The 4 Barcelona Ferry Trips That Earn Their Price

1.Helicopter Flight & Heliport Boat Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 423 reviews · 1 hour · from $159Our pick

Take a short helicopter flight above Barcelona’s coast, port, Old Town, Olympic Port, and Gaudí landmarks, then return with a flight video. The optional 15-minute boat transfer from Port Vell gives you a scenic start and avoids a taxi ride to the heliport.

“The ride was too short but the views were extraordinary. It wasn’t clear for me that they had different tours (one that takes you inside the city and another that is just on the coast), an upgrade on site was unfortunately not possible due to the flight plans. It would be best to add a picture of the different routes here so it is more clear.”
