Why Spain?

Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Cologne all have multiple daily nonstop flights to Spain, with most routes taking between two and three hours – short enough to make even a long weekend worthwhile.

Few countries pack in so much variety: Barcelona and Madrid for a city break, the Costa del Sol around Málaga for classic beach holidays, and Mallorca as a world of its own, with coves, mountain villages and a German community that goes back decades.

Add a shared currency, a well-developed road and high-speed rail network, and German-speaking staff in many tourist areas, and Spain becomes an easy country to travel without ever feeling generic.

Where to stay

  • Barcelona — Suits travellers who want beach, architecture and nightlife in one city, with direct flights from every major German airport.
  • Madrid — The right pick for museum- and tapas-focused travellers who want a landlocked capital with excellent rail links across the country.
  • Málaga — Ideal as a Costa del Sol base, combining beach holidays, golf and a compact historic centre.
  • Sevilla — Fits travellers after Andalusian culture, flamenco and architecture – best enjoyed in spring or autumn given the summer heat.
  • Zaragoza — A hidden gem between Madrid and Barcelona for those wanting everyday Spanish life without the crowds.

Flights from Germany typically cost between 50 and 180 euros one-way depending on how far ahead you book and the season, a mid-range double room runs 70 to 130 euros a night, and a restaurant meal with a drink is around 15 to 25 euros per person.
