Wanted to leave some feedback here—I booked a place in Clot based on this guide, and would not do so again. It will NOT save you time on race day—the train fills up completely before it gets to you. It’s not convenient to trains, the Sagales bus, or to the bars and restaurants where people like to meet up after leaving the track. I ended up opting for the Sagales bus after the first day. If you decide to go for the train, stay closer to the center and board at Passeig de Gracia.

For just three days, I’d personally choose to stay in the centre of Barcelona. Best way to get to the track is either the train or the Sagales bus. More info here: https://f1destinations.com/getting-around-spanish-f1-grand-prix/

In reply to COURTNEY. Do you mean Lloret de Mar? This is a good place to stay, nice beach, restaurants etc and you have direct buses daily from there to the circuit and back with Sagales. You can also hire a car and drive to the circuit, get parking.

In reply to Joan Calderbank. Hi Joan, you have all the information about getting around in this post. You can take either the Metro (3 EUR) or Aerobus (7 EUR) from the airport to the city. Depending on how long you are staying, I recommend the Hola BCN travel card, which gives you unlimited rides on public transport for 2,3,4 or 5 days. But you need to buy different tickets if you are going to take the train to the circuit and back each day.

In reply to Lefentse Makhudu. I like to stay in the centre of Barcelona, as there's always so much to do when you are not at the track. Lots of hotels and apartments to choose from. I guess an apartment will be better for you with a young child and nanny. I have used this company before and the apartment was nice, good communication as well. Otherwise, you may consider staying in a resort on the Costa Brava. Lots of good places to stay in Blanes and Lloret de Mar, for example.

Hello,

Any recommendations where to look for accommodation if we’re traveling with a 2 year old toddler and a nanny.

Whether hotel or self catering houses. We’re open to suggestions.

Thank you

Hi Vicki, It's just under 30km (19 miles). Lots more information in our Getting Around post for the Spanish Grand Prix. I'd personally choose to stay in the centre, near La Rambla, as Barcelona is such a cool city to experience. You have several options. Best is to walk from La Rambla to Passeig de Gracia train station (about 15 minutes) and from there you have a direct train to Montmelo - at the other end, you can walk (30-40 mins) or take a taxi (10 EUR) or a local bus. There's also bus services from central Barcelona, or you can take a taxi.
