FROM BARCELONA
By Train
There are three main train stations in Barcelona that offer a service going to Sitges: Estació de França, Passeig de Gràcia and Estació Sants. The C2 train travels from Franca to Passeig de Gràcia to Sants and then on to Sitges. The final destination of the train is either Vilanova i la Geltru or St. Vincenç de Calders - these are the names that you should be searching for on departure boards and on the front of the train as opposed to Sitges.
TIP!
It is worth noting that not all of the trains start at Estació de França or return there. They travel more frequently to and from the other two stations - Estació Sants and Passeig de Gràcia. Therefore, if you wish to travel to or from Estació de França it is best to check the timetable (see below) of trains which begin or end at that station.
By Car
There are two possible routes for making the journey by car - the scenic route or the motorway. The scenic route will take you along the winding cliffside roads. If you are prone to car sickness you may want to take whatever precautions you find most helpful for the journey - this drive is certainly anything but a straight one. However, it is definitely worth the extra time and effort - allowing you to get up close and personal with the craggy cliff edges and glimmering shores of the Costa Brava.
If you are short of time or are not too fond of heights, you may prefer to take the more direct route to Sitges - along the C-32. This should shorten your journey time and provide a more direct route. However, don't forget that this road will require you to pay a toll. Where as the other option will be free of charge.
TIP!
Sitges is located approximately 42 km south of Barcelona. A taxi journey will take about 40 minutes.
Taxi fare: €75.00 - €85.00
