Pace yourself
There is a lot to do at Sonar for almost 72 hours straight. Do a little preplanning to make the shows you want to see and to take advantage of the art and education available as well.
Pack a bathing suit
The festival setting is Barcelona, one of Europe’s best urban beach environments. Include some time dipping your toes in the Mediterrean.
Pick your city
If you can’t make it to the original Barcelona festival sites, then consider the traveling show. Recent alternate cities have included Reykavik, Oakland, Tokyo, Montreal, and Cape Town.
Getting There
You should fly in to Barcelona-El Prat International Airport (BCN)
Lodgings
The three-day festival sees 80,000 additional people arrive into Barcelona, so early accommodations reservations are a must. The most affordable options can be found through Airbnb.
