Sitges (day-trip)

Is Sitges (day-trip) worth it on a budget?

Worth itOn a budget

On a budget, Sitges (day-trip) still earns its price.

€ (~€8–9 train return)

Whitewashed old streets, a photogenic church on the headland, clean beaches and a famously buzzy, LGBTQ-friendly nightlife and café scene — an easy cercanías ride from the centre. It's the relaxed beach-town antidote to the big city. The catch: it heaves in high summer and during festivals (Carnival, Pride), and out of season it can feel sleepy.
