Hotels in Barcelona

Staying in Barcelona

Barcelona combines a city break and a beach holiday in one. Admire Gaudí's Sagrada Família and Park Güell, get lost in the narrow lanes of the Gothic Quarter, and graze on tapas at La Boqueria before heading to Barceloneta for a swim. Evenings start late here, so pace yourself.

Flights from the UK take around two hours, with departures from London and a wide range of regional airports. To find cheap flights to Barcelona, try travelling midweek or in spring and autumn, when fares and hotel prices are often lower than in July and August. Book Sagrada Família tickets in advance, as they often sell out.

Best time to visit: May, June, September and October bring warm weather and comfortable sightseeing without the peak summer heat and crowds.
