Flights to Barcelona: practical information

Regular and low cost flights to Barcelona

While Iberia is Spain's national airline, it certainly doesn't offer the cheapest airline tickets to Barcelona, the capital of Catalunya. If you’re anxious to get away to Barcelona, but think you can’t afford it, think again. There are many cheap tickets to Barcelona from all over the UK. Both British Airways and Iberia fly 8 times daily from London, departing from Heathrow and London City Airport. Alitalia, Swiss, Lufthansa and Air Europe also offer flights from London to Barcelona.

Flying with a low cost airline to Barcelona Airport is by far the cheapest option. EasyJet offers cheap return flights to Barcelona, direct from London, while Norwegian Air and Air Berlin's flights have one stopover before arriving in Barcelona.

Barcelona is without a doubt the most popular city in Spain. It's northern location makes it an easily city break destination from the UK and The Continent.

Flights to Barcelona from London take just over 2h, from Edinburgh, expect flights closer to 2h 35min.

Experience Barcelona: what to do, what to see

It seems like Barcelona is the capital of hedonism, but it’s not. This city knows how to work hard and how to relax. The locals here have got it good in this sunny sea-side city which is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the Mediterranean. It is cunning and edgy, with the perfect balance of work and play. Above all it’s completely beautiful. Where else would you rather be than on holidays in Barcelona?

Essentials in Barcelona

In Barcelona, there is no shortage of things to do, places to go, sites to see and foods to eat. As a matter of fact, you may find yourself short of enough time to go and do and see and taste all you like. Here are some of the most highly recommended attractions you should visit while you are in Barcelona.

Las Ramblas: Walk along the Ramblas, a street that is always full of musicians, living statues, locals and hustlers. It's the vein in the centre of the city, where locals go to meet other locals and foreigners go to try to blend in with the locals. It stretches just over a kilometre from Plaça Catalunya to Part Vell.

Barri Gotic: Otherwise known as Barcelona's Old Town, the Gothic Quarter is spectacular. It's tiny streets create an impassable labyrinth which open up to little plazas and shaded squares. City Hall and the Jewish Quarter are also located here. Find a spot, order a glass of wine and watch the people... this is what Barcelona is all about.

Gaudi: There is no man that has shaped Barcelona more than Antoni Gaudi. La Sagrada Familia is an unfinished masterpiece. It's been under construction for more than 100 years but still manages to attract almost 3 million visitors a year. Park Güel, another favourite Gaudi attraction, is a Dr. Seuss-like wonderland with strange landscapes and colourful glass mosaics.

Fundació Joan Miro: Seated at the top of Monjuic is a geometric temple, dedicated to displaying the many works of 20th century artist, Joan Miró. The artist donated the space to Barcelona, his home-town, in the 1970s and home to 220 paintings, 180 sculptures and 8000+ drawings.

Beaches: Can you believe 7 milliom people hit Barcelona's beache every year? The busiest is Platja de la Nova Icària, beside it is Platja de Bogatell. If you like to bathe in the nude, check out Platja de la Mar Bella.

Accommodations in Barcelona

There are new hotels popping up all over Barcelona all the time, trying to keep up with the continuous growth of tourism to the city. People just can't get enough of this place, can you blame them? Hotels in Barcelona are known for their modern design and even for their "eco-consciousness," thanks several new green hotels opening in the last few years. Hotels in the Gothic Quarter offer easy access to the central sights. The newest hotels however are further away on Eixample or along Diagonal, closer to the waterfront.

Keep peak tourist season and Spanish holidays in mind when booking your accommodations in Barcelona. This city fills up fast on weekends, especially if the forecast looks good! Spain recognises many holidays, especially on a regional level, so always look well in advance when planning any trips.
