How to go from the airport to the center of Barcelona:

* By train: This is the fastest way. There is a RENFE line, the C10, that connects the Barcelona airport and the center of the city. Trains run every half an tour and the journey takes 25 minutes. There is a stop at Sants Station (connecting with Metro Line 3-green and Line 5-blue) and another stop at Passeig de Gràcia (connecting with Metro Line 2-purple, Line 3-green and Line 4-yellow), 5 minutes from Plaza Catalunya.

* By bus: You can also take the Aerobus, a bus that will take you from the airport to the center of Barcelona. There are two main stops in the city, Plaza España (connecting with Metro Line 1-red and Line 3-green) and Plaza Catalunya (connecting with Metro Line 1-red and Line 3-green). There is a bus every 15 minutes approximately. Check the schedules.

* By taxi: It is a comfortable but expensive way to reach the city center. The journey to the city center costs around 25-30 € , and an extra amount for every suitcase.
