How to Travel From London to Barcelona

[Eric T. Pilgrim]

Getting to Barcelona can be quite a challenge. There are a number of ways to get there, but the best is by plane. Getting there by train is also an option, but it's a bit long. There are a number of airlines that offer direct flights from London to Barcelona, including British Airways, EasyJet, Vueling and Ryanair.

For the most part, London to Barcelona flights take about two hours. Depending on which airline you choose, you may be able to get a ticket for free. However, you should book at least 80 days in advance to ensure a good flight. Booking in advance can also save you money. You should also check out the websites of the airlines you plan on booking with. Some of the partner airlines may also waive cancellation fees.

When it comes to trains, the Eurostar and TGV high-speed trains depart from London's King's Cross station. The TGV trains travel at 200 mph, while the Eurostar trains travel at 186 mph. It's also a good idea to allow an hour between trains.

While there are a number of airlines that offer direct London to Barcelona flights, you may also be able to take a connecting flight. These are typically cheaper than direct flights, but can be complicated if you're traveling in the evening. The best time to visit Barcelona is in the summer. There are also many tourist attractions to explore, including La Boqueria market, Gothic Quarters, Picasso Museum and Barcelona Cathedral.

Another good way to get to Barcelona is by bus. The quickest bus trip takes 22 hours and 25 minutes, but it can cost a bit more. If you're looking for an alternative to flying, you should check out the ALSA Rapid Bus, which takes passengers to a number of Spanish cities. These buses are generally more affordable than other options, and they're also available outside Terminal 1 at Barcelona International Airport. You can also take a local train to get to the city center in 20-30 minutes.

You may be surprised to find that a plane can actually get you to Barcelona quicker than the train, but it's not as convenient. Flights from London to Barcelona usually take two hours, though you can expect to pay around $215 to fill up your tank. You can also take a bus from London to Barcelona, but the trip will take about twenty-seven hours.

For the best travel options, check out ViaMichelin, which calculates the most efficient route between the two cities and provides the shortest route. You can also find hotels and accommodation bookings in all covered destinations, as well as restaurant recommendations.

You can also take a train to Barcelona from London King's Cross station, but it will take you ten hours and thirty-three minutes. The train will take you to Barcelona Sants station, which is centrally located. The Sants station is located just a few blocks away from Las Ramblas, Barcelona's popular shopping and dining district. It is also home to the Sagrada Familia, which was designed by Antoni Gaudi.
