Fly from Nice to Barcelona

for a weekend in the city of Gaudí

Jet off to Catalonia

Nice and Barcelona have the Mediterranean in common, with its sunshine and the kind of light that makes life brighter and happier, an invitation to sharing and pleasure. However, the Epicurean spirit on La Rambla has a different flavour to that of Nice. Your Nice-Barcelona flight will bring you a real change of scene, filled with festivity and conviviality. Enjoy Catalan tapas and embutidos, long Barcelona nights sparkling with cava, the fantastic works of Gaudí and Miró, and the old stones of the Gothic Quarter. Although the flight only takes an hour, Nice and Barcelona are, in some ways, worlds apart!

    Getting to the city centre

    • By bus, with the Aerobus, which runs every five to ten minutes from 06:00 to 01:00, towards Plaça de Catalunya, or for a cheaper but slower option, using the city buses: bus 46 (from both terminals) and at night, buses N16 (Terminal 1) and N17 (Terminal 2).
    • With train R2 (from Terminal 2 only), which runs to several stations in Barcelona, or using metro line L9S (you will need to change to get to the city centre).
    • By taxi or hire car. Most hire car companies have an office in each terminal.
