A partner of Barcelona Tourisme, Barcelona.de is a company that was founded in 1997 with the objective of making everyone’s trip to Barcelona the most pleasant and fulfilling possible. They do so by providing information about the city, answering travelers’ questions, offering tours, and more. Let’s get a deeper look into all of the ways in which Barcelona.de can help your trip to Barcelona go smoothly.

First step: Travel information

The first thing you should do if you are planning on visiting Barcelona is to try and find out some basic information about how things work in the city. In the Travel Information section of Barcelona.de, you will discover what is the best time of year to visit the city, what kind of costs you should expect, and have a good idea of what should be visited, how public transportation works and useful information in case you are traveling with a disabled person.

Through Barcelona.de you can search for the hotel that best suits your taste. 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 transfercar 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.

Step four: Choosing what to visit

Visit their Attractions section on the website to know what sites to visit or, if you prefer to have someone tell you about the history of the city, hire one of their many offered tours, by foot, by bike, by segway, by GoCar, by boat, or by jet ski.

Through Barcelona.de you can also purchase cards that give you discounts on visits to certain monuments, like the Barcelona Card, the Barcelona Card Express, the Articket Barcelona, and tickets to a variety of sites such as Poble Espanyol and the FC Barcelona Museum (Camp Nou Experience).
