If you book a holiday in Cornellà de Llobregat, you’ll soon notice that the town is very well communicated, as it is located less than 15 minutes from Barcelona El Prat airport and has all types of public transport links.

Start your visit in Plaça de l’Església, a square that is home to the church of Santa Maria, which dates from 1940. There you’ll find the town hall, presided over by pre-Romanesque columns. You’ll see it’s the ideal place for a drink with friends or for relaxing under the shade of the trees in the Parc Central.

After a short walk north from Plaça de l’Església is Cornellá Castle, which dates back to the 11th century. Its strategic location at the top of a small hill offers great views of River Llobregat and the village of Sant Boi de Llobregat.

Take advantage of our cheap trips to Cornellà de Llobregat to visit some of the traditional farmhouses from the 16th and 17th century that are spread around the town. The most well-known and easily accessible ones are Can Maragall, located near the train station, and Can Trabal, located in front of the shopping centre.

The train station is also worth a visit dating from 1855, it was recently renovated and has recovered all of its past beauty. The Familiar Cinema Titan building has also recovered its beauty after being turned into a library in the Riera district.

The package deals to Cornellà de Llobregat offer you the chance to visit the great park of the town: Can Mercader. Children will have fun with the trains that cross the park and the turtles that live in the ponds. However, the star of the show is the Palacio Romántico, an estate that is nowadays a municipal museum.
