Hotels in Sant Adrià de Besòs

Sant Adrià de Besòs

Sant Adrià de Besòs is a small coastal city at the mouth of the river Besòs, on the north-eastern edge of Barcelona. It is the smallest municipality of the Barcelonès comarca and forms one continuous urban area with Barcelona, Badalona and Santa Coloma de Gramenet. Its seafront begins at Port Fòrum, a marina next to the Parc del Fòrum, the esplanade built for the Universal Forum of Cultures in 2004. The Parc del Fòrum hosts large open-air concerts and festivals, such as Cruïlla, every summer. Along the coast, Sant Adrià's beach and the promenade of the Parc del Litoral look out to sea. The three 200-metre chimneys of a former power station, the Tres Xemeneies, rise over the seafront as a landmark of the area's industrial past. The Besòs River Park follows the riverbed with green areas, footpaths and a bike track down to the sea. Metro line L4 stops at El Maresme–Fòrum, the T4 tram runs nearby, and several bus lines link the area with Barcelona. Barcelona's city centre is about 15 minutes away, and El Prat Airport around 25 minutes by car. It suits travellers who want a seafront base with marina views, concerts and beaches while staying close to Barcelona.
