Around 2 million passengers from the main German airports had Barcelona as their destination in 2025, ranking 5th among all destinations abroad. El Prat airport lies 16 kilometres south of the city and is connected by Metro L9 Sud, the R2 Nord train and the Aerobús. Works by Antoni Gaudí such as Park Güell, Casa Milà, Casa Batlló and the Nativity façade of the Sagrada Família are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, as is the Palau de la Música Catalana. Nine beaches lie along the city coast, and seven bathing spots carry the Blue Flag in 2026.
