Go ice skating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We hate to be the bearer of bad news: it’s very unlikely that you’ll experience a white Christmas here in Barcelona. However, that doesn’t mean it won’t feel like winter! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to get up and moving in such chilly temperatures is to lace up a pair of skates and take to the ice. As you glide around the rink beneath hundreds of twinkling lights, you’ll feel like you’ve been dropped into a fairytale winter wonderland. Find your nearest ice rink<\/a> and get ready for an unforgettable moment of winter magic here in Barcelona in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit the Magic Fountain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With its awe-inspiring displays of light, magic, color and sound, the Magic Fountain<\/a> at the foot of Montju\u00efc makes for a pretty great way to end your day in Barcelona no matter what time of year you’re visiting. However, as the winter holidays approach, they truly go all out at the special Christmas shows, taking place Thursday, Friday and Saturday<\/a> evenings in Barcelona in December 2019. Kids and adults alike will be struck breathless by the gorgeously choreographed displays, which also make for once-in-a-lifetime Instagram shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
