Barcelona City Council has consolidated a wide range of municipal services on the Barcelona.cat portal, bringing together official news, citizen contact channels, online procedures, maps, event listings and journey information in one place. For residents, commuters and visitors, that means they can use a single official entry point to report incidents, complete paperwork, check city information and find their way around Barcelona without moving between separate websites.

The portal links directly to Info Barcelona, the Ajuntament's official news service, the citizen communication channels page, the electronic office for procedures, the city agenda, the municipal map and the "Com s'hi va" route planner. It also offers language access to Catalan, Spanish and English versions of Info Barcelona.

Barcelona.cat lists the Ajuntament, Contacte, Tràmits, Agenda, Mapa and Com s'hi va services together under "Altres webs de l'Ajuntament de Barcelona".

What users can do from the main portal

The official links published on Barcelona.cat show that users can move from the main portal to several practical services run by the Ajuntament de Barcelona, the city council. These include channels for contacting the council, the Oficina Virtual for digital procedures and the Guia Barcelona agenda for public events and activities.

  • Submit or follow up citizen contact requests through the Ajuntament's official communication channels.
  • Carry out administrative procedures through the council's electronic office.
  • Check jobs and recruitment processes on the municipal selection portal.
  • Search events and activities through Guia Barcelona.
  • Use Planol BCN, the city map, and the "Com s'hi va" route-planning service to locate places and plan journeys (although we recommend CityMapper as the best app to get around the city).

Info Barcelona also organises official updates by topic, including housing, service information, employment and work, culture and leisure, mobility and transport, and urban planning and infrastructure. It further sorts coverage by district, from Ciutat Vella and Eixample to Sant Andreu and Sant Martí.

Three language options and district-based information

The language selector on the official site links to Catalan, Spanish and English editions of Info Barcelona. That matters for international residents and visitors who need access to council information in English, while local readers can move between the city's Catalan and Spanish services from the same ecosystem.

The portal also directs users to district pages for Ciutat Vella, Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc, Les Corts, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Gràcia, Horta-Guinardó, Nou Barris, Sant Andreu and Sant Martí. This gives residents a direct route to updates tied to their own neighbourhood, rather than only city-wide notices.
