Sitges

- What to do-

There's a certain magic in the air in Sitges. The whitewashed coastal town lies on the Costa Brava. For decades Sitges has been a meeting place for people from all walks of life. A sophisticated getaway for young and old, gay and straight, families and friends. The town is full to bursting with classic art deco buildings and the seafront promenade is lined with palm trees. Its 17 beaches are some of the best on the Mediterranean coastline. Some activities you can do:

Sitges Film Festival

6-16 OCT 2022

International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia is the number one fantasy film festival in the world and represents, at the same time, the cultural expression with the most media impact in Catalonia. With a solid experience, the Sitges Festival is a stimulating universe of encounters, exhibitions, presentations and screenings of fantasy films from all over the world.

A day at the beach

A seaside town, Sitges boasts some beautiful beaches right on its doorstep. The Platja de Sant Sebastià, located to the east of the town is rather small but family-friendly, whereas the Platja la Bassa Ronda is the main gay-friendly beach and one of the largest and busiest in the summer.

Stroll along the Passeig Maritim

A wide pedestrianised boulevard stretching along the waterfront, the Passeig Maritim is one of the most scenic walks to be enjoyed in Sitges. The walkway is lined with cafés, restaurants and ice cream shops, so there are plenty of opportunities for refreshment along the way.

Explore the Old Town centre

This is where we recommend you stay, when visiting Sitges. The center of Sitges is about 10 minutes wide and 4 minutes long, with its most popular beaches along this 2 km stretch from La Fragata beach to Playa Bassa Rodonda.

The center of town offers everything from amazing Sitges restaurants to local produce shops. Also located in Sitges Centro is ‘Cap de la Vila’ which is the nucleus of Sitges.

Walk in the Garraf Natural Park

Sitges is surrounded by the Garraf Natural Park, located on the small mountain range known as the Garraf Massif. From Sitges, there are a number of marked walks which can be completed within a day round-trip or getting the train back along the coastline from the next town. Along the way you will come across a Buddhist Monastery and abandoned villages.
