Transfer from airport to Barcelona

Close to the city centre (barely 15 kilometres), Barcelona-El Prat International Airport (BCN) has the benefit of being easily accessible by road or rail. In addition to taking a taxi, Aerobus and the metro are all good alternatives for a quick and affordable transfer to Plaça d'Espanya or Plaça de Catalunya, whereas the train is ideal for reaching Barcelona’s two main stations for a small price: Barcelona Sants and Passeig de Gracia.

Taxi: stations are situated in front of the exits to Terminals 1 and 2. Count between 20 and 30 minutes to reach the city centre.
Aerobus: an express bus service which links the airport with the city centre (Plaça Espana or Plaça Catalunya). Departures are approximately every 10 minutes from Terminal 1 or Terminal 2.
Bus TMB N° 46: this bus runs from 4.50 a.m. to 11.50 p.m. from both terminals. The advantage is that it stops at more places than the Aerobus but it takes a little bit longer.
