Barcelona Flight Guide

Barcelona, the capital of the province of Catalonia, is located on the north-east Mediterranean coast of Spain. In addition to huge shopping malls and clubs, Barcelona has more than 50 museums and a huge number of cultural attractions. The different facets and the fusion between the old and new make the city of Barcelona a very special travel destination.

Tourists in Barcelona should not be surprised if they are stuck with their Spanish because the language spoken in Barcelona is Catalan. But with its friendly and open-minded people, communication is made easy by using hands and feet! Barcelona’s nightlife is full of surprises and features a range of extraordinary pubs and bars.
The individual districts and areas of Barcelona all have their own unique identity and character. Particularly striking are the very unusual road layouts of the various neighbourhoods with very special architectural features. The districts have their own personal street life and have a charming flair that make a simple stroll an artistic adventure. Many buildings of historical significance are a must for all culturally interested travellers, such as the on-going Cathedral Square of Light (Placa de la Seu) and Park Güell, designed by the architect Antoni Gaudi, where exotic rock formations and structures spoil the visitor's eye.

Summer in Barcelona can get very hot with temperatures over 30°C. Travellers who prefer a milder climate should visit in spring or autumn (April, May, October and November) to avoid the heat and high-season crowds. Whether you opt for a luxury hotel or for a cheaper option, Barcelona has something suitable for everyone. An insider tip is the 3- star Hotel Suizo which is located in the heart of Barcelona and received positive reviews due to its excellent bar and friendly staff.
Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne airports offer flights to Barcelona with Qantas and British Airways. The flight duration varies depending on stops and connecting flights, but it most likely will take no less than 23 hours.
