The Barcelona Coast Tour is a shared helicopter flight along the city's shoreline, lifting off from the Port heliport at Port Vell for about six to seven minutes in the air. At €94 per person it's the most affordable way to see Barceloneta, Port Vell and Torre Glòries from above, with the full experience — check-in through landing — wrapped up in 25 minutes.
The flight begins at the passenger heliport on Paseo Escullera, right at the edge of Port Vell in central Barcelona.
The helicopter climbs over La Barceloneta, the grid-planned 18th-century fishing quarter that gives way to the city's most popular beach.
Below sits Port Vell's marina and the sail-shaped W Hotel Barcelona rising off the Barceloneta shoreline.
The route passes the World Trade Center Barcelona, the crescent-shaped office and hotel complex built out on its own pier in the harbor.
The 60-metre Columbus Monument at the foot of La Rambla marks the point where the old port meets the historic city center.
Jean Nouvel's bullet-shaped Torre Glòries tower comes into view, its glass facade catching the light over the Eixample skyline.
The flight tracks north along San Sebastián and San Miguel beaches, the stretch of sand closest to the old town.
Somorrostro Beach passes below, named after the shantytown that once stood here before the 1992 Olympics redevelopment.
The tour reaches the mouth of the Besós river, where the waterway meets the Mediterranean at Barcelona's northern edge.
The helicopter turns back along the coast and returns to the Port heliport for landing.

No — it's a shared flight with other passengers, typically 3 to 6 people per departure. If you'd rather have the aircraft to yourselves, the Coast & Besós Tour covers similar coastline privately.
Either a Robinson R44 or an Airbus AS355, depending on group size and availability on the day.
That's the full price — headset, safety briefing and terminal access are all included, with nothing added at check-in.
Yes, as long as they meet the standard weight and safety guidelines and carry valid photo ID like every other passenger.
Yes — the Coast & Besós Tour continues further up the coast to the Besós river as a private charter, and the Sky Tour adds the city's landmark skyline instead.
