You can choose the number of stars you would like the hotel to have, determine if it should have WiFi, car parking, a swimming pool, etc. You can also determine the price range and the area of the city you would prefer to stay in. Make your search as personalized as you want and Barcelona.de will show the best choices for you.
Third step: Airport transfers
Barcelona’s El Prat airport is located on the outskirts of Barcelona, which means that you will need to take some form of transportation to get to the city center. Barcelona.de offers visitors the opportunity to choose from a variety of options, such as a private arrival transfer, an arrival sightseeing tour that leaves directly from the airport, an inner-city transfer, car rental, or even the purchase of a Hola BCN! multi-day ticket which will allow you to use multiple forms of public transportation. They also offer visitors the opportunity to book ferry boat trips to Mediterranean destinations, or the La Roca Villa Shopping Express experience, in which visitors are taken from the center of the city to a luxury outlet mall located 45 minutes away.
