Filed in 2021 Spanish Grand Prix Travel Guide by Editor on June 23, 2020 • 2 Comments

Plan the cost of your trip to the 2021 Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, including race tickets, accommodation and spending money.

Please Note: Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya will host the 2020 Spanish Grand Prix on August 14-16, but the event will be held behind closed doors with no spectators present. This post will be updated with current prices when dates are announced for the 2021 Spanish Grand Prix and tickets go on sale.

Despite being one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, a trip to Barcelona for the Spanish Grand Prix doesn’t have to break the bank. It’s also worth considering taking a package holiday to the Costa Brava as several coastal resorts nearby have good access to the circuit.

BUDGET

Weekend cost approx €335 ($372 USD)
3-day General Admission ticket = €140
Dorm bed at hostel in Barcelona for 3 nights (per person) = €75

MID-RANGE

3-day Fan Grandstand (C, G, J, K) ticket = €240
Mid-range hotel in Barcelona for 3 nights (per person, twin/double share) = €210
Spending money: €75 x 3 = €225

HIGH END

F1 Experiences Champions Club Ticket Package (2-day) = €2157
5-star hotel in Barcelona for 3 nights (per person) = €450
Spending money: €150 x 3 = €450

Average costs are per person based on a stay of 3 nights in Barcelona on Grand Prix weekend with race tickets, accommodation and spending money. The prices do not include flights (or other travel costs) required to reach Barcelona.
About our categories: Budget fans buy the cheapest race tickets (General Admission) and camp by the track or stay in a hostel. Mid-Range fans buy a grandstand ticket and stay in a 3-star hotel, whilst High-End fans buy a VIP or experience package and stay in a 4 or 5 star hotel.

Package Holidays on the Costa Brava

Another mid-range option would be to book a one-week package at a resort on the nearby Costa Brava. From most European countries, a package at a 3-4 star hotel with flights and some meals included can be booked for around €500 EUR ($570 USD) for 7 nights. Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya can easily be reached in under an hour from most Costa Brava resorts and cars can be hired cheaply. Some resorts also put on bus transfers to and from the circuit each day. Read Off-Track Activities for more information.
