Buy a ticket to Spain or go on your own? Our personal experience

We had a chance to visit the capital of Catalonia both on tour and on our own. We have already visited Barcelona 4 times! 🙂 And here's what we can say.

For the first time, we flew with the aim of scouting the situation and therefore decided not to risk it and buy a tour to Barcelona with a departure from Moscow (a ticket from the capital is usually always cheaper, it happened that time). For July, I managed to snatch a quite good value proposition with a 3 * hotel. Breakfasts, transfer, in general, there were no complaints about the service. And the link to the hotel did not prevent me from going on a couple of excursions in Girona and Barcelona.

We made the next trip a year later, but on our own. Flights to Barcelona cost us inexpensively - 1,500 rubles, but we flew by low-cost airline from Italy. So, the amount would be about 15 thousand for one person. Further, there was a misfire with accommodation. Even two, but all because of our own carelessness. Having booked the hostel in advance, we miscalculated the arrival date. I had to spend a couple of hours on the street (but we saw the gay parade at night :)) And in the same way, we left a day earlier ... Apparently, the Barcelona sun and the absence of an organizational hand from above had an effect. We did not make more such mistakes.

How will we go on holiday to Barcelona next time? Tour. And not because we are such fools, not able to properly calculate each point of the trip 🙂

• Time is saved on visa and insurance, search and booking of tickets, accommodation and transfer.
• Lower price! An independent vacation, if you are only flying to Barcelona (even from Moscow), may be more expensive, and the standard of living is worse.
• The voucher rest does not affect the freedom of movement in any way, incl. and between countries. For a day, you can safely fly from Barcelona to Mallorca or Rome. What are the prices? 2000-3000 rubles for one round trip.

• A reliable tour operator will monitor your trip from and to. In particular, he will take you directly to the hotel and promptly remind you of the departure. What we missed on our own trip. 🙂

In general, the choice of vacation - on its own or on a tour - depends on your goals. If you are spending most of your time in Barcelona or Tenerife, then this tour is definitely the right choice! If you plan to visit several European countries, it will be more economical to organize everything yourself and buy tickets yourself.

Tour cost to Spain 2021

As a rule, the cost of a tour to Spain varies depending on the date of the flight (high or low season), the star rating of the hotel and the number of meters separating it from the sea, as well as the food provided.

Let's consider how these factors affect the pricing of tour packages using the example of the cost of a trip to Barcelona in 2021 for two with a departure from Moscow.

But first, let us remind you that prices for tours in Spain do not wait until you decide within a day or two and click on the "pay" button. They change hourly, and sometimes every minute. We saw a low price for suitable numbers - book without hesitation!

Prices for tours to Barcelona in 2021. Hotel stars

All prices are for two

Dates: high season - July

Types of food in the hotel

Let's figure out how much a ticket to Barcelona in 2021 costs for two based on the food provided at the hotel. There are only 5 types, and the decoding is as follows:

• RO - no power
• BB - breakfast included
• HB - includes breakfast and dinner
• FB - breakfast, lunch and dinner included
• Al - all inclusive + free alcohol

On average, the market for tour packages to the capital of Catalonia shows the following prices:

• RO - from 80,000 rubles for 7 days
• BB - from 70,000 rubles
• HB - from 110,500 rubles
• FB - from 165,000 rubles
• AI is rare in Barcelona itself. At neighboring resorts - from 85,000 rubles for 7 days.

Do not be surprised by the irregular range of prices, they are also influenced by other factors - location, hotel level, room type. You can see that the lowest prices for tours to Spain will be with breakfasts, because this is the most common type of food in the country's hotels. Refusal from them does not mean a guaranteed reduction in the price of the voucher. Rather, the opposite is true 🙂

Influence of the seasons

How much a trip to Spain for two costs depends on the time of year. During the high season - from June to September - a trip to Barcelona from the tour operator is the most expensive. Still, millions of tourists from all over the world are eager to grab their portion of the sun's rays. Although, the tourist season has its advantages - more often there are special offers for tours to Spain. But remember, in order to pick up and fly like this, you must have a valid Schengen visa.

In May, in the so-called pre-season, a seven-day voucher can be bought at an affordable price of 25-30 thousand rubles per person, but in August prices below 50 thousand per person can hardly be found. The only disadvantage of buying a tour at the beginning of the season is the cool water in the sea. But walking, sunbathing, shopping is a pleasure! We drove ourselves in May 🙂

Our trip to Barcelona (July 2016)

It happens that last minute tours to Barcelona a couple of days before departure are sold out for 5,000-7,000 rubles per person (for 4 days). Subscribe to our telegram channel Howtrip | Lowcost, there we immediately let you know about such tasty options 🙂

In autumn in September, the Catalan capital is still engulfed in tourist excitement, but the price tag is slowly decreasing - for example, you can fly from Moscow for 7 days for 35,000 per person. The season ends in October with prices for a ticket to Barcelona from 28,000 rubles per person.

The proximity of the hotel to the sea and the beach

In general, we can see that on the east coast of Spain, all-inclusive hotels near the sea can cost even less than their neighbors with a less varied menu. However, this rule does not apply to the Catalan capital. And it's not about nutrition at all 🙂

Meters (or kilometers) to the sea significantly affect how much a ticket to Barcelona costs at one time or another.So, one of the most famous hotels in Barcelona near the 5 * W Barcelona beach, located on the 1st line, 50 meters from the sea, hospitably invites two tourists on a tour for 7 nights for ... 223,000 rubles. And this is closer to the end of the season, in October. Compare with the price tag of the tour to the "top five" from the previous section!

The view from here (Park Guell) is very steep,
but it's better to go early in the morning, before it's so hot

Moving away from the beaches, we observe the following: in 4 * hotels in Barcelona by the sea (300 meters from the beach) you can relax on a seven-day voucher for 100,000 rubles for two, and this is the lowest cost option among the "fours". On average, the price of a tour package with accommodation 300-500 meters from the coastline starts from 125,000 rubles.

The relatively inexpensive hotels in Barcelona by the sea can be found among the 3 star accommodations. Of course, they are already on the third coastline, at least a kilometer from the beach. Tour operators offer accommodation for 7 days in a package for 90,000 rubles for two.

If you want to save your budget, but do not want to walk half an hour in the heat to the nearest sand embankment, then we advise you to consider tour packages to hotels near Barcelona. The cheapest hotels in Spain near the sea are located in the resorts of Calella, Lloret de Mar, Blanes. The cost of the tour here starts from 60,000 rubles for two.

Departure from the regions of the Russian Federation

The influence of the place of departure on the prices for tours to Spain is also obvious. The Moscow-Barcelona flight, for example, is included in a more or less affordable (70,000 rubles) weekly ticket for two in July.

What about other cities in Russia?

• Tour to Barcelona from Kazan - from 110,000 rubles;

• A voucher from Krasnodar - prices soar up to 160,000 rubles.

It is clear that prices for tours from Moscow will always be cheaper, because more airlines work with the airports of the capital. Only a very hot ticket to Spain from the regions can beat the cost 🙂

What is the cheapest way to buy a tour from Moscow to Barcelona? Our travel tips

Final chords, so to speak 🙂

• Not satisfied with the price of the tour package or the proposed hotels in Barcelona? Expand your search to neighboring Spain resorts. You can buy a tour to Salou (100 km from the city) from 30,000 rubles to a hotel located near the beach! For a similar price in Barcelona there is… nothing by the sea.
• Don't look for an all-inclusive tour to Barcelona... Firstly, such hotels are located outside the city. And secondly, the Catalan capital was created solely in order to explore it all day long and taste the breathtakingly delicious local cuisine. And here is a separate article on the sights of Barcelona >>.
• How much is a ticket to Spain for two at the height of the season ?! If the amounts cause nervous twitching - and in July-August this is very likely - shift the rest to September if possible... By the end of the season, prices are dropping and a tour to Barcelona is inexpensive.
• Compare the difference between a one-week trip and a 10-day trip. It also happens that the price tag differs literally by a thousand rubles. Plus three days in Spain, isn't it cool?
• Follow the burning tours... Overtook - book, it will not be cheaper!
• And in the end, look and buy tours online... Because offline, you will overpay for office rent, work of employees, and besides, you will not be able to completely influence the choice of a tour! After all, managers always want to sell a ticket at a higher price.
