You can also go to the popular Picasso Museum, where you will be able to see a large collection of this artist’s work. If you’re hoping to explore somewhere outside of the city, consider going on a day trip, such as to the town of Girona that is about a 1.5-hour drive away.

Mike M.

The car we booked wasnt available but we were offered an upgrade. Not exactly sure (yet) if we have been charged for that. Car was in new condition and handover before and after quick and easy.

Allison E.

I don’t speak Spanish, but thankfully, the agent behind the counter spoke perfect English. He was patient, kind, and incredibly helpful. My flight had been moved without any notice to a much earlier time, and I was so overwhelmed that I cried right there at the Sixt counter. The agent spoke gently, which really helped calm me down, and took care of every single step of the rental so I could just breathe. I liked Sixt before, but I love it now. One hundred stars to my hero at the Barcelona airport!

Jennifer M.

Cannot say enough. There is no reason to rent with any other company, as Sixt really is the best.

Clare G.
