As one of the largest cities in Spain and the capital of the unique region of Catalonia, Barcelona is an exceptional 24 hour city bursting with culture, fun and life. This special city is a favourite of Sixt's and we have a number of car hire branches at key locations which provide excellent service to ensure that your experience of Barcelona is outstanding. We have on-site car rental at Barcelona Airport in both Terminals 1 and 2, opposite the Barcelona Sants Train Station, on the iconic Rambla Catalunya and others across the city to provide a broad coverage ensuring convenient rental no matter how you arrive or depart and where you are staying. Our vehicle range is equally broad, featuring small city compacts, luxury saloons and sports cars as well as economy cars and family estates.
A city of culture, fun and intrigue, you can't help but fall in love with Barcelona. The city centre provides every entertainment and for those who prefer a quieter experience or outdoor pursuits, the surrounding area with the Llobregat and Besòs Rivers and Serra de Collserola mountain range provides tranquility or adventure in nature. With a heritage tracing back to Roman times, Barcelona is a city that has developed over many years and has a rich past to explore with an astounding number of UNESCO World Heritage Site declared buildings, including many in the atmospheric Gothic Quarter which can date back to medieval times, the Catalan modernista architecture and of course the inspiring Sagrada Família - a huge Roman Catholic church which began construction in 1882 and is still continuing to this day. Despite being unfinished, it has already been declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its magnificent display of architecture. Barcelona has a large number of parks and green spaces, many of which are as characteristic and unusual as the city's buildings such as Gaudi's Park Güell, another UNESCO World Heritage Site and which has fine views over the city. Named as the best city beach in the world, Barcelona's beachline of Sant Sebastià, Barceloneta and Somorrostro provides a care-free beach atmosphere right from stepping out of the historic city. To even begin to explore this huge city and the delectable Catalan region, driving is the best way to fit in all the sights and create a time-effective personalised tour and so car hire in Barcelona is a popular choice for many of the millions of tourists that flock here. And at Sixt we try to make it easy for you with our network of car rental branches and friendly staff who are always willing to help.
