The 10 most expensive nights

In Barcelona, the 10 most expensive of the 95 measured nights ask a median of €184 to €247; Friday and Saturday nights make up 3 of the 10.

Nearby nights of its kind: the other measured nights of the same kind (Monday to Thursday, or Friday to Sunday) within 7 days either side; a dash where fewer than 3 were measured. Each night links to the places and prices read for it.

How far above an ordinary night

In Barcelona, 20 of the 95 compared nights asked 15% or more above nearby nights of their kind; the largest difference was +111%, on Thursday 31 December 2026.

Not compared: fewer than 3 measured nights of the same kind within 7 days, or a difference above +150%, which reads as a broken scan rather than a market. Nights priced more than 3 times above or below the window's middle are already left out of the window.

The most expensive weekends (Friday + Saturday)

In Barcelona, the most expensive weekend measured is Friday 12 February 2027 and Saturday 13 February 2027: medians of €167 and €187, €355 summed.

A weekend is listed only when both its Friday and its Saturday night were measured; the sum adds two medians and is not the price of any one stay.

Stretches of high prices

In Barcelona, the longest run of consecutive nights each 15% or more above nearby nights of its kind goes from 28 December 2026 to 2 January 2027 (6 nights), peaking at €240 on Thursday 31 December 2026.

A run needs at least two consecutive measured nights; a night not measured or not compared ends it.

Events and holidays on measured nights

In Barcelona, published events and holidays on measured nights: 7; the one furthest above nearby nights of its kind was the night of Tuesday 2 February 2027 (ISE Barcelona 2027): +85%, a median of €238.

An event or holiday is listed only where its night was measured and compared; an event found automatically also needs a source and a difference of at least +15%. The difference belongs to the night: it says what that night asked, not why.

The most expensive night of each month

In Barcelona, the window covers 4 months; the highest monthly peak is €247 on Thursday 4 February 2027.

Only the nights inside the measured window count; a linked month has its own page with every night.
