Beyond strolling through its impressive streets, there are more exclusive and thrilling ways to discover Barcelona.
Imagine flying over the city in a helicopter, sailing its waters on a luxurious yacht, or cruising its most iconic avenues in a sporty, convertible car.
That’s why today we’re sharing several experiences that offer a unique perspective of the Catalan capital, allowing you to enjoy one of Europe’s most visited cities from truly unique points of view.
Exploring Barcelona from the Sky
One of the most impressive ways to see Barcelona is from the sky. A helicopter tour allows you to take in the city’s main landmarks in just a few minutes and from a privileged point of view. No one else will have photos like these!
How to do it?
Helicopter flights usually last between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on the chosen package. Some of the most popular routes and companies include:
- Barcelona Helicopters: offers flights over Barcelona, Montserrat, and nearby locations such as Tarragona and Girona. One of their most outstanding tours is the Barcelona & Montserrat Tour, which lasts 54 minutes.
What could you see? The rock formations of Montserrat, its famous monastery, and the iconic Sant Jeroni peak, surrounded by spectacular landscapes. Then, the aerial route takes you over Barcelona, where you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the Sagrada Familia, Tibidabo, Montjuïc, and the Mediterranean coastline.
Price: The Barcelona & Montserrat Tour starts at €1,100.
- Skytour BCN: This company offers helicopter flights over various areas of Barcelona, such as the coastline, on a route where you can admire the beach and the blue waters of the Mediterranean. You can also fly over Central Barcelona and Montserrat.
What could you see? Depending on the tour and route you choose, you’ll witness landscapes and landmarks from the air. For example, on the Barcelona Sky Tour route, you’ll see the Torre Glòries (formerly known as Torre Agbar) and the Sagrada Familia. Then, you’ll spot must-see tourist sites like Diagonal Avenue, Camp Nou, Plaça Espanya, Montjuïc, and the Olympic Park. All the essentials of Barcelona — but from a helicopter.
Price: The Barcelona Sky Tour starts at €166.
