Correus is Barcelona’s central post office, at Via Laietana 1 in Ciutat Vella. Its stately early-20th-century building is worth stepping inside to see the architecture, even if you have no parcel to send. If you do need postal services, you can send or collect parcels and choose from a selection of stamps. Take a queue ticket and have your documents and identification ready; waits can be long, and some tasks may take time to process.

Its formal exterior and interior hall give the working post office an architectural interest beyond its postal services. You can enter to look around while waiting, or stop in specifically to see the building.
Sending and collecting parcels
The office handles parcel dispatch and collection, as well as postcard postage. Take a queue ticket and wait for your number to be called. The building has a spacious hall where you can sit while you wait.
Bring the documents needed for your task and identification. Some visits can involve a substantial wait, so allow time rather than planning a tight connection afterward. The office is open on weekdays and closed on weekends.
