Brussels to Barcelona flights

Brussels to Barcelona flights land at Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) after about 2 hours 15 minutes. Flights depart from either Brussels Airport (BRU) or Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL), and non-stop flights run all year, about 65 a week.

In the last few days, travellers have booked tickets on eDreams for 20€, so it pays to compare dates if you can be flexible.

Brussels Airport (BRU) has a single terminal building, with arrivals and departures on separate levels. The airport is easily reached by the Airport Line bus 12 or by train from Brussels-Midi, Central and Nord stations to the airport station on Level -1. Rail connections also serve Etterbeek, Bruxelles-Schuman and Bruxelles-Luxembourg.

If your flight to Barcelona departs from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL), you can use the Brussels City Shuttle from the city centre. Alternatively, take a train to Charleroi-Central station and change to the local bus that runs directly to the airport. CRL is a popular choice for budget-conscious travellers, while Brussels Airport is closer to the city.

The fastest way from Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) to the centre is the Aerobús, which runs two lines, A1 and A2, stopping at Plaça de Catalunya, Sepúlveda-Urgell and Plaça d'Espanya.

Metro line L9 Sud links both terminals with the city's metro network. Rodalies line R2 Nord trains leave from the airport's railway station for Sants and Passeig de Gràcia, and a free shuttle bus links the two terminals.

A taxi is a direct option from the ranks outside the terminals, though travel times vary with city traffic. For a pre-booked alternative, private hire vehicles have designated pick-up points.

Barcelona is a Mediterranean city famous for the architecture of Antoni Gaudí, with the Sagrada Família as its most renowned landmark.

You can wander through the Parc de la Ciutadella or take in the hillside views from Montjuïc. Barcelona is compact enough to discover on foot, especially when hunting for tapas and vermouth in the Gothic Quarter. For live music, venues like Razzmatazz and Apolo define the local nightlife.
