Spain is an amazing sunny country, and many tourists return to this southern paradise again and again. One of the most popular and interesting cities for travelers is Barcelona. It is not surprising that in the season from June to August, the number of flights to Barcelona is the maximum, and even so, tickets should be purchased well in advance.
Flights Moscow - Barcelona
Good and the choice is big enough: there are direct flights from Moscow and with a transfer. And with a transfer (for example, in Kiev, Madrid, Warsaw) can be a little cheaper (from 16 000 RUB round trip). However, one should keep in mind that the journey time increases (from 6 hours, if, for example, a transfer in Kiev).
Direct flights take less time: only 4, 5 hours - and you are in Spain! Ticket prices depend on the airline and can vary significantly. Judge for yourself. From "Domodedovo" in low season, flies about 3 flights a day, round-trip ticket costs from 16 000 to 26 000 RUB. Flights are performed by Vueling and Iberia (combined) and Transaero. From Sheremetyevo there are 4 flights per day, the ticket price is from 17 000 RUB (Aeroflot, as you might guess) to 30 000 RUB.
How to get to the city center
International airport Barcelona El Prat is 10 km from the city center, you can get to the city directly by taxi (it will not be expensive), by the Aerobus Express bus or by train.
Aerobus leaves from the airport building every 12 minutes. Buses run from 6:00 am to 1:00 am. The ticket will cost about 7 EUR. Like the train, the bus makes three stops: Plaça Espanya, Gran Via / Urgell, Plaça Universitat. At night to Plaza España, take bus number 106, which leaves the airport every hour.
The train leaves the airport apron at the airport every 30 minutes from 6am to 12am. The ticket can be bought here at the ticket office or in special vending machines for 3 EUR, avoiding the queue. The trip will last about 25 minutes. The train makes three stops: Barcelona Sants, Passeig de Gracia and Clot. From here almost all metro lines and bus routes diverge.
Low cost airfare for flights to Barcelona
Flights St. Petersburg - Barcelona
Air travel is the fastest and most convenient way to get from St. Petersburg to Barcelona - one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. The distance from the northern capital to the capital of Catalonia is about 2800 km. The minimum time that will take to overcome this distance on an airplane is about 3, 5 hours, but if you get there with a transfer, the journey time can be more than a day. The average travel time is about 4 hours.
It is best to purchase tickets for direct flights. Airlines from Alitalia, KLM, Iberia, Lufthansa, Swiss and "State Customs Committee of Russia" are directly departing from St. Petersburg to Barcelona. Direct flights depart on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays. However, we recommend updating the information, as airlines can change the schedule of their planes.
