Travel Guidance
Passports
Passports must not expire within 3 months after your departure date from Spain at a minimum and 6 months after your departure date from Spain (recommended). If your passport is expiring on/before September 2025, you need to get a move on. Expedited services are available for ~$200 and still take 2-3 weeks.
Timing
Generally, international travel is best booked about 4-6 months before departure or December-February. If you’re trying to get a deal, put a price alert on and be patient. Prices will likely drop by then and there should still be enough availability to have good options.
Airlines
- Iberia: This is the standard no-frills-I-just-wanna-go-to-Spain option. Think Southwest.
- LEVEL: An operating partner of Iberia, but even more budget. Their customer service isn't great if things go wrong (flights cancel/delay etc), so steer clear of them if you can help it.
- American/BA/Delta: Usually a bit pricier but with more amenities.
Hotels
We have three hotel recommendations.
You don't have to stay at these locations, but we do recommend staying within Eixample.
Heads Up: F1 Race
There is an F1 race in Barcelona the weekend following the wedding (May 30 - June 1) which will put a strain on flights and accommodations at that time. If you're into F1 and want to go to the race, great! If not, we'd recommend planning extra time in Barcelona before the wedding.
Stopovers
While Barcelona could keep us entertained forever, there are lots of great trips to spend more time in the area if you're looking to add another destination to your trip. Perhaps you want to escape the F1 crowds and spend the weekend fishing in the Pyrenees, or you'd love to fit in some snorkeling in Mallorca, or find the best Basque cheesecake in San Sebastian. Adrienne and I have spent a lot of time traveling throughout Spain and are happy to give some recommendations.
Cars
Stopovers Cars There's no need to rent a car while in Barcelona. It's a very walkable city with a great subway system. We will provide transportation to and from the wedding venue which is in the mountains outside of the city.
Children
Due to our venue location and wedding schedule, we are unable to accomodate young children during our wedding or reception. We'd love to see your little ones at the before-and-after events and recognize that a trip to Barcelona is an opportunity for a family vacation.
We are happy to help you plan suitable accomodations, including babysitters, advice on other aspects of your travel, etc.
