About Barcelona

Why Serviced Apartments in Barcelona?

The question still remains across our sector; what is the difference between serviced accommodation and ordinary hotels? Well, serviced apartments in Barcelona simply exceed the expectations that come with stays in standard hotel rooms.

Situ’s luxury apartments in Barcelona offer more privacy and space, and some are better situated to keep working professionals away from the noise of the city centre. Our Barcelona apartments are especially suitable for those looking for more high-quality like services while staying in either the city centre or on the outskirts.

Across these furnished and equipped properties, corporates can expect to have access to free Wi-Fi connection, fully equipped kitchens, washing facilities, spacious living room and dining room areas and everything that’s required to keep clean and safe.

Ultimately, you will find the aparthotels in Barcelona to be elegant, comfortable and welcoming.

Where is Barcelona?

Barcelona can be found in north-eastern Spain as the capital and largest city of the Catalonia region. Although only Spain’s second biggest city, Barcelona’s urban area is actually the sixth most populous within the EU. The 5 million population live in a glistening metropolis and one of Europe’s most popular city destinations. It is truly a lively and colourful city, and our serviced apartments in Barcelona place travellers right at its energetic centre. 

Walking around the city’s beautiful streets is a pleasure, but people staying in Barcelona corporate housing who travel for work will also enjoy how well connected the city is. Barcelona’s Metro is perfect to get around the city and most of our serviced apartments in Barcelona are within a short walk of a metro station.

The main airport, El Prat, is about 11 miles from the centre, although it’s also worth noting the millions of pleasure cruise passengers that pass through the seaport every year. As one would expect, the city is a major railway hub for the region. Being in the northern part of the country, Barcelona lies on international road routes as well.

Starting a Business in Barcelona

Although there is a large service sector in the city of Barcelona, the area’s sizeable economy is based across a broader spectrum, including automobile manufacturing, technology and, more recently, fashion. It is also something of a centre for both European and world trade, hosting a number of exhibitions and trade fairs. As a result of these year-round business events, corporate housing and aparthotels in Barcelona are very popular among those visiting the city for business.

But why is Barcelona actually such a good place to do business? It is tricky to put a finger on just one reason why expat life in Barcelona is so popular, but the following evidence truly reveals all. Not only are almost half of the country’s foreign companies strategically based in the city and the Catalonia region, but Barcelona has been the city in Europe with the best quality of life for workers for over the last decade, according to the European Cities Monitor Report.

Moreover, as mentioned before the city is also extremely well connected with public transportation facilities that enable travel to the rest of the continent, dubbed as a ‘southern gateway to Europe’. Barcelona continues to grow, attract entrepreneurs through its quality universities, get behind innovate new city projects and immerse itself within sectors that encourage modern, attractive investment. To find out more about potentially investing in the city and Barcelona businesses be sure to visit the Meet Barcelona website and its business sector.

Things to do in Barcelona

Making the most of business travel to Barcelona means leaving yourself some time to enjoy the city's best attractions. After all, around thirty million people enjoy Barcelona holidays every year, meaning luxury apartments in Barcelona are booked all year round.

First of all, the beating heart of the city, Placa Catalunya is full of beautiful buildings, fountains and shopping options to cater for even the most demanding tastes. From here you can walk down the many twists and turns of Gothic Quarter (Barrio Gotico) and explore this amazing and mysterious medieval part of the city. Picasso's museum and Barcelona’s Cathedral are just around the corner too, as well as the famous fish market La Boqueria.

Then there's Las Ramblas (also known as Rambla de Catalunya), probably the city’s most well-known street, at least for tourists. It stretches for over a kilometre down to the seafront and is a lively, mostly pedestrianised boulevard. If you do walk all the way down to La Rambla, you will end up in Barcelona’s famous port and a footbridge leading to the Barceloneta beach. One of Europe’s most famous aquariums is nearby, too. It is only a short walk away from Barcelona’s the stunning Parc de Ciudadella, beautiful pleasure grounds that are popular with kids and adults alike.

But the crown jewel of Barcelona is, of course, La Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudi’s unfinished basilica. This breath-taking temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and dominates the city’s skyline. Gaudi's two other famous buildings Casa Batllo and Casa Mila (La Pedrera) are only a short metro ride away from here, situated on Paseo de Gracia, one of Barcelona’s main boulevards. Ultimately, there are many luxury short term rentals in Barcelona that work as a great accommodation option for personal stays and short trips to this beautiful city.

Transport

Barcelona El Prat Airport (BCN)

Located only 25 minutes away from the city centre, Barcelona El Prat is the main airport connecting the city. It has two terminals, with T1 being mainly used to international flights while T2 connects internal country and European flights.

Also located around an hour’s drive northeast of the city is the Girona Costa Brava Airport. The airport is well connected to the Costa Brava and the Pyrenees and is often used as an alternative airport for travellers visiting Barcelona.

Barcelona Metro

Metro de Barcelona, as it is referred by locals, is the most efficient, cheap and easy way to get around the city. It covers Barcelona perfectly and it is not very hard to find your way through.

Barcelona Metro has 12 lines in total, named simply by numbers and distinguished by colours. Connecting routes is easy in this underground system as every two or three stops you have an option to change lanes.

Barcelona Railway Stations

You can easily get around the country using one of Barcelona's railway stations, with the Placa Catalunya and Barcelona Central station being the two biggest and the best-connected.

Each of the train stations in the city are within a minutes walk of many Barcelona apartments, which is ideal for people constantly on the move.

Buses in Barcelona

Buses in Barcelona operate alongside the city's metropolitan system, using the same payment method. T10 ticket is the most popular for city's visitor's as it offers a quick solution to move around the city and purchase 10 trips at a time.

Aerobus is the best and the cheapest way to get from El Prat Airport to the city centre. It takes around 25 minutes and delivers you straight to Placa Catalunya, where you can change into any other means of transportation and easily get to any point of the city.
