Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Barcelona
- Venues are spread across the city, including Filmoteca de Catalunya, Mooby Aribau and CCCB, all well connected by metro
- Early April usually brings mild spring weather to Barcelona, so pack a light jacket for the evenings
- Booking tickets early is recommended, since popular screenings and premieres tend to sell out fast
