We’re so excited to celebrate with you in Spain! Below, you’ll find everything you need to make your journey as smooth as possible, whether you're coming from the U.S., the U.K., or elsewhere.

Major Airports: The best international airport to fly into is Barcelona-El Prat (BCN). Depending on your route, you can also fly into Madrid-Barajas (MAD) and travel to Barcelona from there. The high-speed Renfe AVE train from Madrid to Barcelona takes 2h 30m, with tickets averaging around €40 (renfe.com). Alternatively, domestic flights and rental cars are available for the journey.


Direct Flights: Major cities like New York, Boston, Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles offer direct flights to Barcelona. Otherwise, most routes will have a layover in a European hub (London, Paris, or Amsterdam).


Time Zone: Spain is 6 hours ahead of EST, so plan for a little jet lag!

Flights: There are frequent direct flights from London, Manchester, and other major U.K. cities to Barcelona-El Prat (BCN).

Flight Time: The flight from London to Spain is about 2-3 hours, making it an easy weekend getaway!

Sitges is a stunning coastal town just 35 km (22 miles) southwest of Barcelona. If you would like to join us on Friday night for Toasts & Talent (i.e. Welcome Drinks) or Sunday for Brunch, you can get there by train, bus, or car.

Departure Points: Barcelona's 3 main train stations are Barcelona-Sants, Passeig de Gràcia, and Estació de França.

Frequency: Frequent departures offered from 5:30 a.m. to midnight

Duration: 45 minutes

Tickets: Can be purchased at the train station kiosks or online for as little as $5 when you book in advance. Simply search "Renfe Barcelona to Sitges" or visit Renfe.com

Route: Drive along the C-32 toll motorway for the fastest route, or take the C-31 coastal road for a scenic drive.

Duration: Approximately 35 minutes via C-32; slightly longer on the coastal route.

Car Rentals: Available at the airport and throughout Barcelona.

U.S. guests: You’ll need a plug adapter and possibly a voltage converter if your device isn’t dual-voltage. (Phones and laptops usually are; hair tools usually aren’t.)

U.K. guests: You’ll need just a plug adapter—your devices are already compatible with the voltage.

Contactless is king – Most places in Spain (restaurants, shops, taxis, even market stands) accept credit cards and contactless payment like Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Cash isn’t essential, but helpful – You don’t need to carry much cash, but it never hurts to have a few Euros on hand for small purchases, tips, or places that have card minimums.

Use a travel-friendly card – Be sure to bring a debit or credit card with no foreign transaction fees to avoid sneaky charges.

Pro tip: Let your bank know you’re traveling to Spain so your card doesn’t get flagged!

We know many of our guests will want to extend their trip to explore more of Spain (and honestly—we LOVE that for you!!) So, we’ve put together a few hotel recommendations in both Sitges (where the wedding will take place) and Barcelona.

These are just a handful of suggestions—there are tons of great options in both Sitges and Barcelona. Feel free to stay wherever best suits your style, budget, and travel preferences.

If you're unsure about which neighborhoods to look at, don't hesitate to reach out, we’re happy to offer our expert guidance!
