Why choose a holiday to Barcelona?
Experience the best of both worlds in Barcelona, where you can combine a beach break and city adventure. Soak up the combination of oceanfront vibes, architectural marvels, scenic parks and majestic museums in this urban hub.
Navigate through the city effortlessly, absorbing its captivating sights, before pausing at a lively taverna where sangria flows freely. Barcelona offers a multitude of transportation options: pedal along scenic cycle routes, hop on a bus, catch a taxi, or glide through the city on the metro. Everywhere you turn, you'll catch glimpses of Gaudí's masterpieces. If you opt for our car hire option, ensure your hotel provides on-site parking, as finding a spot in the city centre can be challenging. Kick up dust with your own wheels and venture out of central Barcelona to discover medieval towns, seaside villages, blissful beaches and other Spanish treasures.
Embark on cultural escapades during your Barcelona holiday. Explore the fashionable boutiques of Passeig de Gracia, savour al fresco dining in charming street-side taverns, admire fine art at the Museu Picasso, or explore the legendary Barcelona FC Camp Nou Football Stadium.
Take a day trip to the thrilling PortAventura theme park or pack a picnic to enjoy at the beautiful beaches of Sitges. When you return to Barcelona, make your way to Montjuïc hilltop, Parc Güell or the beach promenade. If you time it right, you can catch a glowing sunset over the city.
With convenient daily flights from London to Barcelona, planning your trip to Catalonia's charming capital is as effortless as a Spanish siesta. Make the most of great savings on our package holidays, when you book flights and hotels, or flights and car hire together.
