Christmas 2019: ICONO recommends

It’s Christmas time in Barcelona, our city, and we ICONO want to celebrate it with you. Here are a few activities we recommend you to do during Christmas 2019 and also some exclusive plans to do with family and friends. 

¡During Christmas time, Barcelona becomes magical! Though some people take these days to escape from the city and relax, others, locals and turists, choose to enjoy the city during one of its most magical seasons. ICONO want to turn your experience in Barcelona into an unforgettable moment, so we have prepared a list of recommendations in case you want to participate.

Hundreds of activities will bring the Christmas magic to all 73 neighborhoods of the city, with more illuminated streets than ever before. An endless number of fantastic characters will welcome the happiness, tradition and values from these dates. From December on, the lights in the streets will kick off a celebration that will be extended through different locations in the city.
