Barcelona

Barcelona is the capital and the most populous city of Catalonia and the second largest city in Spain, with a population of 1,621,537. It is located on the Mediterranean coast between the mouths of the rivers Llobregat and Besòs and is bounded to the west by the Serra de Collserola ridge. Barcelona is recognised as a Global City due to its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, international trade, education and tourism.

Barcelona won the 1999 RIBA Royal Gold Medal for its architecture, the first (and as of 2009, only) time that the winner has been a city, and not an individual architect. Many of the buildings date from medieval times, some from as far back as the Roman settlement of Barcelona. Catalan Art Nouveau architecture developed between 1885 and 1950 and left an important legacy in Barcelona. A great number of these buildings are World Heritage Sites. Especially remarkable is the work of architect Antoni Gaudí, which can be seen throughout the city. His best known work is the immense but still unfinished church of the Sagrada Família.

Directions on how to get from Barcelona Airport to the City Centre

By Bus

Aerobus is the bus service that connects the airport with the centre of Barcelona leaving every 5 minutes, every day of the year, from 6:10 to 01:05.

It takes about 35 minutes to reach the city centre from both airport terminals (T1 or T2). Single tickets cost 5,05€ and return tickets 8,75€. Tickets must be bought straight to the driver on the bus.

Aerobus stops are located just outside the arrival lounges. You will easily recognise the bus by its blue colour.

The route covers strategic stops in the city and finishes in the very centric Plaça Catalunya.

More information and timetables.

By Train

From T1: Take the free shuttle bus Bustransit T1- Renfe right outside the arrivals lounge. It leaves every 7 minutes and covers the distance within the train station in about 10 minutes.

From T2: From the arrivals lounge, get out of the building and walk on your left for about 5 minutes until you find a bridge crossing the road which gives access to the station.

At the station you can buy your ticket in the automatic machines. A single ticket to the city centre costs 1,45€. You can also buy a 10 tickets card for 8,25€ which can be used in most common public transports in the city (underground, tram, buses and trains).

Trains from the Airport run every 20-30 minutes from 5:45 to 23:30 during the weekdays. Saturdays, Sundays and other public holidays, from 5:45 to 23:00.
