10D Barcelona Itinerary for First Timers — Road Trip Around the Best of Catalonia

This epic Barcelona itinerary goes beyond the city. Go skydiving in Girona, hiking in Montserrat, and see first-century Roman ruins in Tarragona!

Updated on 16 Feb 2022.

Like most first-timers to Spain, my knowledge of Catalonia was limited to its capital — Barcelona. I looked forward to seeing Gaudi’s works and eating lots of tapas.

But this trip proved there’s so much more to the region surrounding Barcelona. There are dormant volcanoes to hike into, quirky museums (from some of the most brilliant artists in the world) and even Game of Thrones filming locations!

For those unfamiliar with Catalonia, here’s a short introduction: Catalonia is made up of four regions — Barcelona , Girona, Tarragona, and Lleida.

Despite being part of Spain, Catalonia has its own flag, language, and traditions not found anywhere else in the country. Like the sport of building human towers (below), Castells!

Castells are under the UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage list!

Good news for those hoping to visit as well; Singapore announced a Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) with Spain ! Read on for our 10-day itinerary exploring Barcelona and surrounds.

Pre-trip Essentials

Returning to Singapore (Update as of 22 Feb 2022) — Travellers entering Singapore (citizens included) via the VTL are required to take a supervised ART within 24 hours of arrival.

Do check the latest VTL requirements when planning your trip.

Social distancing restrictions: Most facilities and events are back at 100% capacity. Face masks must be worn indoors and some outdoor locations such as amusement parks.

More pre-trip essentials below such as where to get data and a Google maps with all the locations pinned!

Barcelona and Surrounds Itinerary Overview

This 10-day Catalonia road trip itinerary covers highlights in the Barcelona, Tarragona, and Girona regions in a clockwise direction.

Day 1-3: Barcelona

We spent six weeks based in Barcelona as part of Airbnb’s Live Anywhere Program and still left feeling like there’s so much more left to see!

If you’re only in Barcelona for a few days, here’s what you shouldn’t miss:

La Sagrada Familia

No Barcelona itinerary would be complete without seeing the Sagrada Familia — Gaudí’s last and arguably greatest work. 40 years of his life was dedicated to building the Sagrada Familia, and his last 12 years were spent working solely on it up till his death in 1926.

The interior is unlike any other church. Our eyes were immediately drawn to the ceiling — massive granite columns branching up to the sky. Gaudí’s main inspirations were nature and light and every detail in the church reflected that!

The church is still undergoing construction and was slated to be completed by 2026, but will most likely be delayed due to the pandemic. Entrance includes a detailed audio tour, but you can book guided tours (€49) as well.

Entrance fee: €26 , €24 for those under 30 years old — tickets can only be purchased online) Opening hours: 9AM – 6PM How to get there: Take the L2 or L5 metro line to Sagrada Familia station. Alternatively, take bus 19, 33, 34, 43, 44, 50, 51, B20 or B24 and get off at the Sagrada Familia stop

Park Güell 

Park Güell is another Gaudí must-see in Barcelona. The most iconic part of the park is the Terrace, an excellent vantage point overlooking the city decorated with vibrant mosaic tiles!

The project was intended as a private estate for upper-class families in 1900, but was bought over by the City Council in 1922 due to the lack of interested buyers. No complaints there because Park Güell can now be enjoyed by everyone!

Other notable photo spots here include the Greek Theatre , Dragon Stairway , and Hypostyle Room .

Entrance fee: €10 (~S$15.43) — purchase online beforehand as there are time slots for entry Opening hours: 9:30AM – 5:30PM How to get there: Take the L3 metro line to Lesseps or Vallcarca stations and walk 20min from either station. Or, take bus H6 or D40 and walk 10 min.

Casa Batlló

Photo credit: @casabatllo via Instagram

Glimmering scaled-roofs and mask-shaped balconies; the exterior of Casa Batlló stands out like a sore thumb — in the best possible way. The interior is no less fascinating. For one, you’ll find no straight lines! Every door, window, and tile exudes character, creating Casa Batlló’s lively personality.

Entrance includes a free audio tour sharing the history of Casa Batlló and Gaudí’s inspirations while designing it.

Entrance fee: €35 (~S$54), free for children under 12 — tickets can be purchased online or in-person Opening hours: 9AM – 6:30PM (Tue – Thu), 9AM – 8PM (Fri – Mon) How to get there: Take the L2, L3 or L4 metro line to Passeig de Gràcia station or bus H10, V15, 7, 22 or 24 and walk 3min

Singapore has Orchard Road , Barcelona has La Rambla . This 1.2km-long street stretches from Plaça de Catalunya to Port Vell at the coast. Beyond big brands like Primark and Zara, there’s also street artists and performers here!

*Pro-tip: Take your time to explore the side streets. There are loads of charming bakeries and vintage shops (See Carrer de Tallers street) in the area.

Opening hours: Most shops close by 9PM, but restaurants open till much later How to get there: Take L1 metro line to Catalunya (exit at the beginning of La Rambla at Plaza Catalunya) or L3 metro line to Liceu (exit in the middle of La Rambla)

La Boqueria Market

Boqueria Market isn’t just a colourful feast for the eyes. Salami and cheese bouquets, fresh fruits, and local pastries are some gems you’ll find! We enjoyed snacking on street food, but a highlight was stopping at one of the seafood bars for tapas.

We settled at Ramblero for some calamari, mussels, and grilled octopus. The bill came to €38 (~S$58), but verdict — we’d gladly return for more.

Spoiler — we actually did return. Couldn’t leave without trying their seafood platter (€60) 😂

*Pro-tip: Some stalls start closing around 4PM so it’s good to go earlier!

Entrance fee: Free Opening hours: 8AM – 8:30PM (Mon – Sat, Closed on Sun)  How to get there: Take the L3 metro line to Liceu station. The entrance of La Boqueria is located on La Rambla

If you’d like to explore markets the locals frequent, Barcelona has 38 other food markets scattered all over the city! Just the Eixample district alone has a few — like Ninot Market , and Sant Antoni Market .

Gothic Quarter

The Gothic Quarter , or Barrio Gothic, is one of the best places to visit in Barcelona. It’s one of the oldest neighbourhoods in the city — a labyrinth of bars, shops, and timeless architecture.

Walk the same streets as Picasso , who frequented the restaurant Els Quatre Gats as a young artist in the 1900s. It was here he held one of his first exhibitions! The Gothic Quarter is also home to Barcelona’s oldest restaurant, Can Culleretes  — a family-run eatery since 1786.

In the area, be sure to visit the Cathedral of Barcelona , the Bishop’s Bridge (first photo) and Plaça Reial (second photo).

Entrance fee: Free Opening hours: 24 hours How to get there: Take the L3 metro line to Liceu station. The Gothic Quarter is located opposite La Boqueria.

Hot Chocolate and Churros

Churros con chocolate (Churros with chocolate) is a must-try in Barcelona. And no, it’s not quite the hot chocolate you’re used to — more like pure, sinful melted chocolate to dip the churros in. There are many places selling this snack but one of our favourites was Churrería Laietana !

Cost: €1.70/serving (+ €2 for a cup of melted chocolate) Opening hours: 7AM – 1PM, 4:30PM – 8:30PM (Mon – Fri), 8AM – 1:30PM (Sun), Closed on Sat Address: Via Laietana, 46, 08003 Barcelona

Accommodation in Barcelona (3 Nights): Stay in the Exiample or Gothic Quarter area for easy access to the main attractions. Our Airbnb was located in Exiample and had several dining options nearby.

Day 4: Tarragona

Rent a car in barcelona and drive to tarragona.

Distance: 97.6km  Drive time: 1h 13min

The first stop on this Catalonia road trip is Tarragona, a coastal city famous for well-preserved ancient Roman ruins. It was the first Roman stronghold in Spain, dating back to 218 BC.

Look up car rentals via doyouspain.com and opt to pick it up from Barcelona Sants (train station). We got a five-seater SUV with automatic transmission from OK Rent A Car at €153 (~S$236) for six days (excl. zero excess for insurance).

PortAventura World

PortAventura Park

Start the road trip on a high with a visit to PortAventura Park . This thrill-seeker’s paradise has 43 rides across six themed worlds so you won’t be able to cover them all in a day.

Our favourites were the big coasters like Furius Baco, Shambhala, Dragon Khan, and El Diablo. Despite the long estimated waiting times for the rides, we waited no more than 15 minutes for most of them.

Ferrari Land

Right next to PortAventura Park is another theme park — Ferrari Land , whose main attraction can be spotted from afar. The ride Red Force stands at an intimidating 112m and goes from 0 – 180km/hr in just five seconds. Ferrari Land is much smaller and can be covered in just half a day.

If we had to pick just one park, it’ll be PortAventura Park. It’s almost three times bigger, with a lot more rides.

Entrance fee: From €48 (PortAventura Park), from €20 Ferrari Land). Alternatively, pay €58 for both parks Opening hours: Varies Address: Av. Pere Molas, Km 2, 43840, Tarragona

Accommodation in Tarragona (1 Night): Our Airbnb was located right in front of Mercat De Tarragona (Tarragona’s Central Market) and just a 15-minute drive from the theme parks. Pick an Airbnb or hostel in the same area for easy access to the main landmarks.

Day 5: Tarragona to Montserrat

Spend the first half of the day exploring Tarragona before driving up to Montserrat. The main attractions are all located within walking distance of one another.

Tarragona Market

The Tarragona Market is the heart of the city. Despite being around since 1915, the inside is modern with minimalistic cast-iron columns. Fresh meat, veggies and cooked food are sold on the main floor, while the basement houses a large supermarket.

Entrance fee: Free Opening hours: 8:30AM – 9PM (Mon – Sat, Closed on Sun) Address: Plaça de Corsini, 43001 Tarragona

Tarragona Amphitheatre

Along the coast lies Tarragona Amphitheatre , which has been around since the second century. This was the backdrop of bloody gladiator fights and public executions, witnessed by up to 14,000 spectators.

Besides the amphitheater, there are several Roman landmarks around Tarragona. Like the Roman Circus (above), which used to hold chariot races! A single attraction ticket costs €3.30. Alternatively, get bulk tickets to four Roman monuments and two noble houses for €11.05.

Entrance fee: From €3.30 Opening hours: Varies depending on the season Address: Parc de l’amfiteatre, s/n, 43003 Tarragona (Roman Amphitheatre)

Mediterranean Balcony

Just a two-minute walk from Tarragona Amphitheatre is the Mediterranean Balcony . Here you’ll get the best views of the Mediterranean ocean from Tarragona. According to legend, touching the railing brings good luck!

Entrance fee: Free Opening hours: 24 hours Address: Passeig de les Palmeres, s/n, 43004 Tarragona

Other landmarks in Tarragona include the Monument als Castellers sculpture and Plaça del Sadassos .

Las Ferreres Aqueduct

A 16-minute drive from the main city will take you to Les Ferreres Aqueduct , also known as Devil’s Bridge. This structure has been around since the first century A.D. and used to supply the city with water. These days, visitors can enjoy a scenic walk across the remaining 217-metre long stretch.

Entrance fee: Free Opening hours: 24 hours Address: 43007 Tarragona

Lunch at El Celleret

For lunch, we recommend stopping by El Celleret — a highly-rated local restaurant surrounded by vineyards. It’s roughly a 40-minute drive from Les Ferreres Aqueduct. This establishment is run by the Torres family , a five-generation wine empire since 1870.

They have an a la carte menu , but we settled on the set lunch (€38/pax) which included five starters and two bottles of wine to share, plus a main and dessert each. Dishes feature commonly used ingredients from the area, like wild mushrooms, potatoes and grilled Iberian pork. 😋

El Celleret gets pretty packed, so call ahead to book a table.

Cost: From €15 for a main Opening hours: 1PM – 4PM (Wed – Mon), Closed on Tue Address: Finca el Maset, s/n, 08796 Pacs del Penedès, Barcelona

Drive to Montserrat from El Celleret

Distance: 54km  Drive time: 52min 

Escape the city and head to the jagged peaks of Montserrat ! Montserrat, or “serrated mountain” in Catalan, is one of Catalonia’s most famous landscapes. This can also be done as a day trip from Barcelona via train, so feel free to reshuffle the itinerary.

Montserrat Monastery and Escolonia Boy’s Choir

Founded over a thousand years ago, Montserrat Monastery is one of Catalonia’s most recognised landmarks.

End the night with a performance by Escolanía de Montserrat in the Montserrat Basilica. This prestigious all-boys choir is one of Europe’s oldest singing groups, with a history of over 700 years!

Entrance fee: Free Performance timings: Escolanía de Montserrat typically performs twice daily, in the afternoon and at night [ schedule ] Address: 08199 Montserrat, Barcelona

Accommodation at Montserrat (1 Night): Abat Oliba Hostel is conveniently located just beside the Abbey of Montserrat and offers both dorm beds and family rooms.

*Pro-tip: There are limited dining options at Montserrat. La Cafeteria is the most budget option but it closes early (4:30PM on weekdays, 6:30PM on weekends). Pack some food and snacks before driving up.

Day 6: Montserrat to Girona

A popular hike here is to the peak of Sant Jeroni and there are two ways up. You could start from the base which will take around six hours roundtrip. If you’re pressed for time, you can cut that journey in half by taking the Sant Joan Funicular up and hike the rest of the way.

Sant Joan Furnicular

Sant Joan Furnicular takes you from the lower station near the Abbey of Montserrat up to 1,000m above sea level.

If you’re hiking up, there’s a clearly marked path on the right side of Upper Sant Joan Station leading to the summit, Sant Jeroni.

Cost: €9.10 for a single journey , €14 for return Opening hours: Varies Address: 08293 Monestir de Montserrat, Barcelona

Hike up Montserrat’s Peak, Sant Jeroni

The path is well-marked and not too steep, so kids can take on this hike too. We even spotted mountain goats along the way!

It’ll take around 2.5hrs to get to Sant Jeroni (1,236m), but there are many viewpoints along the way so look out for those as well.

The last stretch includes a long flight of steps but trust us, the view at the top is worth it.

After that, either return to Sant Joan upper station and take the furnicular down or take an alternate hiking route to Montserrat Monastery.

If you’re opting for the latter, look out for a Y-junction on the way down from the peak. Take the path labelled “Pla dels Ocells” (where the hiker is standing). It’ll take roughly an hour from here to return to the Monastery.

Drive to Girona from Montserrat

Distance: 131km  Drive time: 1h 38min 

A 1.5-hour drive from Barcelona, most visitors just experience Girona Old Town as a day trip. But we suggest staying overnight to experience more of what Girona province has to offer!

Accommodation at Girona (3 Nights): Pick a hostel or Airbnb within Girona Old Town.

Day 7: Girona

Girona old town.

Start the day visiting the iconic colourful houses along the River Onyar — best viewed from Pont de Ferro , a bright red iron bridge built by Gustave Eiffel. The name should ring a bell; he’s the same architect who built the Eiffel Tower in Paris!

The Girona Cathedral is the city’s crown jewel. It was built between the 11th and 18th centuries and houses one of the world’s widest Gothic naves.

Fun fact: From the sixth season of Game of Thrones onwards, the crew stopped filming in Dubrovnik and used this church instead as the Great Sept of Baelor .

The Sant Marti Sacosta church is another GOT spot that shouldn’t be missed. The steps to the entrance are the same ones Arya Stark took when she was running from the Waif in Braavos !

Another great thing to do in Girona is walking along the 1.6km-long City Walls — no entrance fee! 🥳

If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, opt for a GOT tour . The tour comes with an experienced guide who will introduce the prominent filming locations as well as the interesting history of Girona.

Girona Game of Thrones Walking Tour Cost: €30/pax Tour timings: 10:30AM and 3PM Meeting point: Plaça Sant Feliu, 08028 Barcelona

Local Cuisine in Girona

Rocambolesc Gelateria was set up by Girona local Jordi Roca , who was crowned “World’s Best Pastry Chef” in 2014!

Many dishes in Girona feature locally produced ingredients like mushrooms, meats, and wines — and the people here are really proud of their food scene.

Recommended eateries include Rocambolesc Gelateria (gourmet ice cream), Normal (traditional Catalan cuisine), Bubbles Gastrobar & Restaurant (signature tapas).

Day 8: Girona

Option 1: hot air balloon over la garrotxa.

An hour’s drive from Girona Old Town is the stunning volcanic region of Garrotxa . The area is known for medieval villages and a range of dormant volcanoes. We opted to start our morning on a high with the best view of La Garrotxa — from a hot air balloon!

Pink cava (sparkling wine) and local cake is served onboard!

The balloon ascends two meters per second, up to heights of 2,100m. But don’t worry, you’ll hardly notice as you’ll be completely transfixed with the view — there’s the Pyrenees and Montserrat on the horizon, and the Santa Margarida volcanic crater right at your feet.

Rides last between an hour to an hour and a half depending on wind conditions.

Celebrate another item ticked off the bucket list with a Catalan brunch — botifarra (a type of sausage), haricot beans, bread with tomato, and a salami platter. For drinks, there’s wine, coffee, tea, and a shot of ratafia (a local liquor, a really potent one).

Cost: €170 (Weekdays), €185 (Weekends and PH) Meet up time: 7:30AM Address: Afores, s/n, 17811 Santa Pau, Girona

Explore Surrounding Old Towns

Visit surrounding medieval villages like Santa Pau if you’ve got time to spare. It’s a good base to go on hikes around the area !

Option 2: Hike up at Santa Margarida

There’s also several hiking routes in the area for those who’d prefer to explore La Garrotxa on foot.

One of those we explored was the dormant Santa Margarida Volcano , famous for a lone hermitage built in the centre of the crater. Not much is known about the abandoned shack, other than it has a Roman origin.

There are various routes around here but the fastest would be to park at Santa Margarida Car Park . Parking is free and the entrance is clearly marked.

If you’re up for the challenge, there’s a 11km route (~4.5hrs) which also covers Croscat Volcano and Faeda d’en Jordà Forest.

Lunch at La Deu in Olot

Candied cod loin with sweet potato puree. Yum.

La Garrotxa’s rich fertile soil produces high-quality crops, and it’d be a sin to leave without trying some volcanic cuisine . We checked out Restaurant La Deu for lunch (a ~10min drive from Santa Margarida). It’s one of La Garrotxa’s oldest eateries, around since 1885!

The mains and desserts were yummy, but we were completely sold on the starters — mixed mushrooms and a creamy pumpkin soup with Garrotxa cheese.

Cost: From €23.95 for a set meal incl. a starter, main and dessert Opening hours: 10AM – 10:30PM (Mon – Sat), 10AM – 7PM (Sun) Address: Carretera de la Deu, s/n, 17800 Olot, Girona

Day 9: Figueres to Barcelona

Skydive empuriabrava.

Another way to take in the view from the top is at Skydive Empuriabrava ! Empuriabrava’s mix of ocean and mountain views make it a rewarding place to try skydiving — especially if it’s your first time, as it was for me.

After a safety briefing by experienced instructors, we were ushered onto a small aircraft. I’ll admit I was slightly (read: extremely ) nervous during the ascent to 4000m.

But once the light turned red and we exited the plane, I felt my fear leave as well. After a 30-second free fall to 1,500m, your shoot is deployed. Our instructors even let us try navigating the parachute! The whole experience was liberating — truly the best way to take in the views.

Cost: From €280 (top up required for photos and videos) Opening hours: 9AM – 5PM Address: Sector Aeroclub, s/n, 17487 Empuriabrava, Girona

Drive to Figueres from Skydive Empuriabrava

Distance: 15.3km Drive time: 21min

Lunch at Txot’s Sidreria in Figueres

Txot’s Sideria is great for tapas — there’s over 100 items listed on the menu . Order a couple to share!

Cost: ~€12/pax Opening hours: 12PM – 12:30AM Address: Avinguda de Salvador Dalí i Domènech, 114, 17600 Figueres, Girona

Dali Theatre-Museum

The Dali Theatre-Museum is the main reason why people visit Figueres . But even if you’ve got no clue who Dali is, this museum is worth a visit! Dali was an eccentric artist and his work is equally eccentric. For starters, the exterior is covered with eggs.

The inside is just as fascinating. Most art museums have a minimalistic layout with just one or two paintings per wall. Not the Dali Theatre-Museum — there’s art everywhere you look (ceilings included!).

Entrance fee: €14 (~S$21.62) Opening hours: 10:30AM – 6PM (Check the museum calendar before visiting as they close on certain dates) Address: Plaça Gala i Salvador Dalí, 5, 17600 Figueres, Girona

Drive to Barcelona from Figueres

Distance: 145.5km Drive time: 1hr 32min

After the Dali Theatre-Museum, drive back to Barcelona and return the car.

Accommodation in Barcelona (1 Night): Same as the first three nights.

Day 10: Barcelona and Flight Home

Visit other attractions like the Tibidabo Amusement Park , Mercat dels Encants (secondhand market) or Casa Mila before heading to Barcelona Airport.

There’s a shuttle bus service ( €5.90 one way ) to the airport from Placa Catalunya and Placa Espanya which departs every six minutes.

Bonus: Stay in a 13th-century Farmhouse

This 13th-century farmhouse on Airbnb was a little out of the way (1.5hr drive from Barcelona or 30min drive from Girona), but we loved it so much I just had to mention it.

Warm hospitality, beautifully decorated rooms, and adorable donkeys outside — this was a stay we won’t soon forget. If you can afford to extend your trip by one or two days, this is an experience worth including!

Tips for Planning Your Next Trip to Spain

Youthful, sexy, full of life and culture — that was my impression of Spain. After spending some time here, it’s still true.

Our 10-day road trip around Catalonia packed enough adventure to make up for the lack of travel for the past two years.

We got to tick off bucket list experiences like skydiving and taking a hot air balloon ride, visiting several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and eating loads of good food!

We knew we would love Spain before arriving but now it’s official — Spain is up there on our list of favourite destinations. Hoping to visit? Here are some pre-trip essentials:

Connectivity: A 12GB SIM card plan from Vodafone costs €10 (~S$15.45) and is valid for 30 days

Transport within Barcelona: The Hola Barcelona Travel Card includes unlimited rides on trams, buses and metros. Choose from 48, 72, 96 or 120 hour cards from €16 (~S$24.72). Alternatively, purchase pre-paid rides from the machines at metro stations. A single ride within zone 1 costs €2.40 but 10 rides cost €11.35 — useful if you’re planning to walk most of the time.

Language: Most locals can speak English, but prefer to speak Spanish or Catalan. It’ll be useful to learn basic Spanish before visiting. These few phrases should help you get by:

Best Ways to Get Around Barcelona: The Ultimate Guide (2024)

Getting to a new city is the first part of the vacation battle – the next trick is to find your way around it! And nowhere is that truer than Barcelona, with its sprawling neighborhoods that can quickly exhaust you if you don’t find out how to get from A to B ASAP.

Fortunately, I live in Spain and so I’ve been able to spend a bunch of time in Barcelona exploring every nook and cranny of the city. And this has meant that I’m definitely well placed to let you know the best ways to get around Barcelona.

Stick with me and you’ll be navigating Barcelona like a local in no time. Whether you’re an art lover, foodie, history buff, or all of the above, Barcelona is about to become your playground. 

Key takeaways :

Barcelona’s metro and bus system is excellent – and if you want unlimited travel on all public transportation while you’re here (including free travel to and from the airport by metro ), the Hola Barcelona travel card is a great choice.

To get to and from the airport, going by taxi is the easiest but most expensive option. Another still very convenient (and much cheaper) option is the Aerobús , which runs every 5-10 minutes and stops at several key locations in the city .

If you want a hassle-free way to see all the sights , especially if you’re only in Barcelona for a few days, you should definitely consider the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus . It’s incredibly popular here, for good reason.

Finally, don’t bother renting a car in Barcelona – you don’t need it and it’s more trouble than it’s worth.

Best ways to get around Barcelona

The metro is the backbone of Barcelona’s public transportation system. It’s fast, reliable, and covers most of the city. 

There are 12 metro lines operated by Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) that run from 5 am to midnight on weekdays and until 2 am on weekends. 

You can buy single tickets or multi-journey cards like the T-casual ticket. Alternatively, if you’re planning on using public transportation frequently during your stay, you can also opt for a Hola Barcelona Travel Card . 

This card offers unlimited travel on all public transportation for 2, 3, 4, or 5 consecutive days , among other great benefits – including free travel to and from the airport by metro .

Find out more about the Hola Barcelona Travel Card here.

Public bus network

Barcelona’s bus network is extensive and covers areas that are not served by the metro. There are over 100 bus lines operated by TMB, and the buses run from 5 am to midnight. 

The tickets mentioned above for the metro also work on the bus. While the metro lets you obviously avoid traffic on the roads, the bus is a great option if you want to see the city’s sights from above ground.

Airport bus

One extra bus service you should keep in mind is the Aerobús . It runs between the airport and the city every 5-10 minutes and stops at several key locations in the city, including Plaça de Catalunya, Gran Via-Urgell, and Plaça d’Espanya. 

The journey takes approximately 35 minutes and costs €5.90 for a one-way ticket or €10.20 for a round-trip ticket.

It’s a particularly good choice for those who are traveling with a lot of luggage or who don’t want to deal with the hassle of public transportation.

You can get your tickets for the Aerobus in advance here to get you on your way as soon as you land.

Sightseeing bus

If you plan to be in Barcelona for a few days and want to see all the main sights as easily as possible, consider jumping on the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus .

It goes along two different routes (either of which you can take at any time), ensuring that you’re taken essentially everywhere you’ll want to see as a visitor here. You’ll stop at the following:

It’s a hassle-free way to quickly and easily get to all the highlights, especially as you’re getting your bearings in a new city.

Grab a 24- or 48-hour ticket for the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus here.

Barcelona has six tram lines operated by Tramvia Metropolità de Barcelona. The trams run from 5 am to midnight on weekdays and until 2 am on weekends. 

The tram is a particularly great option if you want to explore the city’s coastal areas. Plus, you can use the same tickets as you use for the metro and the bus, so it’s basically no hassle at all.

Bike rental

If you prefer to have more flexibility with your biking, you can rent a bike from one of the many bike rental shops in the city. You can choose from a variety of bikes, including mountain bikes, road bikes, and electric bikes. 

Many of the rental shops also offer guided bike tours, which are a great way to see the city and learn about its history and culture. My favorite bike tour of Barcelona is here – it’s a half-day tour and covers tons of the city’s highlights, with some super interesting facts about the sights you’ll find on the way.

Barcelona is a city that’s meant to be explored on foot. With its narrow streets and hidden alleys, it is easy to get lost in the city’s charm. 

Not to mention, of course, that walking is a great way to discover the city’s many parks, plazas, and museums.

Just don’t forget to bring a comfortable pair of shoes and plenty of water, as the city can get hot and crowded during peak tourist season.

Taxis are readily available throughout the city, and can be hailed on the street or found at designated taxi stands. They are usually black and yellow, and have a green light on the roof when they are available. 

Taxis in Barcelona are metered, and the fare is calculated based on distance and time. The minimum fare is €2.55, and the average cost of a taxi ride in the city is between €7 and €15.

It’s important to note that taxis in Barcelona are regulated by the city government, and there are strict rules in place to ensure that passengers are not overcharged. If you have any issues with a taxi driver, you can file a complaint with the city’s taxi regulator.

MyTaxi is a ride-hailing app that allows you to book a taxi in Barcelona using your smartphone. It works in much the same way as Uber, but with licensed taxi drivers rather than private drivers. 

With MyTaxi, you can track your driver’s location in real-time, and pay for your ride using the app. The app also allows you to rate your driver and provide feedback on your experience.

One of the benefits of using MyTaxi is that you can be sure that you are getting a licensed taxi driver who has been vetted by the city government. This can provide peace of mind for passengers who are concerned about safety and security.

Uber is available in Barcelona, although it’s important to note that the company has faced legal challenges in the city, and its operations have been restricted by the city government. As a result, Uber isn’t as widely available in Barcelona as it is in other parts of the world.

If you do choose to use Uber in Barcelona, it’s important to be aware of the legal issues surrounding the service. You should also be prepared for the possibility of encountering protests or demonstrations by taxi drivers who are opposed to Uber’s presence in the city.

What’s your perfect destination for your dream trip to Spain?

Want to discover a city or live your island dreams?

Embrace the food scene or step through the pages of history?

Whatever your travel style, discover the perfect Spanish city to add to your trip here!

Cabify is easily the main alternative to Uber in Barcelona. In fact, the company was actually founded in the city and is now much more widely used by locals than Uber.

It works in much the same way, so simply download the app, add a payment method and you’ll be on your way.

Biking sharing

Barcelona is a city that’s perfect for biking. With its bike lanes seemingly increasing by the day, it’s easy to get around on a bike – as long as you’re ok with the occasional hill. 

Plus, it’s a great way to see the city and explore its hidden gems!

And one of the best ways to get around Barcelona is by bike-sharing. The city’s bike-sharing program, Bicing , has over 6,000 bikes and 420 stations throughout the city. 

You can purchase a yearly membership or a short-term pass, which allows you to rent a bike for up to two hours at a time.

Just keep in mind though that this isn’t going to be an option if you’re only here for a few days, unfortunately, as it’s geared towards residents. If you are just here visiting and want to get on two-wheels, heading to a bike rental store is going to be more your speed.

How to get from Barcelona airport to the city?

One of the most popular ways to get from Barcelona airport to the city is by taking the Aerobus. This shuttle service runs every 5-10 minutes and stops at several key locations in the city, including Plaça de Catalunya, Gran Via-Urgell, and Plaça d’Espanya. 

The Aerobus is a convenient option for travelers who want to get to their destination quickly and easily. It’s also a great choice for those who are traveling with a lot of luggage or who don’t want to deal with the hassle of public transportation.

However, there are also train options to get from El Prat Airport, the main airport serving Barcelona which is located approximately 12 km southwest of the city center. 

You can also, of course, take a taxi or rent a car if you really want to, but it’s not necessary so perhaps save your money (unless you’re a group, which may make a taxi more affordable).

Getting around Barcelona by car

If you decide to rent a car to get around Barcelona, keep in mind that driving in the city can be quite challenging, especially during rush hour. However, renting a car can give you the freedom to explore the city and its surrounding areas at your own pace.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

Traffic congestion

Barcelona has an extensive network of roads, but the city center can be quite congested, and parking can be difficult to find. If you do decide to drive, be aware that traffic can be heavy during peak hours, and drivers won’t hesitate to tell you off if they think you’ve made a mistake. 

Also, it’s a good idea to have Google Maps or some other GPS handy, as the streets can be confusing to navigate.

Parking in Barcelona can be a challenge, especially in the city center. Street parking is available, but it can be difficult to find a spot, and parking regulations can be confusing. 

There are also several public parking garages throughout the city, but they can be expensive. 

If you do decide to park on the street, make sure to read the signs carefully and pay attention to any parking restrictions.

Renting a car

If you decide to rent a car in Barcelona, there are several rental companies to choose from. 

Most major international car rental companies have offices in the city, and there are also several local companies that offer competitive rates. 

What is the best way to get around Barcelona as a tourist?

For tourists, Barcelona is best explored on foot or by public transport. Notably, for tourists, the best way to get around Barcelona is by using the fast, efficient and affordable metro system. It also runs into the night, making it convenient for exploring the city no matter what time it is.

The metro system in Barcelona is well-connected, and is easy to navigate. With nine metro lines that connect all the major tourist attractions, it’s easy for tourists to get around the city.

FYI: Don’t forget that you can use the metro for free as much as you want by grabbing the Hola Barcelona Travel Card – including to get to and from the airport!

Just make sure you keep an eye on your belongings, especially when the metro approaches stops in touristy areas. Carriages can get pretty packed during peak hours and the city’s pickpocketing problem can raise its annoying head in a busy metro without you realizing it until later.

Another great way to get around Barcelona is by using the public bus system. The bus system is extensive, and it covers all the major tourist attractions in the city. The buses are air-conditioned, and they run from early in the morning until late at night. 

A great aspect of this is that the same tickets work on the bus and the metro, so you don’t have to mess around with figuring out different ticketing systems.

If you want to explore the city at your own pace, you can rent a bicycle. Barcelona has a bike-sharing system called Bicing, which allows you to rent a bike for a small fee. 

You can also rent a bike from one of the many bike rental shops in the city. Cycling is a great way to explore the city, and it allows you to see the sights from a different perspective. 

However, be aware that the streets of Barcelona can be busy and chaotic, so it’s a good idea to ensure that you’re comfortable cycling in traffic before renting a bike..

How to travel around Barcelona cheaply?

Barcelona has an excellent public transportation system that is both affordable and efficient. The metro is the most popular option, but the same tickets also work on buses and trams. And if you’re really looking to get around Barcelona cheaply, the city is also very walkable!

As I mentioned before, the Hola BCN! travel card is also a great choice if you’re looking to save money while seeing as much of the city as possible. In particular, it offers unlimited travel on all public transportation for 2, 3, 4, or 5 consecutive days, among other great benefits.

Regarding the option of walking, many of the main attractions are within walking distance of each other. Walking allows you to explore the city at your own pace and is a great way to discover hidden gems that you might miss on public transportation.

If you prefer to bike, there are a ton of great bike rental stores around. Barcelona also has a bike-sharing service called Bicing, but unfortunately it’s not available for tourists.

Are taxis expensive in Barcelona?

Compared to other European cities, taxis in Barcelona are fairly affordable. However, if you’re used to taking public transport or walking, you may find their cost to be higher than expected. For example, a taxi from Barcelona airport to the city center typically costs between €30 to €35. 

From Terminal 1 (T1) expect to pay about €30 while Terminal 2 (T2) is about €35. For groups larger than four, ask one of the taxi stand attendants to call a van taxi (€4.30 supplement). 

Passengers should note that taxi fares in Barcelona are higher on weekends, holidays, and after midnight.

Taxis in Barcelona charge a minimum fare of €2.15, which includes the initial pick-up fee. After that, the fare increases based on the distance traveled and time spent in the taxi. 

There are two different taxi rates per km that apply depending on the day and time of the ride. The rate per km from Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, is €1.23, while the rate per km from Monday to Friday, 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM, and all day on weekends and holidays, is €1.42.

Whether or not this is good value for you will largely depend on how many of you there are traveling together. If you’re alone or a couple and you’re traveling on a budget, you may want to consider taking public transportation or walking to save money.

Can I use Uber in Barcelona?

On whether you can use Uber to get around the city, the answer is yes and no. While Uber does work in Barcelona, it isn’t as fully operational as you may be used to in other cities largely due to legal issues the company has had in Spain.

Notably, taxi drivers in Spain have been known to protest against Uber, so it’s important to be aware of this before you decide to use the service.

If you do decide to use Uber in Barcelona, you may find that the service isn’t as reliable as it is in other cities. While you can use the app to request a ride, you may have to wait longer for a driver to arrive. 

Additionally, there may be areas of the city where Uber is not available, so it’s important to have a backup plan in case you can’t get a ride.

For all these reasons, most people use Cabify instead , which works in basically the same way as Uber but tends to have more availability.

Is Barcelona a walkable city?

Yes, Barcelona is a very walkable city, making it a great place to explore on foot. With many of the city’s top attractions located in one area, walking is an excellent way to see the sights and experience the unique atmosphere of the city.

One of the best things about walking in Barcelona is the opportunity to discover hidden gems that you might miss if you were traveling by car or public transport. Exploring the narrow streets and alleyways of the Gothic Quarter or the trendy neighborhood of El Raval can lead you to some of the city’s most charming cafes, shops, and bars.

Of course, there are some areas of the city that are less walkable than others. For example, the Olympic Village and the Montjuïc area are spread out and require more time to explore. However, even these areas can be easily reached by public transport or by bike.

But, in general, Barcelona is a very walkable city, and it’s easy to get around on foot. Whether you’re strolling along the beachfront, exploring the winding streets of the Gothic Quarter, or wandering through the bustling markets of La Boqueria, walking is a great way to experience the unique charm of this vibrant and exciting city.

Here are some tips for making the most of your walking adventures in Barcelona:

• Wear comfortable shoes: With so much to see and do, you’ll want to make sure your feet are up to the challenge. Comfortable shoes are a must, especially if you plan on doing a lot of walking.
• Stay hydrated: Barcelona can get hot, especially in the summer months. Be sure to carry a water bottle with you and take breaks to rest and rehydrate.
• Use a map: While getting lost can be part of the fun, it’s always a good idea to have a map handy, especially if you’re exploring a new area of the city. Assuming you’re traveling with a smartphone, just download the map of Barcelona in Google Maps before leaving your wifi so you won’t have to use any data to get around.

What’s the cheapest way to travel in Barcelona?

If you want to explore Barcelona on a budget, there are several cheap transportation options available. Here are some of the cheapest ways to travel around the city:

Barcelona has an extensive metro system that covers most of the city. It’s the cheapest and fastest way to get around. 

While there are single tickets, you can save money by purchasing a T-casual card, which gives you 10 journeys for a lower per-trip price.

If you’re just here for a few days and think you’ll be using public transport quite a bit, you should also take another look at the Hola Barcelona Travel Card . I mentioned it a bit earlier – it’s the one that gives you free use of all public transport, including free metro rides to and from the airport.

The metro runs from 5 am until midnight on weekdays and until 2 am on weekends.

Barcelona also has an extensive bus network that covers the entire city and uses the same ticketing system as the metro, meaning it’s equally as good value. It can, however, be slower, especially during peak traffic times.

Walking is definitely the cheapest way to get around Barcelona. It’s also a great way to explore the city and discover things that you might not see otherwise. 

Fortunately, Barcelona is a very walkable city, and many of the main attractions are within walking distance of each other. Plus, walking is good exercise and a great way to burn off all the delicious food you’ll be eating!

Do you need a car in Barcelona as a tourist?

No, you don’t need a car in Barcelona as a tourist. In fact, having a car can be more of a hindrance here, given parking difficulties. Instead, Barcelona has an excellent public transportation system that includes buses, trains, and a metro system that covers the entire city. 

The metro is the most convenient and efficient way to get around, but the bus system is great too, although can be slightly slower thanks to traffic.

If you do decide to rent a car, keep in mind that parking in Barcelona can be challenging and expensive. Many areas of the city are pedestrian-only, and it can be tricky to navigate the narrow streets and one-way systems.

Additionally, traffic can be heavy, especially during peak tourist season.

For anyone looking to travel outside the city, there are plenty of car rental options available for those days. However, for the most part, a car is unnecessary and can be more of a hassle than a convenience.

Where to buy Barcelona public transport tickets

When it comes to getting around Barcelona, public transport is the way to go. But how do you buy tickets? Don’t worry, it’s easy and convenient. Here are your options:

• Ticket machines: You can buy tickets at any metro or train station from the vending machines. They accept both cash and credit cards. The machines have instructions in several languages, including English, so you won’t have any trouble using them.
• Tobacco shops and newsstands: You can also buy tickets at some tobacco shops and newsstands. Look for a sign that says “Venta de billetes de transporte” (sale of transport tickets). These shops usually have a limited selection of tickets, but they’re convenient if you’re in a hurry.
• Online: You can buy tickets online from the official website of the public transport company in Barcelona, TMB. You can choose to receive the tickets by email or pick them up at a vending machine.

But if you decide to just buy a normal ticket, once you’ve bought it, you’re good to go. Remember to validate your ticket before boarding the bus or train. 

You’ll see a machine at the entrance where you need to insert your ticket to stamp it with the date and time. And if you have a multi-trip ticket, don’t stress as you only need to validate it once per trip.

Would you recommend the Hop On Hop Off Bus option? We have found this very helpful and enjoyable in cities in the United States as a way to get your bearings in a new city and an easy way to get to all of the popular sites without having to figure it our ourselves.

Hi Barbara – the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus is a great choice in Barcelona for all the reasons you mentioned. I’d especially recommend it if you plan to be here for only a few days (noting that the tickets are for 24 or 48 hours) as it’s a really straightforward way to make sure you see all the highlights with minimal stress.

Keep in mind that, in Barcelona, this bus actually takes two routes ( you can see which sites each route covers here ), either of which you’re free to use at any time while the ticket is valid. But I just mention it as I know some people like to do one route on day 1 and then the other one on day 2, assuming you have enough time in your vacation plan.

Princess Cruises and Fincantieri Announce to Postpone Delivery of Star Princess

By downloading this image you agree to the Princess asset use terms and conditions

MONFALCONE, Italy, (April 19, 2024) – Princess Cruises and ship builder Fincantieri today announced the mutual decision to postpone the delivery of the next Sphere Class ship, Star Princess.

Following a comprehensive review of the remaining construction milestones, both parties have elected to adjust the ship's delivery date from July 29, 2025 to September 26, 2025, which will result in the cancellation of the nine inaugural sailings.

“Despite our collective dedication and relentless pursuit to deliver the ship in late July, it has become evident that additional time is required to ensure the Star Princess is delivered to the highest standards expected by our guests,” said John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises.

The new inaugural sailings of Star Princess will sail roundtrip from Barcelona and include an 11-day Mediterranean voyage on October 4, 2025, and a 7-day Mediterranean voyage on October 15, 2025, that precede a 14-day transatlantic crossing to Fort Lauderdale on October 22, 2025 for the ship’s first Caribbean season. These three new cruises will open for sale on April 30, 2024.

Guests who are booked on any of the impacted voyages will be given three options: book any Princess cruise worldwide, including aboard the new Star, sister ship Sun Princess, or any other Princess ship.

Guests who elect to rebook will receive future cruise- and onboard-credits depending on the cruise they select.  Guests will also have the option to cancel and receive a full refund of the cruise fare.

Princess will protect travel agent commissions on all bookings that have been paid in full.

Star Princess is the second in the new Sphere Class of ships for Princess. Sister ship Sun Princess, built by Fincantieri in Monfalcone, debuted in February and is hailed as the next level Love Boat featuring the iconic and elegant structural lines Princess is known for, while delivering an evolution of the brand with new eye-catching architectural spectacles like The Dome, the cruise industry’s first geodesic feature on the top deck, and The Sphere, the suspended glass Sphere Piazza at the center of the cruise ship.

More details on both Sphere Class ships can be found at  www.princess.com/sunprincess .

The plane was so hot upon boarding. Their boarding process was so unnecessarily long. Service was subpar.

They went out of their way. It was very clean and friendly.

Thank you to the cordial crew and good hydration throughout the flight, food was good too. Carry ons usually weight by themselves so it does reduce option for cold weather clothes that are heavy, so carryon weight is tight.

Delay on take if- short connecting time- was supposed to have a wheelchair to connecting flight- limped with a cane thru the airport to make a connection

Crew took my carry on and checked it in; turned out to be a blessing; however the luggage was delayed at my final destination; receiving it 36 hours later. Thought, we'd get, at least water; but the Swiss chocolate was delicious. Thanks.

Like the blanket. Food wasn’t good and boarding was a mess

A lot of things could have been better. They lost our luggage. We missed our connection from YVR to Naples when we arrived in Zurich and then we got re-routed to Rome and then Naples. We eventually got to Naples but our bags didn’t. Our experience at the lost luggage in the Naples was not at all reassuring. They didn’t seem that interested in our problem. I did a live chat with Swiss customer service and all they could do is tell me to follow the process. Meanwhile we’ve had to spend significant money on clothes and I have to replace medications. This has meant our trip so far has been totally different than what we had planned. It’s not clear that our baggage will ever show up which means we will have lost significant amount of clothing and other things and our two month trip to Europe will have more problems than good memories. So far we are not happy.

The flight was canceled so it’s stupid to send me this now !!!!!

Hi. You canceled my trip and now you are asking me for review? Check my trip record and you will have my review. Call your customer service and you will have the answer. This was the worst experience in my life. Sorry for you.

The whole flight was coughing and farting all the way. It was impossible to breathe. If people are traveling sick they should either not be allowed to fly or made wear masks

I will never fly vueling. 1h30 delayed, connexion missed with the crew closing the boarding in front of us. 40 people missed the Barcelona-Orly connexion. hours waiting for rebooking and hotel.. inadmissible

3 hr flight from Barcelona to Gran Canaria. Ŵent according to plan No issues with staff oŕ flight. Many people includiñg us could not get luggage self checķ in termìnals to work. Had to wait in check in line.

The communication about the delay could have been better before and during the flight. Also, this online form could have less bugs. It is almost impossible to type in this window.

Boarding was very poor as the flight was initially delayed. We were told the flight would be at 21:40. We were with our 10 month baby who was sleeping. I received an email from Kayak which said the flight was now due to take off at 21:04. When we checked the screens at Gatwick we were told the gate was closed. The lack of communication was extremely poor and we had to run with our baby and there were many other passengers, including elderly people, also running to the gate. When we got to the gate, the staff had no reasons for the poor communication.

It was a short flight but the seat was very straight. I didn’t need any service, but wifi was not available. In resume, a normal service. Nice, the punctuality. Thanks

Bought check in baggage but couldn’t do it at the kiosk, had to line up just to get baggage tag which was a very long queue with only 1 customer service agent handling all vueling flights. Had to wait about 45mins just to get a bag tag and drop baggage.

Last time bucking this company if I would know I wouldn’t do it, they made me lose my flight

Nous sommes parties de Copenhague avec plus de 2h de retard. L'avion n'a pas pu atterrir à Paris et après avoir encore perdu du temps en vol, a atterri à Bruxelles. Une navette devait nous prendre en charge pour nous ramener à Paris mais personne ne nous a renseignés, on a tourné en rond dans l'aéroport durant plus de 2h, sans trouver de solution pour rentrer (pas de train, pas de voiture de location...). Nous avons fini par monter dans un car affrété par une autre compagnie et qui nous a déposés à CDG. Ensuite il fallu prendre un Uber (il était plus de 2h du matin) pour rentrer, qui a couté presque 90 €. Donc non, je ne suis pas satisfaite des services de la compagnie Vueling.

I liked the regular updates and appreciated the automatic online checkin which didn’t work for our Vueling flight so I had to do this myself.

Hated every minute of it. Delayed for over 10 hours only to have to cancel rental car, car insurance and hotel. Its taken me 3days to get to my final destination when it should have only taken 12-14 hours. Very unhappy with Lufthansa.

That was no easy way to get on board in the plane was very hot and I couldn’t talk to the crewmember there super rude and they couldn’t fix the AC. They felt very uncomfortable for 3 1/2 hours flight. I would not use airline next time. Thank you.

Departure was delayed by 2 hours and passengers were sitting on the plane.

Checking in for ongoing flight from Singapore could not be done in the UK. This meant we were not sure whether we had seats together or in the right place. This needs sorting!!

Overall good experience. Polite crew. Good foodandentertainment. Seats are small and bit congested though.

During the flight there was a medical emergency. We were diverted. Of course I'm thankful they cared for the health of that passenger, but they did a poor job of communicating with the rest of us passengers. In the end we arrived at our destination several hours late, with no direction of how to rebook missed connecting flights. It all worked out in the end. Those of us that needed accommodations were put up in a hotel by Lufthansa until we could make it to our final destination. But it was United Airlines Personnel who really helped us navigate the process.

Food was OK.. nothing to rave about but it was tasty enough. Many choices to choose from for entertainment. Seats tight but comfortable. Flight attendants cheerful & helpful.

This flight space was way better than our international flight. Efficient boarding and comfortable

Prompt boarding, safe landing and they didn't lose our luggage. No entertainment and no USB plugs to charge phones. No food, though I might have been asleep.

Just lucky: After realizing I was on "standby" b/c of a technical seat problem, someone volunteered to go Premium Economy, & I got to keep my Business seat. Found broken headphones, and they replaced them immediately! Excellent food and beverage service. Although we went to ALM first on our way to NQZ, it meant Business class was almost empty for the last 1.5 hours of flight- heavenly!

easyJet need to ensure that whether pre-booking seats or not children aren’t split from their parents the crew spent the majority of boarding asking passengers to move to accommodate two families. Surely the system identifies minors on a booking !!!!! It was all very frustrating to watch and caused delays which I’m sure cost easyJet more in the long run rather that automatically allocating families with minors seats together automatically.

Staff had been really impolite at the boarding area and for both ways charged high extra fees without a reason. For the check-in luggage which was measured 3.5 kg and was confirmed by the stuff to cost 40 € , 60 Euros had been purchased from our credit card. When confronted staff did call us both liars and claimed to never have announced anything. Flight back , when not wanting to press a backpack in a measuring metal instead of hand measuring , staff got angry that one did not follow her order, which was than escalated by the team. Although carrying a baby anyways staff did not offer any help in the unreasonable process and than charged again extra money. Cabine crew has been friendly but this experience LL lead to not booking easy jet at all in the future. Check in process in Edinburgh anyways chaotic,to the family check-in and disabled check-in everybody else was guided for check in process, so people just getting in between each other, not possible to monitor your own stuff.

I had an emergency escape seat. The attendant gave the extrA briefing to my side of the aisle but didnt direct it at all to the other where my wife was sitting

Trip was completely cancelled with no other reasonable option for that day; no reason given. I will avoid booking anything with easy jet

The flight boarded a little late but made up the time in flight - much appreciated. The staff were efficient and fairly friendly One of the toilets wasn’t working - having only one functioning toilet for a flight of hundreds isn’t really acceptable. I still find it amazing that the budget airlines can’t even offer free tap water to passengers.

What can you say Ryanair get you there,no frills Not so cheap anymore ..... but what is now days! Would use again as always. Good flight times for us.

Perfect timing, perfect departure, lovely crew on the ground and in the air.

3 hours delay, non comunicated until past the time of original boarding, no assistance, witnessed land crew shouting at a passenger

Everything’s went straight forward, no issues, good service and friendly crew

Letting people wait outside for boarding in the rain and almost 0 degrees for a high temperature destination is very customer unfriendly

Late again rude staff at gate bullying passengers made us stand in the cold 3degrees for 40 mins before they let us board

Largas colas para el check-in, por seguridad, sin explicación, el equipaje de mano pequeño tuvo que pasar a bodega,

Enjoyed our flight with Ryanair to Arrecife. Flight boarded pretty much on time, crew were welcoming and very good. Generally good for a frequent low cost flight, Seats could however have been more comfortable.

Toulouse Alicante, excellent. But the 2 next fligth by Air Europa canceled. Bad bad

I wouldn't like to fly with them anymore, I don't like their service, you can hardly take carry-on luggage because they charge you for everything, you can't ask for a glass of water, and the flight attendant tells you that they don't have any, that you have to Paying 3 euros for a bottle of water horrible, I don't recommend it, and they don't have anything low cost, because the plane ticket may not be expensive but what they charge you later for the rest, the flight becomes more expensive, it's the only airline that I don't like it so far, and I traveled a lot.
