Barcelona, the Sagrada Família in the heart of the Eixample
Barcelona stretches between the sea and Montjuïc hill, 180 km from the French border. A Nice to Barcelona transfer takes one day on the road, with breaks at your own pace.
Discover Barcelona
The Sagrada Família
Begun in 1882, the Sagrada Família is still a building site. Its final height, 172.5 metres, follows Gaudí's wish never to rise above Montjuïc hill, which stands at 173 metres. The crypt and the Nativity façade, built in his lifetime, have been on the World Heritage list since 2005.
From the Rambla to the port
The Rambla runs down from Plaça de Catalunya to the old port, where the Columbus monument stands. On your left as you walk down, the Gothic Quarter is the oldest part of the city, with remains of the Roman wall and the cathedral. North of the square, the Eixample, laid out by Ildefons Cerdà in 1859, lines up its streets in a grid.
Our chauffeur services in Barcelona
Getting here and away
Allow 6 h 55 min between Nice Airport and Barcelona. The road crosses Provence and Languedoc before the Spanish border. Bring your passport or identity card. You can stop on the way, at whatever time suits you. The fare, from €1,530, is set before departure. Tell us how many suitcases you are bringing when you book, and we plan the right car.
A long drive at your own pace
Leaving Nice in the morning and reaching Barcelona by late afternoon is the simplest plan. You choose the stops, for lunch or to stretch your legs. In a V-Class, a family takes all its suitcases, and everyone keeps plenty of legroom.
The drive back to the coast
For the trip from Barcelona to Nice, a chauffeur calls at your hotel or flat on the agreed day. You reach Cannes, Antibes or Monaco without changing cars. For a congress, our business service plans both legs of the journey.

Your questions
Frequently asked questions
How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Barcelona?
The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €1,700 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €2,000 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €2,400 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€1,530 in an E-Class). The price is shown before you book and does not change afterwards.
How long does it take from Nice Airport to Barcelona?
About 6 h 55 min to reach Barcelona (657 km), as a guide only: depending on the season and the time of day, the journey may take longer. Your chauffeur tracks your flight: if it is late, they wait for you and the waiting time is free.
Do you also leave from Cannes, Monaco or Antibes for Barcelona?
Yes. We leave from anywhere on the French Riviera, at the address you give us: hotel, villa, station or port. The fare for your trip is shown before you book.
Can you drive a family from Barcelona to Nice with all their luggage?
Yes. In a V-Class, the whole family and its suitcases travel in the same car.
Will your private driver from Nice to Barcelona take us to a congress?
Yes. We drop you at the venue or your hotel, then come and fetch you on the agreed date for the drive back to the coast.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. The price is shown before you book, including VAT and per vehicle, and it does not change afterwards.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes: child car seats and booster seats. Just mention it when you book.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes. Up to 6 hours before pick-up, you can cancel free of charge or change your booking yourself, from your booking page (and during the hour after a booking made later than that). After that, contact us directly and we will do our very best.
How do I pay?
Directly on the website, by card, when you book: your booking is confirmed straight away. You can also pay in the car, by card (American Express accepted) or in cash.
What is the difference between a private chauffeur (VTC) and a taxi?
A VTC (private-hire chauffeur) is booked in advance and its price is fixed when you book. A taxi can be taken without booking, at a rank or in the street, and its fare usually depends on the meter. Riviera Private Driver is a VTC service.
