Where to stay in Sant Cugat del Vallès

Staying in Sant Cugat del Vallès Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the main market and the old town's streets. It's a compact, well-connected area and a comfortable base if you're here for the markets.

If you'd prefer more options, Sant Cugat is just a short FGC train ride from Barcelona, so staying in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi or elsewhere in the city works well too. That said, spending a night or two in Sant Cugat itself gives you a quieter, more relaxed experience than the city.
