THE CITY FROM ABOVE

Barcelona’s Landmarks in One View

From the helipad you’ll fly the Barcelona coastline with the city as a backdrop and see, from a distance, the Sagrada Familia, Torre Agbar and the Fórum as the route follows the shore northward.

THE COASTLINE

Costa Brava Calas and Coastal Approach

The route climbs the mouth of the Besòs River and continues to the Costa Brava, passing Blanes and reaching Lloret de Mar and the closest coves, timed so you can view the shoreline before the return leg.

THE FORMAT

Private Helicopter, Not Shared

Flights are private charters: the price is per helicopter, available in either a 5-seat (450 kg) or a 3-seat (250 kg) configuration rather than shared seating.

What the Flight Feels Like

The hour-long route lifts from the helipad in Barcelona and tracks the shoreline, offering an aerial sweep of the city’s skyline before following the coast to the rocky coves of the Costa Brava near Blanes and Lloret de Mar; once the planned viewing time is reached the helicopter turns and returns to the departure point for a compact, high-altitude circuit.
