Barcelona from the sea: sailboat, sunset and skyline
Set sail from Port Olímpic and see the Sagrada Familia and Montjuïc from the water, drink in hand, in the golden light of sunset.
You’re going to love Barcelona
Barcelona is a city that lives between the mountains and the sea: Gaudí’s architecture, the Gothic Quarter, markets, tapas and a long urban coastline with beaches, all within a few metro stops. It is one of the few big European cities where you can go from a museum to the sand in minutes.
And the view of Barcelona from the water is the one most visitors miss: the skyline, the cable car over the port, Montjuïc and the Sagrada Família rising behind the rooftops, with the sun setting over the city. Setting sail from Port Olímpic puts you in the middle of that postcard in a few minutes.

Barcelona looks best from the sea. The beach, the W hotel, the skyline and the mountains of Collserola behind it are a single panorama from the boat, and a sunset sail with the city lit up is one of the most memorable things to do.
