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.
