A Barcelona helicopter tour lifts off from the port and puts the city under you in as little as seven minutes: Port Vell and the coast first, then on the Sky flights the Sagrada Família, Montjuïc and Camp Nou, and on the two longest private flights the mountain of Montserrat, inland from the city.
All seven flights on the Barcelona hub leave from the same place, the Heliport del Port de Barcelona. What changes is how far inland you go. Decide whether the coast is enough, whether you want the basilica and the hills, or whether the mountain is the point, and the right ticket follows.
The shared Barcelona helicopter tours: coast or city
- Barcelona Coastal 7-Minute Helicopter Tour, from €118 per person. The entry price on the hub. About seven minutes over Port Vell and the waterfront. It stays on the port and coast and does not turn inland.
- Barcelona Sky 12-Minute Helicopter Tour, from €213 per person. About twelve minutes, with in-flight audio. After the coast it turns toward the city, with the Sagrada Família and Montjuïc on the route.
If the Sagrada Família is why you are booking, the shared Sky ticket is the cheapest way to see it from the air. Neither shared flight goes out to Montserrat.
Private Barcelona flights: the helicopter to yourselves
Private tickets are priced for up to three passengers. The coastal ones fly daily. The private Sky flight over the city flies Friday to Sunday only, for up to five.
- Barcelona Costa 7-Minute Private Helicopter Tour, from €305 for up to 3, daily. The harbour and the coast, the same short idea as the shared coastal flight.
- Barcelona Litoral 10-Minute Private Helicopter Tour, from €376 for up to 3, daily. The old harbour, Barceloneta and the Mediterranean coast. Still coast only.
- Barcelona Sky 12-Minute Private Helicopter Tour, from €890 for up to 3, Friday to Sunday, up to 5 passengers. Coast to city, with the Olympic Port and beaches, the Sagrada Família, Camp Nou and Montjuïc named on the route.
Montserrat by helicopter from Barcelona
Two private flights carry on inland to Montserrat and back to the port. Both are scenic flights only: you do not land at the monastery.
- Barcelona Montserrat Litoral 40-Minute Private Helicopter Tour, from €1,394 for up to 3, daily, up to 3 passengers. About 40 minutes: the coast first, then the mountain.
- Barcelona Montserrat Sky 35-Minute Private Helicopter Tour, from €2,186 for up to 3, Friday to Sunday, up to 5 passengers. About 35 minutes: the city Sky route first, then the mountain.
Pick Litoral if your dates fall midweek and there are three of you or fewer. Pick Sky if you want the city landmarks and Montserrat on one flight and can fly Friday to Sunday.
