Barcelona a different kind of target

Barcelona is a new kind of target. It is one of the top five city break destinations in Europe and the biggest that is not a national capital.

Since it successfully reinvented itself with the 1992 Olympics, it is a byword as a chic and sophisticated party destination for young people, uniquely combining culture, beach and a nightlife in a way that is emulated by its competitors.

Furthermore, it is an Irish favourite. Ireland has 39 weekly flights to Barcelona El Prat airport, 18 from Ryanair, 14 from Aer Lingus and seven from Vueling, a further eight to Reus tom the south and another two to Gerona to the north.
