How to get to Barcelona

So many different ways to reach Barcelona, no wonder when we’re talking about the second largest city in Spain and Catalonia’s capital. A cheap Barcelona car hire will be the best choice when visiting Barcelona from within Spain.

Most tourists arrive to Barcelona by plane, at the Barcelona International Airport, perhaps the major traffic hub serving flights from all over Europe and other destinations. Located a few 10 km from downtown Barcelona, a rental car in Barcelona Airport can take you right there in just a few minutes.

Ryaniar, as well as other low-cost providers use the airports in Girona, which is situated 100 km north of Barcelona, or think of Reus, near an equal distance, but to the south. These two airports should have great budget solutions for travelers. Fly directly into them with the peace of mind that comes when you know your Barcelona hire car is waiting right there for your arrival.

With Barcelona as part of your Eurotour you also have the option to arrive by train. Daily, several units come and go, some even service overnight, arriving to Barcelona from every top European location. The Barcelona-Sants is one of the main stations in the city, to the south west of downtown. There’s Barcelona-Estació de França as well, located next to the seafront district of Barceloneta, on the edge of the old town.

Barcelona’s harbor is considered to be one of the busiest on the Mediterranean. Supporting both cruise ships and Ferries, it makes possible for visitors to arrive to Barcelona by boat from the Balearic Islands, Genoa, and even Rome. Traveling by boat can be cheaper than the bus when coming from Rome. However, with a Barcelona car hire you can be sure to experience all of it without having to rely on public transportation. Or opt to have it waiting for you where the ferry docks on the Ramblas.
