About Renting a Car at Barcelona Les Cortes

Les Corts is one of Barcelona's most well-organized neighborhoods and an excellent starting point for car rental with three rental companies to choose from. From here, it's only 5 km to Barcelona Center and 15 km to Barcelona El Prat Airport via Ronda de Dalt. With a rental car, you can reach Montserrat mountain in about 50 km and Sitges in 35 km.

Les Corts borders Camp Nou – FC Barcelona's home ground – and the modern business district Diagonal. Aveny Diagonal and Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes run straight through the neighborhood and provide quick access to the motorway network. Pedralbes Monastery and the university area are within walking distance.

Avoid picking up the car on match days at Camp Nou – traffic can be gridlocked for hours. Use Ronda de Dalt (the ring road) to quickly reach the motorways without getting stuck in inner-city traffic. Choose a smaller car if you plan to park on Les Corts' residential streets.
