The Llobregat originates at an elevation of {{convert|1259|m|ft}} in the [[Serra del Cadí]], within the limits of [[Castellar de n'Hug]] municipality, [[Berguedà]] [[Comarques|comarca]]. The total length of the river is over {{convert|170|km|mi}}.
At [[Martorell]], the [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] [[Via Augusta]] crosses the river on the [[Pont del Diable|Devil's Bridge]], which dates from the [[High Middle Ages]] in its current form. The [[C-16 highway (Spain)|C-16 highway]] is also known as the 'Llobregat Axis' ({{langx|ca|Eix del Llobregat}}) for its largest stretch follows the valley of the Llobregat.

The river ends in the [[Mediterranean Sea]] forming the [[Llobregat Delta]], in the municipality of [[El Prat de Llobregat]], near [[Barcelona]] on the left bank. The delta provided a large extension of fertile land close to the city of Barcelona, but is now largely paved, urbanized and covered by infrastructure such as the [[Barcelona–El Prat Airport|Barcelona–El Prat international Airport]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.elprat.cat/|title=Ajuntament del Prat de Llobregat|website=Ajuntament del Prat de Llobregat}}</ref>

The Llobregat is heavily managed in its lower course and water that was previously lost to the sea is now pumped upstream to increase the natural flow, recharge the [[river delta]] [[wetlands]] and control [[Saltwater intrusion|seawater incursion]].
