Traveling Before + After the Wedding
Sitges Hotels
If you plan to leave the U.S. on Friday, April 18, we suggest staying in the seaside town of Sitges as it is very close to the venue. Below please find some recommended hotels, as well as information if you are staying in Sitges during the wedding weekend.
Hotel Calipolis
This is very close (~5 mins) to the beach and many restaurants.
Sabàtic, Sitges, Autograph Collection
This is a Marriott hotel a fifteen minute walk to the beach.
Hotel MIM Sitges
For those who will be staying in Sitges during the wedding weekend, we have arranged for a discount code with the Hotel MIM (link below). The code is: WEDEMJA. It is active until December 31, 2024, so we advise booking soon. Hotel MIM has a three-night minimum stay during the week of the wedding, so if you are planning to stay in Sitges on Saturday 4/19 only, you can book at the other hotels suggested above or any other of your choosing.
Barcelona Highlights
If you would like to travel to Barcelona before or after the wedding weekend, here are some tips!
Public transportation is safe, inexpensive, and easy in and around Barcelona. The metro or buses will take you anywhere you would like to go, and you can easily grab a taxi from the Barcelona airport or in the city itself. The Google Maps phone app is helpful when getting around and will show you the fastest route either on foot, by car, or by public transportation.
Basílica de la Sagrada Família
The Sagrada Familia is the largest unfinished Catholic church in the world. Designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926), in 2005 his work on Sagrada Família was added to an existing (1984) UNESCO World Heritage Site,
El Gòtic (barri)
The Gothic Quarter is the historic centre of the old city of Barcelona. The quarter encompasses the oldest parts of the city of Barcelona, and includes the remains of the city's Roman wall and several notable medieval landmarks.
La Rambla
La Rambla is a tree-lined, pedestrian-only street in the heart of Barcelona. It's a major tourist hotspot, so we don't recommend eating there, because there are better restaurants nearby.
Eixample
The Eixample neighborhood of Barcelona is a great place to stay. Quieter and less touristy, it has great shops (especially on Paseig de Gracia and Rambla de Catalunya) and places to eat.
Montserrat
Montserrat is a monastery that's set high in the mountains outside of Barcelona. It's an hour and a half by train, and 50 minutes by car.
Tossa de Mar
An hour and a half north of Barcelona you can find Tossa de Mar, a seaside village with an Old Town and castle.
