  • Pro Tip Avoid calling during the 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM lunch break. Best times are 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Barcelona is an international tech and design hub; the vibe is professional but creative. Relationship building is important, and a warm, engaged tone is appreciated.

Rome Business Pulse

  • Culture Formal but passionate. Relationships are built over coffee and long discussions.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Call between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM or 4:00 PM and 5:30 PM. Avoid the 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM lunch break.
