Working from cafes in Barcelona, answered

How many cafes in Barcelona are good for working on a laptop?

167 of the 274 places in Barcelona whose reviews say anything about laptops are somewhere you can settle in and work. The other 189 of the 463 we hold are unjudged rather than unwelcoming: nobody who wrote about them mentioned it either way. What we look for is a table you can open a laptop on, a socket within reach and nobody counting the minutes.

Which cafes in Barcelona have fast Wi-Fi?

Of the 301 places in Barcelona whose Wi-Fi we could judge, 186 hold a video call. The connection is read from what people who sat there wrote, not from what the cafe claims, so a place with no reviews about its Wi-Fi is left out rather than guessed at. The "Fast Wi-Fi" filter on this page shows only those 186.

Can you work all day from a cafe in Barcelona?

Yes, in 167 of the 274 judged places in Barcelona, where staying past the second coffee is normal rather than tolerated. 258 of the 463 cafes we hold are still open at 9pm or later, so a long day does not have to end mid-afternoon. Kitchens usually stop serving well before closing, so order before the last hour rather than after it.

Are there cafes open late in Barcelona?

258 of the 463 cafes we hold in Barcelona are open at 9pm or later on at least one day of the week. One of them never closes at all. Closing times come from each venue's own opening hours rather than an estimate, so a place that shuts at 8:30pm is not on the list.

Is Barcelona a good city for working from cafes?

Barcelona averages 3.2 out of 5 across 463 places, which puts it in the middle of the pack of the 14 cities we cover. Canggu leads on 3.9. The spread between cities is narrower than the spread between two cafes on the same street, so the city rarely decides your day: the choice of place does.
