A lively metropolis with a unique urban flair and impressive cultural highlights. Welcome to Barcelona. Discover this holiday destination in a hire car. Barcelona Airport (BCN) is the starting point for exciting excursions.
The capital of Catalonia is one of the most diverse cities in the country: from the surreal buildings of the architect Gaudí and the “crystal finger” of Torre Agbar, to hip districts like Gràcia. In other words, a great backdrop for city tours in a TUI Cars hire car – pick up your hire car at Barcelona Airport when you arrive.

An unforgettable trip in a hire car takes you to the Benedictine abbey of Santa Maria de Montserrat, and the journey there is equally memorable, winding up countless serpentines to a height of 1,236 metres. Barcelona Airport is about 50 km away, so you should factor in a one-hour drive. You can marvel at the ancient walls, admire the Black Madonna, and take in the majestic rock formations and the impressive vista of Barcelona in the distance. If you book a hire car for picking up Barcelona Airport, there are also other attractive destinations in the wider area, such as Figueras, where Salvador-Dalí lived and worked, or Lloret de Mar.

Do you really need a hire car in Barcelona? Barcelona Airport is the point of arrival for most visitors, so from here a hire car is ideal for reaching your hotel or starting a tour in the surroundings. However, if you want to explore the busy downtown district, in view of the clogged streets it is better to use the metro network than a hire car. If you are traveling from the car rental station at Barcelona Airport to the surrounding destinations, don’t forget the toll charges on most of the motorways.
