Barcelona truly is a city with a million and one things to do, see, and experience. If you’ve got the time, however, I highly recommend exploring a bit off of the beaten path and seeing what else the city and surrounding areas have to offer, and
Whether you’re on an extended stay vacation, looking to travel a bit differently, or simply want to see what to do on a free weekend as a Barcelona resident, this article is for you. From a day spent sailing the Mediterranean, to hiking around lush national parks and inactive volcanos, to skiing high in the Pyrenees, there’s really no end to your options for day trips from Barcelona! Listed below are some of my favorites, complete with travel tips and what to expect.
Top 20 Barcelona Days Trips
It’s with great pleasure that I present to you my list of the best 20 days trip from Barcelona! Take a look, let me know what you think, and get out there and explore! And also, be sure to read my detailed 2 Days in Barcelona Itinerary & Travel Guide for more trip-planning inspiration!
1) MONTSERRAT
Perhaps the most well-known day trips from Barcelona (and for good reason), Montserrat is a spectacular Benedictine monk mountain retreat located about an hour northwest of the city by car or bus. Not only is the Montserrat Monastery of significant religious importance, but the natural beauty and unique rock formations of the mountain itself are simply breathtaking.
Montserrat (meaning “serrated mountain” in Catalan) is Spain’s first National Park, and is full of hiking trails, wildlife, and unique vegetation. The highest peak is Sant Jeroni, which stands at 1,236 meters (4,055 feet) above sea-level. The trails are easily accessible by foot or funicular, and I definitely recommend taking the “Aeri” (cable car) from the base station to the mountain’s main plaza for an incredible view. There, you’ll find a museum, cafeteria, hotel, and an impressive Gothic Basilica which houses the famous Black Madonna. Overall though, this is a nature destination. Dress comfortably and pack a lunch!
Pro tip: Arrive EARLY! Make your departure first thing in the morning – I would try to arrive to Montserrat no later than 11am. This gives you the full day to explore before the final cable car and train departures, and you can even see the famous Monsterrat Boys’ Choir sing at 1:00pm.
How to get there: Montserrat is easily accessible by car or bus and many companies offer some stellar tours. If you’re into blazing your own trail, I would highly recommend taking the R5 train from Plaça Espanya. It’s fast, easy, and you can plan your day without the constraints of group travel. Check out this great site for detailed instructions on how to arrive to Montserrat from Barcelona by train.
2) Cardona Castle
Located about an hour’s drive from downtown Barcelona is a small town called Cardona. While the destination itself may not be all that exciting, Cardona Castle sits atop the highest hill in the region, and is absolutely worth a visit! I ended up spending the night here in this castle during my road-trip through Northern Spain, and couldn’t believe they converted this castle into a hotel!
Cardona castle was built in 886 A.D and is now a recognized UNESCO world heritage site. The views you’ll get of the surrounding area are truly stunning, and if you’ve got more than a day-trip, I’d recommend booking a night to sleep in this castle!
The hotel chain is PARADOR (owned by the Spanish government), and they’ve got a few castle properties spread around the country. One night will only cost around $120 USD, and the food served here in the majestic dining hall restaurant is delicious! Even if you don’t spend an evening here, a visit to Cardona castle was one of my highlights from my recent trip to Spain, and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Barcelona soon!
3) SITGES
Located just 45 minutes from Barcelona is the sunny seaside city of Sitges. Easily accessible from Barcelona by train or car, Sitges is world renowned for its beautiful beaches, its October film festival, and one of the most raucous Carnaval celebration in all of Europe, which happens in February. It also perhaps one of the most LGBT friendly cities in Spain, has a quaint yet culturally rich vibe about it, and boasts an abundance of restaurant and nightlife options. All of this adds up to Sitges being a phenomenal choice for a vacation – or even just a day trip from Barcelona! Stroll along the seafront, soak up the Spanish sun, and try some local cuisine. You won’t regret it!
My favorite thing to do here: Hit the beach! It’s a breath of fresh air from the crowded beaches of Barcelona, and you can’t beat the view.
How to get there: Take the C2 train from Barcelona (final destination will either be Vilanova i la Geltru or St. Vincenç), departing from Franca, Passeig de Gràcia, or Estaciò Sants. A return ticket costs €7.20 and can be purchased at the station or through the official RENFE site. I recommend checking the final train times through RENFE, and taking a look at this site for detailed info on how to arrive to Sitges from Barcelona by train.
Alternative option: Castelldefells is another great choice on the same train route from Barcelona. It has a wider beach than Barcelona or Sitges and is absolutely perfect for any day trippers interested in kite surfing.
4) CODORNÍU
Fancy yourself a cava connoisseur? A lovely option for an alcohol-infused day trip from Barcelona is to visit the Codorníu Winery. Codorníu is the oldest cava producer in Spain, and by volume the second largest. Cava is to Catalonia as Prosecco is to Italy or Champagne is to France. Cavas Codorníu is a modernist masterpiece – the grounds and architecture themselves are more than enough reason to visit this Catalan jewel. But let’s be real – you’re here for the high quality cava!
Located less than one hour from Barcelona by car, I recommend visiting Codorníu for any foodies and wine enthusiasts. The tours offered by the winery range from basic and affordable public tours and tastings to luxurious meals, aperitifs, and private samplings of the finest sparkling wine that the country has to offer. Organize your tour of choice through Codorníu’s official website,
Pro tip: Pair this day trip from Barcelona with a visit to Montserrat, making for a full day of Catalan culture. I’d recommend ending this day with a great meal and well-deserved sleep.
Why I love this day trip: The cava, obviously! But I do have to mention that the tour guides here have an absolute wealth of knowledge and make for an engaging experience as you make your way down to the musty and mysterious cellars of the entire operation. You’ll leave this experience with some knowledge, a souvenir bottle of cava or two, and likely a little tipsy.
How to get there: If possible, I recommend a private tour as it will make the experience seamless. However, I’ve recently become aware that TMB (Barcelona Metropolitan Transportation) offers a cheap (€4 each way) and convenient bus service to Codorníu and the nearby town of Sant Sadurní. Check out all necessary info on that here.
5) EL PENEDÈS WINE REGION
Landscape with vineyards in Penedes ,Catalonia,Spain.
Wine and food enthusiasts rejoice! Traveling south of Barcelona and past Sitges, you’ll find yourself in one of the oldest wine-producing regions in Europe. Over 300 wineries occupy the region of Alt Penedès, and while its perhaps lesser known than the northern La Rioja region, this area produces the finest sparkling wine in all of Spain. From wonderful wine tastings, to elegant gastronomic adventures, to simply touring some of the modernist architecture of various local wineries, El Penedès is perfect for a one-day jaunt from Barcelona.
How to get there: Take the R4 train from Barcelona 40km south of Barcelnoa to Vilafranca del Pendedès or Sant Sadurní d’Anoia. More info is available here. You can also book a private tour to make your day touring wineries as stress free as can be.
6) GIRONA
Colorful houses and Eiffel bridge in Girona, in a beautiful summer day, Catalonia, Spain
Medieval Girona, as little as 38 minutes from Barcelona on the RENFE train, is a wonderful addition to any travel itinerary and functions phenomenally as a day trip from Barcelona. You may recognize the Girona Cathedral as the Sept of Baelor from Game of Thrones! Much of the show was shot here, and once you wander around the 9th century Roman wall or the winding streets of the Jewish quarter (one of the best preserved in all of Europe) it’s easy to see why! If you’re looking for a leisurely day spent strolling serpentine Spanish streets, a day trip from Barcelona to Girona is for you. Take in the city, walk by the river, and have yourself some tapas or a menu del día. There are several organized tours to Girona for all kinds of travelers as well.
Pro tip: If you happen to be here in early May, you can’t miss the flower festival! Entire streets become elaborate art installments, and with the pervasive and exhilarating aroma of fresh flowers all around the city, it truly makes for a magical memory.
How to get there: The high-speed AVE train is run by Renfe and will take you from Barcelona Sants Station to Girona in roughly 38 minutes. Depending on the time of day, tickets are between €11.25 and €31.70 each way. You can also take the cheaper regional train for less than €10 each way. Check times on renfe.com, but you may need to buy the regional trains at the kiosks inside the station as they’re sometimes not available online.
Alternative/additional option: Add Besalú, a charming medieval hidden gem, to your day touring Girona. I recommend renting a car for easy travel between the two. It’s certainly off the beaten path, which grants it the mystique that lesser known European villages seem to hold. Touring the cobblestone streets, walking river, seeing the ancient Roman ruins, and exploring the surprisingly quality museums and restaurants of the area make for a great afternoon.
7) FIGUERES
Salvador Dali museum in Figueras, Spain
Salvador Dalí is perhaps the most famous figures in modern Spanish history, if not one of the most famous in the art world as a whole. The surrealist pioneer’s birthplace is Figueres, located roughly 2 hours by train from Barcelona. The main attraction here is a masterpiece of a museum dedicated to the life and works of Dalí, which truly is one of the strangest and most intriguing museums I’ve ever experienced. In fact, Salvador Dalí himself is buried here in the crypt! This is must-see for any art fan.
I recommend taking no less than 2 hours to explore the various famous paintings and life size art installations that are sure to captivate your creative side. To be honest, you could spend all day here! Attached to the museum is also a wonderful exhibit showcasing the elaborately expensive jewelry that Salvador Dalí designed – definitely recommend.
Figueres is a sleepy town aside from the museum and is perfect for a day trip. You could also plan a whole vacation around Figueres/the Dalí museum, and other nearby Costa Brava attractions such as Cadaqués (an absolute gem which I’ll explain further down), and Porta Lligat (where you can actually tour Dalí’s house and really get a feel for who the man was).
How to arrive: Take the train or perhaps a guided tour. Important to note is that there are two railway stations in Figueres. The older one, simply called “Figueres,” is located in the center of town and is about a 15-minute walk from the museum. Tickets will cost €12-16 each way on the slower regional train. The newer station, “Figueres-Vilafant,” is located about 2km from the Figueres town center. The high-speed AVE trains runs here, and tickets are around €20-40 each way. However, be warned that you’ll need to get a taxi to and from this station.
8) COSTA BRAVA IN GENERAL
In my opinion, Costa Brava has the most beautiful beaches within comfortable train or driving distance from Barcelona. Geographically, Costa Brava spans from the town of Blanes all the way north to the French border. The “Brave Coast” is home to come of Spain’s most captivating coastlines and some of its most glorious gastronomy. I could write an entire article on each of my favorite places in this stretch of rugged and lush sunny shores, but for this guide’s sake I’ll be listing a few notable must-sees below. Think of this as a list-within-a-list. Listception!
Quick note: Figueres, mentioned above, is a fantastic addition to any Costa Brava excursion! Inland Girona and Besalú are also doable as they’re in the same region, although my inclination is to focus on the beaches when I go to Costa Brava.
My favorite Costa Brava getaways and day trips from Barcelona:
- Cadaqués – Tucked into a bay in the Cap de Creus peninsula, Cadaqués is perhaps the prettiest little town in the country. Whitewashed buildings stretch across a deep blue coastline, and the French influence here lends to a fantastic mix of cuisine and culture. Nearby (walking distance, in fact) is Port Lligat. There you can find Salvador Dalí’s house, which has been turned into a striking and surreal museum.
- How to get there: Cadaqués doesn’t have a train station, so you’ll need to either drive or take the Alsa bus from Barcelona.
Beach at Tossa de Mar and fortress in a beautiful summer day, Costa Brava, Catalonia, Spain
- Tossa del Mar – Located equidistant 100km from both Barcelona as well as the French border, Tossa is a not-so-hidden gem (as the growing tourist crowds in summer would tell you). Less frequented than nearby noisy Lloret, Tossa has everything from an ancient walled Old Town, to spectacular beaches and inlets and oftentimes music festivals in the summer! This town, to keep it short, is flat out beautiful. Take a tour of nearby caves and make a stop at Cala Giverola. If you’ve got the time, go for a hike.
- How to get there: Like many Costa Brava locations, you’ll have to either drive or take the Alsa bus from Barcelona’s Estaciò Nord.
- Sant Pol del Mar – a great choice in order to experience the more picturesque and less populated beaches outside of Barcelona. I would recommend hitting a xiringuito (beach bar) for a caña (small beer) or tinto de verano (“summer wine” similar to sangria) alongside tapas, or if you’ve got a bigger appetite seek out a paella.
- How to get there: Accessible by taking the R1 train from Barcelona.
- Port de La Selva – a bit quieter than other Costa Brava locations due to its inaccessibility by train, Port de la Selva is a relaxing fisherman’s town perfect for those seeking nature, a romantic getaway, or simply experiencing something beautiful and different. Hire a boat to visit nearby hidden calas, and don’t miss the view from the Monestario de Sant Pere de Rodes.
- How to get there: Accessible by a 2-hour ride on the Alsa bus from Barcelona.
- Lloret delMar – the liveliest of all Costa Brava destinations, Lloret is a bit overrun with tourists. However, that’s due to the wild nightlife and stunning beaches. This is the spot for you like lively destinations with sandy shores.
- How to get there: Take the Alsa bus from Barcelona’s Estaciò Nord.
9) TARRAGONA
View of the village Siurana de Prades, Tarragona, Spain.
Traveling an hour south from Barcelona by car or train will land you in Tarragona, a port city famous for its ancient Roman ruins (most notable, the Amfiteatre Romà). The Roman Amphitheatre is definitely the draw for this day trip, and I can safely say that it’s worth the journey! Spend your day exploring tombs, an ancient chariot track, and other relics of a bygone era. Oh, and the beach isn’t too shabby here either!
How to get there: Take the train! The AVE high speed train will get you there in no more than half an hour and cost roughly €20. The slower regional train will be cheaper. Check renfe.com for times.
10) PORTAVENTURA
PortAventura is a massive them park and resort located in Salou, a town on Spain’s Costa Daurada just over an hour by train or car south of Barcelona. It’s easily accessible by car or train, making it a convenient day trip from the hustle and bustle of Barcelona. I wouldn’t call spending the day riding rollercoasters necessarily relaxing (Ferrari Land boasts the Red Force – Europe’s tallest and fastest roller coaster), but if theme parks are your thing then this is the perfect adventure for you! Great for families and thrill-seekers alike.
How to get there: Check out the park’s official website, which has detailed instructions on how to arrive and other important info such as online tickets.
11) HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE
Full disclosure, I have a mild (okay, maybe moderate maybe actually serious) fear of heights. That being said, one of the COOLEST day trips I’ve ever done was taking an early morning hot air balloon ride just outside of Barcelona. We spent over an hour soaring high above the Montseny Natural Park. I could even see the Barcelona skyline and the Pyrenees Mountains in the distance! The most surprising thing for me was how smooth the whole experience was. We floated up to a height of roughly 1km from the ground, and the basket hardly even swayed in the wind.
I recommend booking a tour through Ballooning. They take care of everything! The rides are intimate, typically between 2 and 8 passengers accompanied by a seasoned pilot. Pick/up drop-off from central Barcelona is also available, making your trip a breeze.
12) SKY DIVING
Another option for thrill-seeking day trippers is skydiving. If you think Barcelona and its coastline are breathtaking from the ground, wait till you see them from 4,000 meters up! Empuriabrava, just 2 hours from Barcelona by car, is located in the Golf de Roses in Costa Brava. Aside from its beautiful beaches and sunny shores, it’s also known for skydiving. Companies like Skydive Empuriabrava offer one-of-a-kind skydiving experiences starting as low aa €250. You’ll climb a few thousand meters up in a small airplane, then freefall from 1,500 meters for around 5 minutes as your adrenaline is pumping and you get a literal bird’s eye view of one of the world’s most visually stunning coastal areas!
13) HELICOPTER TOUR
Experience the magic of Barcelona from the sky! Ranging in duration from 6-40 minutes (and priced from €79-€455 per person depending on the tour), you can charter a helicopter to take you for an enthralling aerial experience across the city’s most famous monuments, and even as far as Montserrat should your desire and wallet allow it. How many people can say they’ve flow in a helicopter across one of the world’s most enchanting locations?
Check out CatHelicopters to book, and don’t forget your camera! You’ll absolutely want to document this daring adventure.
14) ANDORRA, THE PYRENEES PARADISE
Andorra is a magical and mountainous independent principality tucked between Spain and France in the Pyrenees mountains. Its most well-known for the best skiing in the Iberian Peninsula, as well as its duty-free shopping as a result of its tax haven status. While there are numerous outdoor activities, spectacular sweeping views, and of course duty-free shopping all year round, I would recommend a trip in the winter. The biggest draw here are the ski resorts, and for good reason. Compared to resorts in the United States, or the nearby Alps, a day on the slopes in Andorra is CHEAP. The country is otherwise lovely visually, but winter sports are the primary reason to visit.
I would recommend a weekend if possible (companies like Estiber have very cheap all inclusive packages), but if you’re itching for quick day trip to ski or snowboard it is absolutely possible (albeit rushed) from Barcelona if you depart before sunrise! Renting a car can be less than $30 per day, and your board or ski rental will be about the same price, believe it or not. The trip will take about 3 hours each way. You’ll want to head straight to the ski station to maximize your time, which is located in Arinsal.
Pro tip: You can rent ski/snowboard gear and boots for cheap, but you’ll want to pack your own pants/coat/hat/etc. These can be bought for cheap at Decatlon in Barcelona if necessary.
Alternative option: Don’t fancy a long drive to play in the powder? Take a day trip to the closer La Molina ski resort in the Catalan Pyrenees. It’s about an hour closer, and this tour package includes everything necessary to make your trip a breeze.
15) BETTER BEACHES BY BICYCLE (OR TRAIN)
Let’s face it. The beaches in central Barcelona can get way too packed with tourists during the peak summer months. It can be a total damper on a sunny day by the sea if there’s nowhere to lay your towel and the roaming vendors won’t stop bugging you. In case you didn’t know, though, there are a million other beaches to check out both north and south of the city!
One of my favorite day trips to do on the cheap is to take a bicycle (rentals can be found for €10 per day at most bicycle rental shops) or the R1 train (go here to check timetables) up the coast. By bicycle, you can reach the less populated beaches of Montgat or Masnou in about one hour. By train you can use your Zone 1 metro card to go as far as Montgat Nord. From Masnou and beyond, you’ll need to purchase separate train tickets.
Pro tip: Enjoy some cava and calamares at a Xiringuito (beach bar). You’ll find a few dotted around the beaches and near the train stations in the warmer months of the year. Another options is going for an affordable paella with a view at Resaurante Palomares in Vilassar del Mar. Further up the coast you’ll find Mataró, which is also perfect for paella by the sea.
16) SPEND A DAY AT SEA
Everyone could use a little more vitamin sea in their lives, right? Being a vibrant port city, Barcelona is certainly not short on options for boat tours and day trips. Its iconic skyline is one that many people haven’t seen first-hand from a few hundred meters out on the water. Believe me, its breathtaking!
From hour-long sunset cruises to daylong private tours finishing with dinner and a bottle of cava, you can find the Barcelona boat tour that suits you best.
Pro tip: The city is pretty, but the coast has the most. Most spectacular views, that is! Check out day trips at sea for Costa Brava here. Depending on how much time you have to spend on your maritime adventure, I recommend choosing one of these if you want to see a bit more varied landscape and a few hidden calas (inlets).
17) MONTSENY NATURAL PARK
Parc Natural de Montseny is located roughly 50km north of Barcelona, was designated as a UNESCO protected biosphere reserve in 1978, and later declared a natural park by the Catalan government in 1987. It’s easy to get to by train or car, making it the perfect day trip for nature-minded travelers looking for fresh air activities outside of Barcelona. There are a wide array of trails and sites to visit (including Roman ruins), making this a great day trip for anyone from families and inexperienced hikers to those looking for more intermediate to engaging trekking options.
For those looking to summit the Montseny Massif mountain range, I suggest planning your day around hiking to either Les Agudes peak (1703m) for the best view of the Pyrenees, or Matagalls peak (1693m) for what most would call the prettiest hike in the region. Turó de l’Home (1707m) is the highest in the range but is easily accessible by car; the journey and view are both better at the previous two peaks mentioned.
Pro tip: The climate can drastically change from starting your hike to reaching higher altitude. Dress in layers, wear appropriate footwear, and pack snacks and water!
How to get there: If possible, get a group of friends together and rent a car on the cheap! Tourisme Montseny also has a detailed page on how to arrive by various means of public and private transportation. Check out it out here.
18) LA GARROTXA VOLCANIC ZONE NATURAL PARK
La Garrotxa Natural Park, located about two hours from Barcelona, is a volcanic zone in northeastern Spain. There are about 40 inactive volcanoes in the area, and the last eruption took place over 11,000 years ago. If you’re up for easy to moderate walking trails and appreciate a bit of geology with your hikes, La Garrotxa is for you! The name translates to “rough, uneven land.” The lush green pastureland that now covers the park and surrounding towns rests on top of ancient lava fields and conical remnants of the inactive volcanoes.
The best place for starting your day here is Olot, most easily accessible by car. From here, there are various walking paths to the park’s most interesting sites.
19) CARRETERA DE LES AIGÜES
High above Barcelona in the hills of the Collserola mountain range are various hiking and biking trails, one of the most well-known being the Carretera de les Aigües. If you’re looking for a day trip from Barcelona without really leaving Barcelona, this is the perfect excursion for you. The trail gets its name from the pipes that used to run along it and provide the city with fresh water; it’s nearly 10km long and in general is a very flat trail aside from some more intermediate-level offshoots to higher viewpoints. It’s a fairly simple path and easy to reach by public transport; while that may make for busier trails if you don’t arrive early in the morning, the sweeping views of Barcelona and out to the Mediterranean make this the perfect morning or afternoon excursion from Barcelona.
How to get there: There are various ways to reach the Carretera de les Aigües depending on the desired length of your hike. You can reach the trailhead by taking the S1 or S3 train (Rodalies de Catalunya) from Plaça Catalunya to Peu de Funicular. From there, take the Funicular de Vallvidrera to Carreterra de les Aigües. For a longer hike, take the train to the La Floresta station and start form there.

20) MONT REBEI
Landscape in Congost de Mont-rebei , Spain
Catalunya, for such a small region, is so rich and diverse in landscape that its almost unbelievable. Mont-Rebei, roughly 3 hours inland from Barcelona, is a shining example of the natural beauty of the area and is a stellar option for a weekend in nature. If you’re short on time, however, a day trip is absolutely doable! From kayaking to boat tours to hiking the precarious trails high above the famous gorge, this place is a nature-lover’s delight. Be sure to wear comfortable hiking or athletic footwear and arrive first thing in the morning so as to give yourself the entire day to hike and explore the area before heading back to Barcelona in the evening. There are multiple trails of varying intensity, length, and height (some trails zig-zag along man-made walkways on the side of the 500m high gorge).
How to get there: The area is most easily accessed by car, with the best place enter being near the Pont de Montanya. The Dipuctaciò de Lleida, the government of the local region of Lleida, has a detailed page on Mont-Rebei here.

Final Thoughts on Barcelona Day Trips
Spain is truly one of the best countries in the world, and it’s filled with hidden gems all over the place, especially near Barcelona. So while it may be difficult to escape the thriving Catalan capital city, I do think it’s worth venturing out for a day and seeing a different side of what makes Barcelona so special!
Spain is at the top of our travel list once travel goes back to normal (or the new-norm), so finding this post was perfect. So many ideas and cool places to visit. In particular, Costa Bravo and Andorra look like must dos. Thanks for the info
