Distance from Barcelona to Italy. From Rome to Barcelona by cruise ferry
Last summer I had a small European tour France - Spain - Italy. And everywhere I covered distances by plane. It’s time to talk about my journey from Barcelona to Milan, one of the most beautiful cities on the planet. I really liked this city. Milan is suitable for lovers of architecture, delicious food, good clothes and just a cozy atmosphere.
Here I will tell you about how I got there myself and a few more optimal options.
By plane
It seems to me that a plane is the ideal option for traveling between European cities. The prices are low, and the flight only takes 1-2 hours.
Several airlines operate direct flights Barcelona – Milan:
- Ryanair.
- Vueling.
- EasyJet.
Schedule
In fact, at least eight planes fly from Barcelona to Milan every day. You will have plenty to choose from:)
Fare
So, as I said, Ryanair has the best deals, you can get a ticket for only 12.00 euros! Vueling prices range from 30.00 euros to 60.00 euros, depending on the tariff. EasyJet offers tickets for an average of 50.00 euros.
Where to buy tickets
You can check the schedule, buy a ticket and reserve a seat on the official website of the airlines: Ryanair, Easyjet, Vueling, or you can use a special search engine for cheap tickets, for example.
Airport
Barcelona El Prat Airport is a 30-minute train ride from the city center. The RENFE commuter train departs from Barcelona Sants train station every half hour from 6:00 to 24:00. The fare is approximately 4.50 euros. Tickets can be purchased on site from special machines.
By bus
From Barcelona to Milan you will have to travel 13-15 hours by bus, for me this is unbearable, but if you are more relaxed about it, you can try it.
Schedule
The Barcelona - Milan route is operated by only one bus carrier - Flixbus:
Eurolines buses also operate on the Barcelona - Milan route, but their routes contain 1-2 transfers, such a journey can take 20-30 hours.
Fare
The average ticket price is approximately 45.00 euros. You can buy tickets on the official website of Flixbus. Buses depart from Barcelona Nord station, which is next to the Marina metro station on the Red Line. You can get there from the center in 20 minutes.
By train and ferry
An alternative, but interesting option. In Barcelona we take the ferry and sail to Genoa, from there we take the Trenitalia train to Milan. The cost of a ferry ticket can vary from 60 to 100 euros, depending on the comfort class. Travel time is almost 20 hours. As for the second part of the journey, a train ticket will cost an average of 15.00 euros, and the trip will take about two hours. You can see the ferry schedule.
By train
Unfortunately, there are no direct flights from Barcelona to Milan, so I think this option is not relevant.
There is one regular train that operates the Barcelona-Milan route, but with two transfers in Valencia and Geneva, in total this flight takes almost 13.5 hours. If you book your trip about a month before the departure date, the ticket will cost an average of 120.00 euros. You can view the schedule.
By car
The distance between Barcelona and Milan is almost 1000 km, which means that the drive will take 10-11 hours. There’s probably no point in renting a car and driving headlong to Milan, because you can check out several beautiful towns along the way: Marseille, Cannes, Nice. This way you will enjoy your trip much more.
The roads are of high quality, it’s very pleasant to drive, and even more pleasant when you can see the sea outside the window :)
Fare
Renting a car in Barcelona for a day costs on average 85.00 euros, a considerable amount. Plus gas costs, depending on your car's needs. By the way, on the way from Barcelona to Milan there are a sufficient number of gas stations. You can stop for a snack in any town or roadside cafe.
Another mandatory expense is that travel on some highways in Spain, France and Italy requires a toll.
It is best to rent a car in advance, through an online service, such as, for example.

Things to do in Rome
Vatican City
Vatican City, officially Vatican City State or the State of Vatican City (Italian: Stato della Città del Vaticano; Latin: Status Civitatis Vaticanae), is a country located within the city of Rome. With an area of approximately 44 hectares (110 acres), and a population of 1,000, it is the smallest country in the world by both area and population. However, formally it is not sovereign, with sovereignty being held by the Holy See.
St. Peter's Basilica
The Papal Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican (Italian: Basilica Papale di San Pietro in Vaticano), or simply St. Peter's Basilica (Latin: Basilica Sancti Petri), is an Italian Renaissance church in Vatican City, the papal enclave within the city of Rome.
Colosseum
The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an oval amphitheater in the center of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and sand, it is the largest amphitheater ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72, and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheater was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).
Pantheon
The Pantheon is a former Roman temple, now a church, in Rome, Italy, on the site of an earlier temple commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD). The present building was completed by the emperor Hadrian and probably dedicated about 126 AD. He retained Agrippa's original description, which has confused its date of construction as the original Pantheon burnt down so it is not certain when the present one was built.
