Studying in Barcelona doesn’t limit you to the city—every week there are cheap, guided trips that take students to some of the most beautiful spots in Catalonia… and even beyond. These are usually one-day excursions, perfect for students with limited time and limited budgets.
You can check all available trips at erasmusbarcelona.org/trips.
Here’s what you can explore:
Montserrat
The most iconic mountain near Barcelona. Stunning views, a monastery perched on the cliffs, and a landscape that feels unreal.
Girona
A peaceful medieval town filled with charm, colorful riverside houses, and narrow historic streets. Super photogenic and relaxed.
Mont-Rebei
A canyon that always surprises first-timers: turquoise water, dramatic cliffs, and a hike that’s adventurous but still friendly for most students.
Valencia
Beaches, futuristic architecture, and real paella. A perfect city to spend the day exploring something completely different from Barcelona.
Carnaval de Sitges
Loud, colorful, chaotic in the best possible way. It’s one of the wildest carnival parties in Europe and an absolute must if you’re around.
Andorra
Snow, nature, and tax-free shopping. Whether you want to ski or just enjoy the mountain air, it’s a great escape.
Marrakech + Desert Tour
This isn’t a simple “quick trip”—it’s a full adventure.
You visit Marrakech with its markets, food, and historic sites, and then head into the Sahara desert for a camel ride, desert camp, and one of those sunsets you remember forever.
Why Students Love These Trips
- Cheap – very student-friendly
- Guided – zero stress or planning
- Weekly – always something happening
- Social – you meet new people every time
And here’s the best part: you’ll be traveling with buses full of Erasmus and exchange students just like you. The atmosphere is relaxed, everyone’s in the mood to talk, and friendships happen naturally.
Honestly, half of the memories come from the places you visit… and the other half from the people you meet on the bus.
If you want to explore Catalonia (and beyond) without spending much or planning anything, these trips are the easiest and most fun way to do it. Just book, show up, and let the adventure unfold.
