Things to do in Barcelona while waiting for your cruise

The Port of Barcelona is the city’s main port. It is divided into several areas and stretches over a few kilometers, so it’s best to arrive at least three to four hours before your cruise.

If you arrive earlier than expected, you can enjoy many great nearby attractions. Here are a few tips to help you plan.

Arrived two hours early?

Mana 75 restaurant - a seafood spot with fresh ingredients delivered daily by local fishermen. Located right next to the port.

Sagrada Família - this famous church is the city’s most iconic landmark. Note that you need to book tickets in advance, although most visitors don’t go inside and instead admire the spectacular exterior.

Six hours before departure

La Rambla - Barcelona’s main boulevard, with cozy cafes, stylish boutiques and an international vibe.

Park Güell - a pleasant public park with many structures designed by the famous architect Antoni Gaudí.

A full day before departure:

Serras Hotel Barcelona - if you arrive early enough to spend a night or more in Barcelona, we recommend staying at the Serras, a five-star hotel with a relaxing rooftop, located near the port.
