance to attend at boys choir performance of Montserrat and have enough time for visiting Santa Maria de Montserrat abbey.
In addition, for the afternoon, the best option again is half-day tour Montserrat from Barcelona in the afternoon and it is highly recommended because Montserrat abbey is much less crowded.
