Getting to see three countries in one day and do a tour of the mountains at the border is an exciting and popular way for tourists to spend their time. Organised coach tour trips are a common way for people to take excursions from Barcelona to the locality. There are a number of companies offering organised coach trips with a maximum group number of 20 people. These tours are onboard a minivan and include a licensed tour guide. Most companies offer these tours in English only, however it may be possible to hire specialty tours in other languages. Tours typically last 12 hours and set off from Barcelona at 7am.

Prices start from around €130 per adult and €97 per child. These prices are subject to slight variation between the company offering the tour, as well as how far in advance the tour is booked. These prices do not include lunch or other meals and beverages.

There are tours running every day, throughout the year. These leave only once per day, usually first thing in the morning. Some dates may be unavailable due to important national holidays or festivals, but these are rare. Please be aware that this tour is particularly weather sensitive and therefore is subject to short-notice cancellation if the weather makes it unable to continue. In such a case, you will receive either a change of date or full refund.

This day trip is an overall convenient way to see three countries in one day, as you are in a small group and have a licensed tour guide with you. The limitations are the tight schedule that must be stuck to, meaning you have less freedom to explore if there is somewhere you particularly like. Also you have to also bear in mind that a coach trip that lasts so many hours (12 in total) might be tiring. 

Having your own vehicle is the ultimate in flexibility for visiting the three countries in one day, as the only limitation is yourself. You can explore whichever parts of those countries you choose to and you can visit them for as long as you like. Hiring a car is very common in Barcelona, and there are plenty of rental shops around the city centre, as well as at the airport. The journey time from Barcelona to the midpoint of the three countries- El Pas de la Casa- is 2 and a half hours drive.

There is a lot of variability in the cost of hiring a car, meaning that you could get a vehicle from as low as €60, but this could quickly cost more than €500. Factors that influence the price include vehicle type, hire company, the season it is hired, how far in advance you make a booking, where you pick it up from, if you pay online and more. As well as the cost of the vehicle, you may have to put down a security deposit, which could cost considerably more than the car rental itself. You will also have to pay for fuel and tolls. You will likely spend another €90 extra for this trip, plus parking fees.

There are lots of car rental shops in Barcelona, as well as pick up points throughout the city centre. This includes Placa de Catalunya, Passeig de Gracia, Barceloneta beach and the Eixample district. If you are wanting to do this trip soon after you arrive, you may want to hire the car from the airport. Typical requirements include being over 21 years old and having your licence for at least 2 years. If your licence is from outside the EU, you may need additional paperwork.

Barcelona is a safe city and it is fairly straightforward to drive there. The countryside motorways are open and driving is even easier once outside of the city. It is important to be aware that this tour involves exploring the mountains, and so it is important to prepare for the weather at higher elevations, particularly in the winter months. Make sure every passenger has a relevant passport and visa or European ID card, depending on requirements, so as to have no difficulty at the borders.
