About Lourdes
Your trip from Barcelona to Lourdes will take you to a small town in the Pyrenees mountains, renowned worldwide as one of the most important religious pilgrimage sites. Each year, millions of visitors seeking healing and spiritual solace flock to this sacred place, drawn by its profound religious significance. The town's fame originates from the Marian apparitions of 1858 when a 14-year-old girl, Bernadette Soubirous, reported visions of the Virgin Mary in the Grotto of Massabielle.
This serene town offers a unique blend of spiritual tranquility and natural beauty. The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, the central point of the town, preserves the grotto, several basilicas, and baths where pilgrims immerse themselves in the water, believed to have healing powers. There are three basilicas situated in the Sanctuary. The most outstanding one is The Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, which according to Bernadette Soubirous was initiated by the Virgin Mary herself, stating âGo and tell the priests to build a chapel here and that people should come in procession.â The other two basilicas are The Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary and The Basilica of St Pius X. The latter is more modern, built in 1958, and it is striking to visitors due to its architectural allure. It is an underground church with the capacity to hold 25,000 worshippers.
Lourdes preserves the belief and joy brought to millions of people every year. For serenity, calmness, and the beauty of the French countryside, Lourdes is a perfect place to visit.

How to get from Barcelona to Lourdes
Traveling from Barcelona to Lourdes offers several options, each with its own set of considerations. Here are the main ways to make the journey:
Barcelona to Lourdes by private car
Book your trip with Daytrip for a safe and smooth journey. The time your journey takes is approximately six hours without the stops and sightseeing. The route typically takes you north through the Pyrenees, offering beautiful views. You can choose the coastal route via Toulouse or a more direct route through the mountains. Traveling with a door-to-door private car service such as Daytrip provides flexibility, comfort, and the opportunity to make the most of the stops along the way. Donât hesitate to book your trip in advance, add your stops to your itinerary and get ready for a smooth journey.
Barcelona to Lourdes by train
Traveling to Lourdes by train takes seven to ten hours, usually with one or two transfers, often in Toulouse and Tarbes. The railway passes through the Pyrenees, which makes the train ride a very scenic one. While it is a better option than driving because it saves you the stress, it can be time-consuming due to transfers and waiting times. Check the train schedules here.
Barcelona to Lourdes by bus
By far the longest option, the bus ride takes about 10 to 14 hours, depending on the service.
It is a more economical option compared to other modes of transportation, but the longer travel time makes traveling by bus the least comfortable way to reach Lourdes.
Barcelona to Lourdes by flight
There are flights that can take you near Lourdes. The flight to Toulouse or Pau is around 1 hour, followed by a train or bus to Lourdes (an additional two to four hours). It is the quickest way to cover the long distance but it requires additional transportation from the airport to Lourdes. Taking a plane is not a direct option and can be costly.
Things to do when you get to Lourdes
Getting from Barcelona to Lourdes, a town famous for its sacred atmosphere, will certainly be rewarding! Besides its religious connotations, Lourdes also offers a beautiful backdrop to your European vacation. Here are some of the many things youâll be enjoying throughout your visit to Lourdes;
Enjoy the goods in Lourdes Covered Market
Explore Lourdes Covered Market to get a unique glimpse into the regional customs and goods as well as traditional foods and ingredients. In this market, covered by the roof of a 19th century building, youâll see many stands offering a wide variety of local delicacies and fresh produce. Take in the sights, and scents of the market while filling your basket with locally produced goods.
Go for the panoramic views at Pic du Jer
Pic du Jer, overlooking picturesque Lourdes and located in the Pyrenees, has breathtaking panoramic views accessible via a historic funicular railway or a three-hour hike. At the summit, explore walking trails, observatories, and hidden grottos. This century-old railway journey ascends to 3,050 feet, providing a memorable adventure. The area also features nice restaurants and guided tours of glacial caves. The funicular operates daily except in winter, starting near the Lourdes train station.
Be captivated by the Massabielle Grotto
The Grotto of Massabielle is a cave renowned for visions of the Virgin Mary and healing waters attracting six million pilgrims annually. Visitors are drawn to its miraculous spring, seeking healing and spiritual solace. The site includes the Sanctuary of Notre Dame de Lourdes, offering a profound experience with baths for immersion in the sacred waters. Admission is free, emphasizing respect for its religious significance.
Marvel at the beauty of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary
One of the three basilicas at the Sanctuary of Lourdes, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary stands out as the most colorful and artistic one. Step into some of the finest examples of Byzantine-style mosaics in this smaller, but striking, basilica. It is said that the two arched ramps framing the church are designed to reflect a motherly embrace welcoming its visitors. There are also 15 chapels decorated with works of art, each of which representing an element of theology.
When is the best time to visit Lourdes
Plan your trip from Barcelona to Lourdes by considering your preferences about the weather and the size of the crowds you can endure. The peak pilgrimage season is from April to October, with the weather being mild to warm, ideal for exploring the town and participating in outdoor religious ceremonies. Keep in mind that this period also sees the highest number of visitors.
If you're looking to avoid the crowds but with good weather, visit during the months of April, May, early June, late September, or October. You'll find fewer visitors, more comfortable weather, and the town's sites will still be fully accessible.
For those interested in participating in specific religious events, the Feast of the Assumption on August 15th is a significant day in Lourdes, with special ceremonies and processions. This marks one of the busiest times in Lourdes.

âJag anvĂ€nde denna tjĂ€nst för en transfer frĂ„n Split i Kroatien till Perast i Montenegro. Min upplevelse var exceptionell. Min chaufför Bojan var hjĂ€lpsam, informativ och sĂ„g till att min resa var bekvĂ€m och trevlig. Jag rekommenderar starkt denna tjĂ€nst.â
âVi var mycket nöjda med kvaliteten pĂ„ den service vi fick frĂ„n Day Trip. Vi hade tvĂ„ resor med Day Trip: den 31 augusti frĂ„n Aten till Lefkada och den 7 september frĂ„n Lefkada tillbaka till Aten. BĂ„da resorna inkluderade stopp vid natursköna platser i Grekland. BĂ„da förarna var utmĂ€rkta och tillmötesgĂ„ende. Vi vill dock sĂ€rskilt uppmĂ€rksamma Panos Peppas, som var vĂ„r förare frĂ„n Lefkada till Aten. Panos var otroligt trevlig och behaglig och levererade enastĂ„ende kundservice, som inkluderade att han tog hand om allt vĂ„rt bagage, gav oss kallt vatten under hela resan, försĂ„g oss med proteinbars, gav oss tryckt material om Korintkanalen (ett av de natursköna stoppen), tog reda pĂ„ och gav oss terminal- och gateinformation för vĂ„rt flyg hem, samt gav oss ett recept pĂ„ tzatziki.â

âVi Ă€lskar verkligen det hĂ€r företaget och har anvĂ€nt det mĂ„nga gĂ„nger genom Ă„ren för att ta oss frĂ„n A till B utan krĂ„nglet med att hyra bil sjĂ€lva. UtmĂ€rkta chaufförer varje gĂ„ng. Effektiva och professionella. Det Ă€r vĂ€rt varenda krona, och vi rekommenderar Ă€rligt Day Trip till alla. Deras femstjĂ€rniga betyg Ă€r vĂ€lförtjĂ€nt.â
âVi reste frĂ„n NĂŒrnberg till MĂŒnchen i en vacker Audi. Chauffören hĂ€mtade oss pĂ„ vĂ„rt hotell exakt vid den begĂ€rda tiden. Han fick oss till MĂŒnchen i god tid för vĂ„r nĂ€sta tur. Chauffören sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt.â
âGonzalo frĂ„n Daytrip var vĂ„r chaufför och han var helt fantastisk. Han gjorde allt för att hitta oss eftersom vĂ„r mobiltĂ€ckning var dĂ„lig. Han vĂ€ntade tĂ„lmodigt i lobbyn tills vi kom, sĂ„ att han kunde köra oss frĂ„n Tulum Dreams Resort till vĂ„rt andra hotell i CancĂșn, en och en halv timme bort nĂ€ra flygplatsen inför vĂ„r hemresa. Han var artig, respektfull och vĂ€nlig. Han sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt under hela resan. Snabb och effektiv. Jag rekommenderar detta företag eftersom det inte Ă€r lĂ€tt eller billigt att hitta en enkelresa frĂ„n Tulum till CancĂșn, och detta företag erbjuder en utmĂ€rkt tjĂ€nst till ett bra pris. Jag kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda dem igen nĂ€r jag Ă€r i omrĂ„det CancĂșn/Tulum. Tack DayTrip och Gonzalo.â
âMarianna hĂ€mtade oss för att köra oss frĂ„n Heraklion till Chania. VĂ€dret var hemskt, och pĂ„ grund av detta kom Marianna nĂ„gra minuter sent. Hon kontaktade mig för att meddela det. Marianna bor i Chania och gjorde resan vĂ€ldigt intressant genom att berĂ€tta om lokala sevĂ€rdheter och saker att göra i Chania. Marianna Ă€r en sĂ€ker förare och vi kĂ€nde oss alla trygga med bĂ„de hastigheten och hur bra hon körde i det kraftiga regnet. Hon Ă€r en underbar person och talar flytande engelska. Vi rekommenderar verkligen Daytrip, och om du Ă€r i Heraklion eller Chania, se till att frĂ„ga efter Marianna.â
âJag anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten för att Ă„ka frĂ„n Luxor till Hurghada, Egypten. Ahmed H var vĂ„r chaufför och han var perfekt. Bilen var ny, ren, han hade vatten och snacks för oss och anpassade sig efter vĂ„ra stopp. Fantastisk service frĂ„n honom, jag rekommenderar det varmt.â
âVi anvĂ€nde Daytrip för tvĂ„ resor i Mexiko, och bĂ„da var fantastiska. SĂ„ bekvĂ€mt, och vi anlĂ€nde till varje destination i perfekt tid. BĂ„da förarna var otroliga, och vi kĂ€nde oss vĂ€ldigt trygga. En av vĂ„ra förare, Miguel, spelade dessutom den bĂ€sta musiken! Vi kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda Daytrip pĂ„ vĂ„r nĂ€sta resa till Mexiko.â

âVi visste inte vad vi skulle förvĂ€nta oss av denna resa och bokade frĂ„n Australien. Vi letade frĂ„n början efter ett enkelt sĂ€tt att resa frĂ„n Granada till Malaga. Vi bestĂ€mde oss för att inte missa möjligheten att se nĂ„got extra pĂ„ vĂ€gen. Miguel övertrĂ€ffade verkligen vĂ„ra förvĂ€ntningar. Hans engelska var utmĂ€rkt (tyvĂ€rr talar vi mycket lite spanska), och han var mycket vĂ€nlig och hjĂ€lpsam. Vi njöt verkligen av att höra om regionerna nĂ€r vi passerade genom dem och Ă€ven att diskutera nĂ„gra av de lokala sĂ€tten. Miguel tog oss till Antequera som planerat och sĂ„g till att vi enkelt kunde fĂ„ vĂ„ra biljetter till attraktionerna utan nĂ„gon brĂ„dska. Vi blev upphĂ€mtade och avlĂ€mnade punktligt och njöt verkligen av vĂ„r resa. Förhoppningsvis kommer vi att Ă„tervĂ€nda till Spanien och vi kan anvĂ€nda denna tjĂ€nst igen nĂ„gon gĂ„ng.â
âIâm writing this review about a fantastic experience we had with Daytrip on September 21,2018. We were a party of 7 and had a scheduled pick up of 9 am at our Erik Vokel Apartment in Barcelona and our driver, Pere was there way before schedule. He immediately took our luggages and handed us water and candies for our trip. Sometime during our trip, our little 2 year old started to throw up as she has not been feeling very well . He stopped to help us clean her up and offered to take us to the nearest pharmacy to get some medicine. He took us to a very scenic route and always asked us if we would like to take photos, which we did! I took the front passenger/co-pilot seat and he pointed out many sceneries that I enjoyed a lot. It was my first time to visit France and Pere made it such an enjoyable experience. He was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. At one point we saw a sheep farm and we asked if we could stop and buy some cheese. Yet again, he helped us converse with the farmer as our French couldnât take us anywhere! We arrived at our destination safe and sound and did not notice the 10 hour travel at all!
I highly recommend Daytrip to anyone who needs transfers or driver services. It was worth every penny we paid!
