Why this trip
Beach and city within an hour by train, tram or on foot: it is exactly this mix that makes Barcelona one of the easiest cities for families with children. The distances between sea, parks and sights are short, and the climate from April to June and from September to October is mild. You can experience Gaudí with children if you keep it small: see the Sagrada Família in the morning, then the Park Güell with its dragon staircase and colourful mosaics. In the Barri Gòtic children run through narrow lanes and discover fountains and street musicians, until lunch and siesta call.
At the city beach of Barceloneta the water is shallow, and a beach bar is never far away. Spain eats late, so a snack in the afternoon is worthwhile so that children do not get fretful before dinner begins. In the lanes parents should carry bags in front, as pickpockets are a well-known issue in Barcelona. Palma de Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Valencia are reachable by ferry or flight, but with children Barcelona itself is enough.
The flight takes about two hours.
Getting there
On a journey with children every hour counts, so from Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse Swiss Vibes chooses short and calm connections where possible.
