-The Single 2.40€ ticket is only valid for the bus, not the train (as stated). As you've mentioned later a single train ticket from the airport is 4.60€. -For the bus, it is important to mention that you can only buy a single on the bus from the driver-drive will not accept notes larger than 10€ For now you cannot buy a ticket on the bus due to Covid restrictions. On the red TMB buses you can use their app to scan the barcode and buy one (after registration and with a credit card). A single card does not include changes to other bus line or other transport mean -Apart fro the mentioned 46 bus there are also 3 night buses serving the airport so if you arrive late or need to get to the airport early you can use them. The single is 2.40€ If you have an integrated card you can use it. All 3 lines start/end at Pl.Catalunya and run along Grand Via to the airport. N16 serves terminal T2 N17 serves terminal T1 N18 serves both terminals (and has less stops). -The T-Casual replaced the T-10 with one major change - it is a personal card now so you cannot share it with others (each passenger must have his own card). If you want to share get the T-Familiar which is an 8 rides/10€ card. In general all integrated cards (like the T-Casual and T-Familiar) can be used on all integrated transport means (TMB metro, GC metro and commuter trains, Rodalies trains, buses -not the Aerobús as it is not part of the integrated system, trams and two funiculars. -Each ride with an integrated card can include up to 3 changes to different transport means (changing inside a closed system, like the metro, without leaving the system will not count as one of the 3 changes, a a change is when you need to use the card). On each ride you have 75 from the first validation of the ride to make the changes If you reuse a transport mean (go out and back into a specific closed system or take the same bus/tram line) it will be considered as a new trip, even if you are within the 75 minutes time frame. -As mentioned, the airport metro stations have a special 5.15€ fare for a single ticket. You can use integrated cards on the airport metro with the exception of the T-Casual and T-Familiar. which will not work there. You can use other integrated cards and the HolaBCN card. The L9S metro is not very convenient as it does not reach the city center and with the required change it take about 1h. -It is important to mention that as long as special Covid measures exist thing can change. -Taxi. In general there is no flat rate but there is one exception - a Taxi between the port and the airport has a flat fee of 39€. -HolaBCN - in general I do not recommend it as Barcelona is very walkable and since most attractions are within a relatively small radius from the city center most will not use public transport as much as they think. That said, many prrfer the peace of mind of having an available card but before deciding you need to take into account a few things: Since you cannot share the cards (with regular cards you can get the T-Familiar) each of you must have a card. The HolaBCN card is not an integrated card! It is a joint venture of the tourist council and the main transit operators (TMB city buses and metro, FGC, Rodalies and trams) so it does cover most trasport options but it does not work with other operators, so you won't be able to use it on the night buses or any other bus that is not operated by TMB (like the night buses or buses to nearby places) The HolaBCN only works in zone 1. For most it's more than enough but for other zones you'll need a separate card for 2-6 zones (depending on where you need to go). For some municipalities in zone 2 you can use a regular 1 zone integrated card from zone 1 to those specific municipalities in zone 2 (for example, to visit to Colonia Guell). -And finally some good news about the train. A new and improved train service is being constructed now. The new line will include a shorter rout with double tracks, a new underground station right below T2 and a connection to T1. They are at the last phase of construction and it should open in 2022-2024 (depending who you ask). It is not cl=ear yet who will be the operator (the Generalitat want's to give it to FGC and the government to Renfe) but both promise high frequency (now there is a train every 30 minutes, FGC promised a train every 9 minutes and Renfe one every 7 minutes).
@@AL5520 thank you so much for your detailed and very informative contribution. 👍👍👍 We've corrected the copy & paste error on the text regarding the cost of the single ticket for the airport train, thanks again for pointing that out. As authors of a complete online guide to Barcelona we are more than familiar with the ins and outs of local transportation in the city. But as information overload can sometimes be a killer we went for a more simplified approach on the video here. We will deal with public transportation in Barcelona in a future video. As for ongoing developments, time has taught us (the time it took for the airport underground line to be ready!!!) to talk only about alternatives in operation. We will talk about the new trainline when it is operative, and the same goes for T-Mobilitat (it should happen soon). We agree 100% on the issue of Barcelona being a walkable city. What makes HolaBCN! attractive is that it includes the airport underground (and, from experience, we would say 99% of tourists will never venture outside zone 1). We don't dislike the metro line, our main objection is cost. But it is modern, fast, all the stations have elevators and escalators and if you are taking the red or the blue lines, it can be a valid alternative. It is far less crowded than the airport train. Once again, thanks so much.
Thank you so much for making this video. I'm going to Barcelona for my first time in a couple of days. This has helped immensely with my anxiety levels about getting from the airport to city center. I am completely new to international travel, so this is a HUGE HELP!
Amazing effort! I have been binge watching the videos for my upcoming trip and this is by far the best youtube channel. So organised and clear and informative. Thank you!
My wife and I just comeback from Barcelona, Madrid, Portugal (Lisbon and Porto) and other cities near the main cities (day trips) Thanks to your videos, our trip was a great success! We were able to plan accordingly based on your day trip videos. Thank you again for providing these amazing and helpful videos.
Thanking you very much for the information provided on all the sites that we toured, including Madrid and Barcelona. I took your advice and ordered the Barcelona Modernista card and found it to be an excellent value. Casa Batllo is now 48 Euros! So half the cost of the card- it pays for itself!! Thanks for your time and efforts to assist the tourist like myself.
Thanks so much for your video and update info. It is really useful. I just came back from Barcelona last week and your video save me a lot of money to travel between centre and Barcelona airport
Excellent, Neil, do not miss our essential guide to Barcelona, we hope it will be really helpful to you: th-cam.com/video/AJ8A4PHB248/w-d-xo.html All the best!
Hi Tony, your video so much helpful for me cause I have a plan to visit Barcelona this desember for few days and this is my first time to visit there so thank you so much for your video to help me alot information 😊
A thousand thank yous for this informative video. This is exactly the info we love to see provided when we are traveling somewhere new. We will be heading from the airport (not sure terminal just yet) to Hotel Praktik Essens with our 6 yr old and would love your thoughts on the best way to get there!
Morning, Jennifer, thanks for your kind words. Your hotel has the PERFECT location for a stay in Barcelona. The only direct transportation to the hotel door would be a taxi. The second best alternative would be the Aerobus. Take it to the final stop and then walk three blocks to the hotel. See here: goo.gl/maps/rX9oqM5vFUs9utiA9 All the best!
I appreciate the time and effort on making these videos. The information is quite detailed. It’s been mentioned that there are thefts in Barcelona, which option would you recommend to us new visitors with two large baggages in order for us to store them in areas that are within sight. I am assuming that larger overheads are only for carryon bags, and larger ones are stored at the back. If I am correct - should we be worried about luggages being taken. I might just be bing paranoid, but all that mention of barcelona heing the pickpocket capital makes us a bit worried. Amazing and helpful videos. You have a kind and trustworthy face. Thank you.
Many thanks for your kind words, Red Mouse. The existence of pickpockets in Barcelona (and many other European capitals) should be something you should be aware of, but never allow that fact to ruin your trip. You just have to be careful with your belongings. Pickpockets do not target bulky items, your luggage should be fine, they are interested in wallets and smartphones. So for as long as you carry your valuables somewhere out of (easy) reach, you'll be fine. Have a great trip!
Hello Tony!!! I have been watching your videos since March, when we booked our trip to beautiful Spain. My question; when we leave to fly home from Barcelona, we will be coming from Zaragoza by train. Will it stop at the airport or will we have to go into the city and then back to the airport? Flying TAP so guessing that will be Terminal 2. Thanks for all you do to make our travels that much more enjoyable!!! Nancy
Hello Nancy, always delighted to help. The train coming from Zaragoza will stop at Barcelona Sants station (it might continue its journey or not, depending on the train you are taking). Get off the train at Sants station where you have two options: a taxi to the airport or a train to the airport. TAP flights operate at T1, which means that if you take the train, on arrival at the airport, you will have to catch a free shuttle bus to T1. All the best!
Two weeks ago I arrived at T2 in a Saturday morning with my family (4 persons in total, each one with a bag). We had to go to Glories area, almost in the other side of the city, and we chosed the metro. It was a good choice. The metro was almost empty and we had to do just one line change. The trip leads 40 minutes. I, only, don't recomender to do this if you travel with little kids... some of the stations haven't lifts or the access to them isn't clear and, also, mechanical stairs don't exists in every metro stations.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Nuno. All the stations belonging to the airport metro line are equipped with escalators and lifts, the problem starts when you transfer to some of the old lines, like the red line, as you experience when you arrived in Barcelona. If you had taken the train to El Clot and then a short metro ride it would have cost you slight above 1€ per person and no hassle with the lack of stairs.
Very informational and helpful video! We will be a party of four with baggage (probably too much) flying in from Paris. Staying at the Petit Palace Boqueria Garden. Do you think one option is better for this situation and hotel? Thanks again for all you do!
Hi Doug, being four and with baggage, take a taxi, no doubt about it. You missed our updated (and improved) video on how to leave the airport here: th-cam.com/video/YFJG4bZYxU4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you a lot for this video. I'm going to Barcelona for my first time in a couple of days and I would be really grateful if could tell me as I am planning to buy Ola BCN card what will be faster to take the metro from terminal 2 or the Renfe train to go to Passeig de Gracia?
Hello Nicole. To be able to help you better, we would need to know the terminal you will be arriving at and the exact point at the Passeig de Gracia you want to go to (the avenue is served by different metro lines).
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Yes gladly, my girlfriend and I want to go to Barcelona for 4 days at the end of December. We want to buy the Barcelona card. Is this recommended for 4 days in Barcelona and can I buy it at the airport or online beforehand? thank you in advance!
@@chrisbreitschuh2634 Hi Chris, we don't think the Barcelona card is a good deal. The Hola Barcelona cards (just transport) are much better, you can purchase them with a discount here and collect them on arrival at the airport: bcnshop.barcelonaturisme.com/shopv3/es/product/947/tarjetas-de-transporte.html?o=h&w=3837-1444 But they are just transport cards. All the best.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you very very very much! This is the perfect customer service! Then I'll buy the card from you and then look where I have to pick it up at the airport! Have a good time ! (:
@@chrisbreitschuh2634 That's great, Chris. You can pick the card from the Tourism Office in the arrivals lounge of T1 (you'll see it as you leave the restricted area of the terminal and enter the main hall. It's opened Monday to Friday from 8 to 20:30 and Saturdays and Sundays, from 8:30 to 20:30. All the best!
If you are traveling light, take the airport train to Barcelona Passeig de Gracia and change to metro line 4. Travel to Selva de Mar, a station a few minutes away from your hotel. If you are traveling with bulky luggage, take a taxi.
There is no direct transportation we are aware off, other than a taxi. Alternatively, you could take the airport train to Bellvitge and then take train line R2S to Platja de Castelldefels and then walk 15 minutes to your hotel.
Hi Tony! We are so excited to travel to Barcelona and other parts of Spain! Your content has put my anxieties at ease and I really appreciate all your detail! Was wondering what you would suggest for transportation for a few days in bcn going to the Barrio Gótico? Thank you again for all your videos they are so helpful!
Hi Christine, glad to hear we are being useful. If you are traveling light, you could take the airport train to Barcelona Passeig de Gràcia, and change to metro line 3, traveling to Urquinaona station. From there, you would walk 10 minutes to your hotel. If you are traveling heavy, take a taxi! All the best!
Thank you, this was indeed very helpful. We are traveling to Barcelona in May 2023, and being older we think the Aerobus will be the best way to go, being on a tight budget!. And then we must go to Hotel Sagrada Familia, C de Corsega,. I think we can walk there then? We are traveling light.
Hello Alta, the Aerobús won't leave you nowhere near your hotel. If you are traveling light and saving is an issue, take the airport train to Barcelona-Sants where you will change to metro line 5 (blue), stopping at Sagrada Familia station, near the hotel. If you pay for the trip with a T-casual card, it won't set you back more that 1€ and a few cents, as only a trip will be discounted from your card.
Your videos are wonderful in helping my wife and me plan our Barcelona vacation. I enjoy that you are very factual and offer sensible tips to travelers. I have a question regarding the airport train. My return flight departs from BCN at 06:15AM. Does the airport train operate 24 hours a day, or do you recommend taking a taxi to the airport?
Hi Paul, delighted to hear we are being helpful. The train doesn't operate 24 hours, and with the first service you won't make it in time for your flight. You could either take the Aerobús (24 hours) or a taxi. Next Sunday we'll be publishing an updated version of this video. All the best!
Thanks so much for this, it will be my first time going to Barcelona so this has been so helpful. Is uber widely used over there? And how does it compare to regular taxis in terms of fares and reliability?
Hi Sonia, Uber is battling local regulations in Barcelona. It operated in the city, then it had to go and now it's just come back, but operating under very strict limitations. A new law being approved soon might mean it might have to leave again. We only used Uber once in Barcelona, ended up being much more expensive than a regular taxi.
Hi Francine, if you are traveling light, you could take the airport metro to the end line at Zona Universitaria and then change to line green, traveling to Drassanes, near your hotel. If you are traveling with luggage, take a taxi.
Thank you for the Great workWe are going to Barcelona on October, 4 of Us. I would like to know how to go to this hotel Europark from Barcelona airport and which way is the best? Thank you
Hello Eve. If you are four, a taxi will be the fastest, most comfortable and safe means of getting to your hotel. The alternative would be the airport train to Barcelona-Passeig de Gracia and walk 10 minutes to your hotel. All the best.
Hello there! You have three good options options: a) if you are traveling with bulky luggage, the taxi. b) the airport metro to Collblanc station and then change to line 5 (dark blue), direction Vall d'Hebron, and travel to Sagrada Familia station. It's then a five minute walk to the hotel. c) the cheapest option (paying with a T-casual card). The airport train to Barcelona Sants station and then the metro line 5 (dark blue), direction Vall d'Hebron, and travel to Sagrada Familia station. All the best!
Hi Tony, that was by far the best airport transportation videos I had ever watched! (Clapping Sounds). Thanks for the great effort. Can I ask what is the best way to Liceu metro? I will be staying in Hotel Ramblas Intl, thanks!
Hi there, Angel, thanks for your kind words, we're delighted to hear you found the video useful. We intend to improve the video even further but we are waiting for a major change in the way tickets are paid for in Barcelona, that should happen sometime before 2023, we believe. Two options to go to Liceu: - the fastest, most comfortable and more expensive: a taxi. Expect to pay around 30€. - the cheapest, the airport train from T2 to Barcelona-Passeig de Gràcia and then metro line 2 direct to Liceu metro station. If you pay for you ticket with a T-casual card you will spend just 1.13€ to complete the journey. All the best.
thank you very much sir for this helpful video.. please would you advice me how to get from the airport to bus station ESTACION DE NORD?! I would be very grateful.
Hello there. If you are traveling light, take the airport metro to Torrassa and change to line RED. Travel to ARC DE TRIOMF, which is next to the Estacionalidad del Nord.
Hola! What is the best mode of transportation if traveling from BCN to Hyatt Regency Barcelona Tower? from the hotel to the city center? from the hotel to the cruise terminal? Thank you in advance for the information. We appreciate your very informative videos.
Hi, you've missed our most recent video on the topic, see it here: th-cam.com/video/PBu0BxVkX1I/w-d-xo.html In spite of its name, the hotel is not in Barcelona but in neighboring L'Hospitalet de Llobregat. Best transport both to the hotel and the cruise terminal will be a taxi. All the best.
Thank you for this video. We will be visiting Barcelona next spring and would like to take the train or the subway from the airport to the Jaume 1 station. Would you share with me instructions to do so?
Tony, great video.Thumbs up.I had some questions in mind as I was planning to stay in Barcelona for 3 months 1)What is the cheapest way to reach Universitat, 08007. And the routes to get there. 2)What is the cheapest way to reach Carrer de Sant Mateu, 24, 08950 Esplugues de Llobregat and Carrer de l'Escorial, 08024 from Universitat, 08007 for daily commute for three months?
Hello, Anand, welcome to the channel. 1) take the airport train to Barcelona Sants. Then the metro green line to Espanya. And then the metro red line to Universitat. This is a good option if you are not carrying luggage. If you are carrying luggage, take the Aerobus, it has a stop at Universitat (the last stop before the final stop of the line). 2) it will all depend on how many trips you will be taking. But is seems as if T-usual could be the best option for you. Have a look at the video where we explain the different types of tickets in Barcelona: th-cam.com/video/T2n160pWqJQ/w-d-xo.html All the best!
Love your videos. Very informative. I'm coming to Barcelona next week and staying at hotel rialto in the gothic quarters and was planning on getting a hola barcelona ticket. Would a direct metro get me to my hotel or will I need to change. If so what stations do I use. Thankyou
Thank you, Nasreen. There is no direct route to your hotel. If you were traveling light, you could take the airport metro to its final station ZONA UNIVERSITÀRIA and then change to line green, traveling to LICEU. From Liceu station, you would walk five minutes to your hotel. All the best.
Thank you so much! Your videos are so helpful. Can you please advise on the best way to get from T1 to Le Lesseps Station in the Gracia Neighbourhood. Thank you from Australia🙏🏻
Hello, we invite you to see our updated video on how to leave the airport: th-cam.com/video/YFJG4bZYxU4/w-d-xo.html If you're traveling light, take the airport metro to its final station and then change to the green line, which will take you to Lesseps. Otherwise, take a taxi. All the best.
Hi Tony! I’m a new subscriber. I’ve been watching your videos since we booked our trip! We will be arriving at T2, and hotel will be Hotel Carla (Room mate Carla, I believe) Do you have an approximate price for a cab and if I take the train to my destination, what would it be? Thanks and appreciate your help to newbies like us!
Hello Cheryl, be very welcome to the channel! The price of a cab to your hotel would be of approximately 30€ (depending on the traffic). If you were traveling light, you could take the airport train to Barcelona-Passeig de Gràcia and then walk 10 minutes to your hotel as shown here: goo.gl/maps/yrKgfHWaHBf6EX85A The sidewalks are wide and safe. If you paid for the train with a T-casual card it would cost you slight above 1€ per person, an incredible deal! All the best!
Thank you for this informative video Tony. I'm planning to stay at Hotel Catalonia Passeig de Gràcia, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes 644. Hoping the Aerobus is only a few blocks away for dropping off. I've subscribed and will check out your other videos. Thanks so much:)
Hello Beatrice, be very welcome to the channel. Your hotel has a splendid location! It's a short walk from the final stop of the Aerobus, you will walk through wide pavements (sidewalks). All the best!
Hola, Maram. The Hola Barcelona covers the 46 bus indeed, but if you had the pass, you'd be much better off taking the airport metro. We have a video on the Hola Barcelona pass here: th-cam.com/video/gmLm0uu1ojQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi Tony, I am going to Barcelona next week! We are so excited to have found your videos. We plan to follow your advice. We are staying at Hostal Girona, which looks to be near Placa Catalunya on Carrer de Girona. We were thinking of taking the aerobus or the aerotrain. Would it be reasonable to walk the rest of the way from either the train station or Placa Cataluna? Thanks so much!
Hi Janice, you haven't seen our comment announcing our up-to-date video on the topic here: th-cam.com/video/YFJG4bZYxU4/w-d-xo.html There is no aerotrain as such. The train will leave you very far from the hotel. It's less that 15 minutes walk from the Aerobus final stop. All the best.
Hey, I’m coming to Barcelona in march and I will be staying at Ibis Styles Barcelona City Bogatell. Would you like to tell me the best way to get there from T1? Fanstastic video and best regards!
Hello there, Przemek! If you are traveling light and want to spend just 1,13€ to get to your hotel, you could catch the airport train to Barcelona-Passeig de Gràcia and there change to metro line 4 (direction La Pau). The railway station and the metro station are linked throughout a really long underground corridor. The station closest to the hotel is Bogatell. You will spend 1,13€ if you pay for the trip with a T-casual ticket. Otherwise, take a taxi. All the best!
Hi There, this is so informative. Thank you. My husband and I are traveling to Barcelona for the first time in the next 2-3 months. Our accomodation is near Av d'Icària. What would be the best mode of transport to take to this area? We are also needing to travel to the cruise port from the accommodation which mode of transport would you recommend for this part? Hope you don't mind all the questions. :)
Hello Nicole, we don't mind questions at all! To get to your hotel (it helps to know the precise location, including the street number) we advise you to take a taxi. We have a video explaining how to reach the cruise terminal here: th-cam.com/video/eRbNEb4xpg0/w-d-xo.html All the best!
Thank you for the video. Would you tell me the best way to get from the airport to the Hotel Colonial in the Gothic Quarter? I would prefer the modes of transportation in this order, train/subway, bus, taxi. Thank you so much for your help.
Hi Jay, welcome to the channel. Thank you for defining your preferences, that makes it much easier. If you are after a super cheap alternative, that would be the airport train to Barcelona - Passeig de Gràcia station and then the yellow metro line to Jaume I station, five minutes from your hotel. If you pay with a T-casual card, the whole trip will cost you slightly above 1€. All the best!
This is exactly what I've been looking for, thank you! Could I please ask your recommendation for getting from the airport to llacuna station or close to that area? Thanks!
Hi Chesca, if you are traveling light, you could ride the airport train to Barcelona-Passeig de Gràcia and then change to the metro line 4 (yellow), taking you directly to Llacuna. If you pay with a T-casual card, the whole trip will cost you slightly over 1€.
@@chesca7295 Hi, Chesca, were did you buy ticket from? TMB says T-casual ticket cannot be collected from the metro ticket machines at the airport. Does railway have some kind their ticket machines?
Great informative video! I have a question, my family of 4 has a very early (6 am) flight out of Barcelona later this month, would the easiest option to transport to the airport that early be a taxi? Since the metro doesn’t operate that early in the morning…
Hi Nate, the easiest option would be, by far, the taxi. As an alternative, and if you were staying somewhere along the Aerobus line, it now runs 24/7. All the best!
This was a very helpful video! I'm arriving 00.10 on Sunday morning, do the buses still run from the airport at this time? I am staying at the Paxton Barcelona in El Poblenou, if there is a bus on I understand i'll need to take the bus to the centre then hop onto the metro.
Hi Michael, the Airport Bus runs 24/7. But you are quite fortunate, as Barcelona metro, on the night from Saturday to Sunday, runs the whole night (see here www.tmb.cat/en/barcelona/operating-hours-metro-bus ). So you could take the airport metro to Torrassa, change to line 1 and travel to Urquinaona where you would change to line 4 and travel to Llacuna, near your hotel. Bear in mind if you don't travel light, there are quite a few stairs to climb at Urquinaona station. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Muchas Gracias! It's less stress now knowing there are a range of options to choose from! I'll warn my partner of the stairs at Urquinaona!
Hi Linda, thanks a lot. If you had the choice, we would choose a different hotel, the location of the Novotel Sant Joan Despi is not good at all, quite far from the center of Barcelona. There are no direct transport routes to the hotel, your best choice is a taxi.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Is there another one you would suggest? This was suggested by my travel agent in Australia.

We have a video showing the best areas to stay in Barcelona: th-cam.com/video/Ra3CHOfcmK8/w-d-xo.html In your case, given that it's going to be a very short stay, we would look for something in or around Plaza de Cataluña, which is incredibly convenient and close to nearly everything.

Thanks, Rinatsm. If you are travelling light, take the airport metro line to Torrassa and then change two line red. Travel to Arc de Triomf, close to your hotel. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thanks for the suggestion. My original plan was to buy the T-Familiar card, take Bus 46 to Placa Espanya, then take Metro L1 from Fonda to Arc de Triomf. I believe the bus journey alone will easily takes close to an hour excluding the waiting time. Your suggestion definitely helps to speed up the whole process. By the way, may I ask if the T Familia card can also be used for airport metro line?
T-Familiar is not valid in the airport metro. Have a look at the video where we present the main tickets in Barcelona: th-cam.com/video/CmbDUgf32Cw/w-d-xo.html All the best!
Hello tony. Your videos on Barcelona have been the most helpful on youtube. Great work! I need to confirm if the T Casual card can be used from BCN T2 to Passeig de Gracia on the Renfre. I am reading conflicting information. It seems they no longer allow airport travel on the T Casual.
Hi Mary, glad to hear our information has been useful. I don't know which sources you have checked, could you let us know where you heard T-casual is no longer valid on the train? As far as we are aware, the T-casual card continues to be valid on the train leaving from the airport. It cannot be used on the underground, but it is valid on the train. It is part of the integrated transport policy of the Greater Barcelona area, in place for more than a decade, and we are not aware of any changes to that policy. All the best!
Thank you! When we have a specific address, we can be quite precise in our answers, but as you have only given us the name of a wide area of Barcelona, the best way to reach the area would be a taxi, which should run smoothly during Sunday traffic.
Hi Tony! I am a big fan of your channel and am using it to plan my trip to Spain next month. I am staying at Hotel Catalonia Gran Via BCN. What is the best way to go from the Airport ( T1) to my hotel? The Aerobus has a stop at Gran Via - Borrell. Is that walking distance from my hotel? What about the return journey to the Airport T1 from the hotel? I am told the stop is at Carrer Sepulveda. Is that also close to the hotel? Please let me know so that I can plan my trip. Many thanks in advance.
Hello there, Aditya. If you are not traveling with heavy luggage, the Aerobes stops are within walking distance of your hotel. Both coming to the airport and going to the airport. Have a great trip.
Tony, thumbs up on your informative video. I just subscribed. I will be visiting Barcelona next week. I have a questions, If I purchased a t-casual card for ( 10 trips ) $11.35, can I used it to take the A-1 bus from the airport to to plaza de espana and transfer to the L3 metro. It would cost me 1.35 euros each ride, is this correct. thank you.
Hi Ed, many thanks for your words. The airport shuttle bus works independently from the public transport system in Barcelona, and for that reason the T-casual card cannot be used on board the A1 bus. With a T-casual card you can take the airport train. You could ride the train to the city and then transfer to the L3 metro line. If you transfer to the metro line within 70 minutes after your entrance to the train station at the airport, you will only use a single credit from your T-casual card. In other words, getting to your accommodation in Barcelona will only set you back 1.35€, not bad at all!

Thank you for your informative video. I'm still a bit confused as to which transportation would be best from the airport to my hotel on La Ramblas 🤔 ( Citadine Ramblas Hotel). I'd appreciate it if you could assist with a suggestion.
Hello there. You could take the Aerobus to its final stop at Plaza de Cataluña and then walk 5 minutes to your hotel. If you are traveling with large luggage, take a taxi. All the best!
We are going to be arriving in Barcelona in a few weeks. Do the Taxi's accept credit cards? Also is Uber available at the airport? Thank you so much for your help. I enjoyed your videos very much.
Check our most recent video on how to leave the airport here: th-cam.com/video/YFJG4bZYxU4/w-d-xo.html There we deal with the issue of the "best" way of leaving the airport. In your case, it would be a taxi.
Great video. Very informative, but I am going to take you up on your offer. we will be in Barcelona on March 23 2022. If you could give me a detailed direction from Barcelona airport to Oriente Atiram Hotel Barcelona, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
Thank you! If you are traveling light (otherwise, grab a taxi), you could take the airport train to Barcelona Sants and then change to the underground green line and travel to Liceu station, very close to your hotel. All the best.
Good day. I find your videos very helpful, thank you. We will be traveling to Barcelona, in September, for 2 days and then to Mallorca. In Barcelona we will stay in the Gothic Quarter at Hostal Levante. What transport will be the best to get us the closest to our accommodation?
Hi there, you have watched our old video on the topic, for the up-to-date content, check out this video: th-cam.com/video/YFJG4bZYxU4/w-d-xo.html The only direct transportation to your hotel is a taxi. If you are traveling light, you could take the airport metro to the final station and then change to the green line and travel to LICEU, less than 10 minutes from your hotel.
Hi, thank you for such an informative video! I am arriving to Barcelona tomorrow and my apartment is located near La Sagrada Familia. What airport transportation do you recommend? I would prefer subway or train rather than bus and taxi. Kind regards.
Hello, Anamarija. You could take the airport metro (subway) to station COLLBLANC, where you could change to line 5, that will take you to station SAGRADA FAMILIA, right next to the church. Have a great trip.
Hello, thank you for helping ☺️ do I understand right that if we have the T-casual of T-familiar tickets, we can use the train or the bus to the city from the airport, but not the metro?
You can use the metro and local bus 46, not the Aerobus. We have just published an up-to-date video on how to leave the airport, check it out here: th-cam.com/video/YFJG4bZYxU4/w-d-xo.html
Great video. Love the music. Will be travelling next month and staying at hotel near Casa Mila at Passeig de Gracia. Is the train the best way? Thank you.
Hi! Our hotel at Passeig de Gracia will be only a few steps away from Casa Mila and we will be carrying 2 full size luggages. I wonder if it is worth the hassle of taking the Renfe R2 train. Not sure how much they cost. Perhaps taxi is worth it? Thank you.
If you take the train you will have to walk three large blocks. If you are up to it, it can be an option. But bear in mind getting on and off the train with lots of luggage can be a bit tricky. You can check all the transportation prices on the fixed commentary below the video. A taxi will be far more comfortable, quick and relaxed.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Ola! I think we just realized that the better hotel is Royal Ramblas (in La Rambla) street which is more central to everything. How would you recommend getting here from the terminal 1 airport? Thanks!
If you are traveling light and intend on saving, take the airport train at T2 to Barcelona-Passeig de Gràcia and then the yellow metro line to Bogatell. Otherwise, take a taxi.
Thank you Tony! I will be visiting Barcelona next month. I am wondering how to get from the Airport to Metropolitan Sagrada Familia (408Provenza, Barcelona, Catalu¿¿a)? Thanks again!
Hello, Mayar. If you don't want to take a taxi, the 2nd best option would be the airport metro. Take the metro to station Collblanc, where you will change to the L5 (blue) line and travel to the station Sagrada Familia. The station is five minutes away from your hotel. Have a great trip!
Hi there, you have seen our old video on the topic, our up-to-date video is here: th-cam.com/video/YFJG4bZYxU4/w-d-xo.html The left luggage services at the airport are not working right now.
thank you for all videos thus far that I viewed its very educational. quest what would be the best transportation to U232 Hotel Barcelona? thank you in advanced
Hi Sharon, we have an updated video on how to leave the airport: th-cam.com/video/PBu0BxVkX1I/w-d-xo.html For U232 (lovely hotel), the fastest and most comfortable option would be a taxi.

✅ check out our SELF-GUIDED travel guides on BARCELONA here ➡ travelguidesspainandportugal.com/product-category/barcelona/
-The Single 2.40€ ticket is only valid for the bus, not the train (as stated). As you've mentioned later a single train ticket from the airport is 4.60€.
-For the bus, it is important to mention that you can only buy a single on the bus from the driver-drive will not accept notes larger than 10€
For now you cannot buy a ticket on the bus due to Covid restrictions. On the red TMB buses you can use their app to scan the barcode and buy one (after registration and with a credit card). A single card does not include changes to other bus line or other transport mean
-Apart fro the mentioned 46 bus there are also 3 night buses serving the airport so if you arrive late or need to get to the airport early you can use them. The single is 2.40€ If you have an integrated card you can use it.
All 3 lines start/end at Pl.Catalunya and run along Grand Via to the airport.
N16 serves terminal T2
N17 serves terminal T1
N18 serves both terminals (and has less stops).
-The T-Casual replaced the T-10 with one major change - it is a personal card now so you cannot share it with others (each passenger must have his own card). If you want to share get the T-Familiar which is an 8 rides/10€ card.
In general all integrated cards (like the T-Casual and T-Familiar) can be used on all integrated transport means (TMB metro, GC metro and commuter trains, Rodalies trains, buses -not the Aerobús as it is not part of the integrated system, trams and two funiculars.
-Each ride with an integrated card can include up to 3 changes to different transport means (changing inside a closed system, like the metro, without leaving the system will not count as one of the 3 changes, a a change is when you need to use the card).
On each ride you have 75 from the first validation of the ride to make the changes
If you reuse a transport mean (go out and back into a specific closed system or take the same bus/tram line) it will be considered as a new trip, even if you are within the 75 minutes time frame.
-As mentioned, the airport metro stations have a special 5.15€ fare for a single ticket. You can use integrated cards on the airport metro with the exception of the T-Casual and T-Familiar. which will not work there. You can use other integrated cards and the HolaBCN card.
The L9S metro is not very convenient as it does not reach the city center and with the required change it take about 1h.
-It is important to mention that as long as special Covid measures exist thing can change.
-Taxi. In general there is no flat rate but there is one exception - a Taxi between the port and the airport has a flat fee of 39€.
-HolaBCN - in general I do not recommend it as Barcelona is very walkable and since most attractions are within a relatively small radius from the city center most will not use public transport as much as they think.
That said, many prrfer the peace of mind of having an available card but before deciding you need to take into account a few things:
Since you cannot share the cards (with regular cards you can get the T-Familiar) each of you must have a card.
The HolaBCN card is not an integrated card! It is a joint venture of the tourist council and the main transit operators (TMB city buses and metro, FGC, Rodalies and trams) so it does cover most trasport options but it does not work with other operators, so you won't be able to use it on the night buses or any other bus that is not operated by TMB (like the night buses or buses to nearby places)
The HolaBCN only works in zone 1. For most it's more than enough but for other zones you'll need a separate card for 2-6 zones (depending on where you need to go). For some municipalities in zone 2 you can use a regular 1 zone integrated card from zone 1 to those specific municipalities in zone 2 (for example, to visit to Colonia Guell).
-And finally some good news about the train.
A new and improved train service is being constructed now. The new line will include a shorter rout with double tracks, a new underground station right below T2 and a connection to T1. They are at the last phase of construction and it should open in 2022-2024 (depending who you ask). It is not cl=ear yet who will be the operator (the Generalitat want's to give it to FGC and the government to Renfe) but both promise high frequency (now there is a train every 30 minutes, FGC promised a train every 9 minutes and Renfe one every 7 minutes).
@@AL5520 thank you so much for your detailed and very informative contribution. 👍👍👍 We've corrected the copy & paste error on the text regarding the cost of the single ticket for the airport train, thanks again for pointing that out.
As authors of a complete online guide to Barcelona we are more than familiar with the ins and outs of local transportation in the city. But as information overload can sometimes be a killer we went for a more simplified approach on the video here. We will deal with public transportation in Barcelona in a future video.
As for ongoing developments, time has taught us (the time it took for the airport underground line to be ready!!!) to talk only about alternatives in operation. We will talk about the new trainline when it is operative, and the same goes for T-Mobilitat (it should happen soon).
We agree 100% on the issue of Barcelona being a walkable city. What makes HolaBCN! attractive is that it includes the airport underground (and, from experience, we would say 99% of tourists will never venture outside zone 1). We don't dislike the metro line, our main objection is cost. But it is modern, fast, all the stations have elevators and escalators and if you are taking the red or the blue lines, it can be a valid alternative. It is far less crowded than the airport train.
Once again, thanks so much.
For the Hola Travel card, does it include Aerobus?
@@hakilita29 no, it doesn't.
Thank you so much for making this video. I'm going to Barcelona for my first time in a couple of days. This has helped immensely with my anxiety levels about getting from the airport to city center. I am completely new to international travel, so this is a HUGE HELP!

Thanking you very much for the information provided on all the sites that we toured, including Madrid and Barcelona.

Great to hear that, Augusto, muchas gracias para ti también.
I appreciate the time and effort on making these videos. The information is quite detailed. It’s been mentioned that there are thefts in Barcelona, which option would you recommend to us new visitors with two large baggages in order for us to store them in areas that are within sight. I am assuming that larger overheads are only for carryon bags, and larger ones are stored at the back. If I am correct - should we be worried about luggages being taken. I might just be bing paranoid, but all
that mention of barcelona heing the pickpocket capital makes us a bit worried. Amazing and helpful videos. You have a kind and trustworthy face. Thank you.
Many thanks for your kind words, Red Mouse. The existence of pickpockets in Barcelona (and many other European capitals) should be something you should be aware of, but never allow that fact to ruin your trip. You just have to be careful with your belongings. Pickpockets do not target bulky items, your luggage should be fine, they are interested in wallets and smartphones. So for as long as you carry your valuables somewhere out of (easy) reach, you'll be fine. Have a great trip!
Hello Tony!!! I have been watching your videos since March, when we booked our trip to beautiful Spain. My question; when we leave to fly home from Barcelona, we will be coming from Zaragoza by train. Will it stop at the airport or will we have to go into the city and then back to the airport? Flying TAP so guessing that will be Terminal 2. Thanks for all you do to make our travels that much more enjoyable!!! Nancy
Hello Nancy, always delighted to help. The train coming from Zaragoza will stop at Barcelona Sants station (it might continue its journey or not, depending on the train you are taking). Get off the train at Sants station where you have two options: a taxi to the airport or a train to the airport. TAP flights operate at T1, which means that if you take the train, on arrival at the airport, you will have to catch a free shuttle bus to T1. All the best!
Well done video. Thank you for putting all the information together!
Thanks, Jason.
Two weeks ago I arrived at T2 in a Saturday morning with my family (4 persons in total, each one with a bag). We had to go to Glories area, almost in the other side of the city, and we chosed the metro. It was a good choice. The metro was almost empty and we had to do just one line change. The trip leads 40 minutes. I, only, don't recomender to do this if you travel with little kids... some of the stations haven't lifts or the access to them isn't clear and, also, mechanical stairs don't exists in every metro stations.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Nuno. All the stations belonging to the airport metro line are equipped with escalators and lifts, the problem starts when you transfer to some of the old lines, like the red line, as you experience when you arrived in Barcelona. If you had taken the train to El Clot and then a short metro ride it would have cost you slight above 1€ per person and no hassle with the lack of stairs.
Very Helpful

If you are traveling light, take the airport train to Barcelona Passeig de Gracia and change to metro line 4. Travel to Selva de Mar, a station a few minutes away from your hotel. If you are traveling with bulky luggage, take a taxi.
Thank you for the detailed video. It is very helpful. Would you have input on getting from the airport to Castelldefels?
There is no direct transportation we are aware off, other than a taxi. Alternatively, you could take the airport train to Bellvitge and then take train line R2S to Platja de Castelldefels and then walk 15 minutes to your hotel.
Hi Tony! We are so excited to travel to Barcelona and other parts of Spain! Your content has put my anxieties at ease and I really appreciate all your detail! Was wondering what you would suggest for transportation for a few days in bcn going to the Barrio Gótico? Thank you again for all your videos they are so helpful!
Hi Christine, glad to hear we are being useful. If you are traveling light, you could take the airport train to Barcelona Passeig de Gràcia, and change to metro line 3, traveling to Urquinaona station. From there, you would walk 10 minutes to your hotel. If you are traveling heavy, take a taxi! All the best!
Thank you, this was indeed very helpful. We are traveling to Barcelona in May 2023, and being older we think the Aerobus will be the best way to go, being on a tight budget!. And then we must go to Hotel Sagrada Familia, C de Corsega,. I think we can walk there then? We are traveling light.
Hello Alta, the Aerobús won't leave you nowhere near your hotel. If you are traveling light and saving is an issue, take the airport train to Barcelona-Sants where you will change to metro line 5 (blue), stopping at Sagrada Familia station, near the hotel. If you pay for the trip with a T-casual card, it won't set you back more that 1€ and a few cents, as only a trip will be discounted from your card.

Your videos are wonderful in helping my wife and me plan our Barcelona vacation. I enjoy that you are very factual and offer sensible tips to travelers. I have a question regarding the airport train. My return flight departs from BCN at 06:15AM. Does the airport train operate 24 hours a day, or do you recommend taking a taxi to the airport?
Hi Paul, delighted to hear we are being helpful. The train doesn't operate 24 hours, and with the first service you won't make it in time for your flight. You could either take the Aerobús (24 hours) or a taxi. Next Sunday we'll be publishing an updated version of this video. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you for the advice. I look forward to seeing the updated video!
Thanks so much for this, it will be my first time going to Barcelona so this has been so helpful. Is uber widely used over there? And how does it compare to regular taxis in terms of fares and reliability?
Hi Sonia, Uber is battling local regulations in Barcelona. It operated in the city, then it had to go and now it's just come back, but operating under very strict limitations. A new law being approved soon might mean it might have to leave again. We only used Uber once in Barcelona, ended up being much more expensive than a regular taxi.
Hi, great video. Not sure how to get to my accommodation which is carrer De l’est, 19
Hi Francine, if you are traveling light, you could take the airport metro to the end line at Zona Universitaria and then change to line green, traveling to Drassanes, near your hotel. If you are traveling with luggage, take a taxi.
Thank you for the Great workWe are going to Barcelona on October, 4 of Us. I would like to know how to go to this hotel Europark from Barcelona airport and which way is the best? Thank you
Hello Eve. If you are four, a taxi will be the fastest, most comfortable and safe means of getting to your hotel. The alternative would be the airport train to Barcelona-Passeig de Gracia and walk 10 minutes to your hotel. All the best.
Hi Tony ! May i ask what would be the best way to go from the Airport to Hotel Ibis Barcelona Centro Sagrada Familia?
Hello there! You have three good options options:
a) if you are traveling with bulky luggage, the taxi.
b) the airport metro to Collblanc station and then change to line 5 (dark blue), direction Vall d'Hebron, and travel to Sagrada Familia station. It's then a five minute walk to the hotel.
c) the cheapest option (paying with a T-casual card). The airport train to Barcelona Sants station and then the metro line 5 (dark blue), direction Vall d'Hebron, and travel to Sagrada Familia station.
All the best!
Hi Tony, that was by far the best airport transportation videos I had ever watched! (Clapping Sounds). Thanks for the great effort. Can I ask what is the best way to Liceu metro? I will be staying in Hotel Ramblas Intl, thanks!
Hi there, Angel, thanks for your kind words, we're delighted to hear you found the video useful. We intend to improve the video even further but we are waiting for a major change in the way tickets are paid for in Barcelona, that should happen sometime before 2023, we believe. Two options to go to Liceu:
- the fastest, most comfortable and more expensive: a taxi. Expect to pay around 30€.
- the cheapest, the airport train from T2 to Barcelona-Passeig de Gràcia and then metro line 2 direct to Liceu metro station. If you pay for you ticket with a T-casual card you will spend just 1.13€ to complete the journey.
All the best.
thank you very much sir for this helpful video.. please would you advice me how to get from the airport to bus station ESTACION DE NORD?! I would be very grateful.
Hello there. If you are traveling light, take the airport metro to Torrassa and change to line RED. Travel to ARC DE TRIOMF, which is next to the Estacionalidad del Nord.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you sir I appreciate it
Hola! What is the best mode of transportation if traveling from BCN to Hyatt Regency Barcelona Tower? from the hotel to the city center? from the hotel to the cruise terminal? Thank you in advance for the information. We appreciate your very informative videos.
Hi, you've missed our most recent video on the topic, see it here: th-cam.com/video/PBu0BxVkX1I/w-d-xo.html In spite of its name, the hotel is not in Barcelona but in neighboring L'Hospitalet de Llobregat. Best transport both to the hotel and the cruise terminal will be a taxi. All the best.
Thank you for this video. We will be visiting Barcelona next spring and would like to take the train or the subway from the airport to the Jaume 1 station. Would you share with me instructions to do so?
Hi Steve. You should take the airport train to Barcelona-Passeig de Gracia and then change to metro line 4 that will take you directly to Jaume I.
Tony, great video.Thumbs up.I had some questions in mind as I was planning to stay in Barcelona for 3 months
1)What is the cheapest way to reach Universitat, 08007.
And the routes to get there.
2)What is the cheapest way to reach Carrer de Sant Mateu, 24, 08950 Esplugues de Llobregat and Carrer de l'Escorial, 08024 from Universitat, 08007 for daily commute for three months?
Hello, Anand, welcome to the channel.
1) take the airport train to Barcelona Sants. Then the metro green line to Espanya. And then the metro red line to Universitat. This is a good option if you are not carrying luggage. If you are carrying luggage, take the Aerobus, it has a stop at Universitat (the last stop before the final stop of the line).
2) it will all depend on how many trips you will be taking. But is seems as if T-usual could be the best option for you. Have a look at the video where we explain the different types of tickets in Barcelona: th-cam.com/video/T2n160pWqJQ/w-d-xo.html
All the best!
Love your videos. Very informative. I'm coming to Barcelona next week and staying at hotel rialto in the gothic quarters and was planning on getting a hola barcelona ticket. Would a direct metro get me to my hotel or will I need to change. If so what stations do I use. Thankyou
Thank you, Nasreen. There is no direct route to your hotel. If you were traveling light, you could take the airport metro to its final station ZONA UNIVERSITÀRIA and then change to line green, traveling to LICEU. From Liceu station, you would walk five minutes to your hotel. All the best.
Thank you so much! Your videos are so helpful. Can you please advise on the best way to get from T1 to Le Lesseps Station in the Gracia Neighbourhood. Thank you from Australia🙏🏻
Hello, we invite you to see our updated video on how to leave the airport: th-cam.com/video/YFJG4bZYxU4/w-d-xo.html If you're traveling light, take the airport metro to its final station and then change to the green line, which will take you to Lesseps. Otherwise, take a taxi. All the best.
Hi Tony! I’m a new subscriber. I’ve been watching your videos since we booked our trip! We will be arriving at T2, and hotel will be Hotel Carla (Room mate Carla, I believe) Do you have an approximate price for a cab and if I take the train to my destination, what would it be? Thanks and appreciate your help to newbies like us!
Hello Cheryl, be very welcome to the channel! The price of a cab to your hotel would be of approximately 30€ (depending on the traffic). If you were traveling light, you could take the airport train to Barcelona-Passeig de Gràcia and then walk 10 minutes to your hotel as shown here: goo.gl/maps/yrKgfHWaHBf6EX85A The sidewalks are wide and safe. If you paid for the train with a T-casual card it would cost you slight above 1€ per person, an incredible deal! All the best!
Thank you for your videos. They are very informative. Can one use T-Casual to travel from BCN Sants to El Prat T2 by train?
Hi Don, yes you can.
Thank you for this informative video Tony. I'm planning to stay at Hotel Catalonia Passeig de Gràcia, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes 644. Hoping the Aerobus is only a few blocks away for dropping off. I've subscribed and will check out your other videos. Thanks so much:)
Hello Beatrice, be very welcome to the channel. Your hotel has a splendid location! It's a short walk from the final stop of the Aerobus, you will walk through wide pavements (sidewalks). All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal oh that's so good to hear. Thanks so much!
Hola! Thank you so much for the video. Quick question though, does the holaBCN cover the 46 bus?
Hola, Maram. The Hola Barcelona covers the 46 bus indeed, but if you had the pass, you'd be much better off taking the airport metro. We have a video on the Hola Barcelona pass here: th-cam.com/video/gmLm0uu1ojQ/w-d-xo.html
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you! The bus actually makes a stop near my hotel :D
Hi Tony, I am going to Barcelona next week! We are so excited to have found your videos. We plan to follow your advice. We are staying at Hostal Girona, which looks to be near Placa Catalunya on Carrer de Girona. We were thinking of taking the aerobus or the aerotrain. Would it be reasonable to walk the rest of the way from either the train station or Placa Cataluna? Thanks so much!
Hi Janice, you haven't seen our comment announcing our up-to-date video on the topic here: th-cam.com/video/YFJG4bZYxU4/w-d-xo.html There is no aerotrain as such. The train will leave you very far from the hotel. It's less that 15 minutes walk from the Aerobus final stop. All the best.
Hey, I’m coming to Barcelona in march and I will be staying at Ibis Styles Barcelona City Bogatell. Would you like to tell me the best way to get there from T1? Fanstastic video and best regards!
Hello there, Przemek! If you are traveling light and want to spend just 1,13€ to get to your hotel, you could catch the airport train to Barcelona-Passeig de Gràcia and there change to metro line 4 (direction La Pau). The railway station and the metro station are linked throughout a really long underground corridor. The station closest to the hotel is Bogatell. You will spend 1,13€ if you pay for the trip with a T-casual ticket.
Otherwise, take a taxi. All the best!
Hi There, this is so informative. Thank you.
My husband and I are traveling to Barcelona for the first time in the next 2-3 months. Our accomodation is near Av d'Icària. What would be the best mode of transport to take to this area? We are also needing to travel to the cruise port from the accommodation which mode of transport would you recommend for this part?
Hope you don't mind all the questions. :)
Hello Nicole, we don't mind questions at all!
To get to your hotel (it helps to know the precise location, including the street number) we advise you to take a taxi.
We have a video explaining how to reach the cruise terminal here: th-cam.com/video/eRbNEb4xpg0/w-d-xo.html All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Hi there, thanks for the recommendation. The hotel is SB hotel icaria.
Thank you for the video. Would you tell me the best way to get from the airport to the Hotel Colonial in the Gothic Quarter? I would prefer the modes of transportation in this order, train/subway, bus, taxi. Thank you so much for your help.
Hi Jay, welcome to the channel. Thank you for defining your preferences, that makes it much easier. If you are after a super cheap alternative, that would be the airport train to Barcelona - Passeig de Gràcia station and then the yellow metro line to Jaume I station, five minutes from your hotel. If you pay with a T-casual card, the whole trip will cost you slightly above 1€. All the best!
Great informational video! What is the best way to travel to L Hospitalet de Llobregat from the airport? Thank you!
Thanks Mike, we would need the specific address in Hospitalet to be able to help. The city is quite large.
This is exactly what I've been looking for, thank you!
Could I please ask your recommendation for getting from the airport to llacuna station or close to that area?
Thanks!
Hi Chesca, if you are traveling light, you could ride the airport train to Barcelona-Passeig de Gràcia and then change to the metro line 4 (yellow), taking you directly to Llacuna. If you pay with a T-casual card, the whole trip will cost you slightly over 1€.

Great informative video! I have a question, my family of 4 has a very early (6 am) flight out of Barcelona later this month, would the easiest option to transport to the airport that early be a taxi? Since the metro doesn’t operate that early in the morning…
Hi Nate, the easiest option would be, by far, the taxi. As an alternative, and if you were staying somewhere along the Aerobus line, it now runs 24/7. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you for the information! Looking forward to visiting Barcelona in a few weeks
This was a very helpful video! I'm arriving 00.10 on Sunday morning, do the buses still run from the airport at this time? I am staying at the Paxton Barcelona in El Poblenou, if there is a bus on I understand i'll need to take the bus to the centre then hop onto the metro.
Hi Michael, the Airport Bus runs 24/7. But you are quite fortunate, as Barcelona metro, on the night from Saturday to Sunday, runs the whole night (see here www.tmb.cat/en/barcelona/operating-hours-metro-bus ). So you could take the airport metro to Torrassa, change to line 1 and travel to Urquinaona where you would change to line 4 and travel to Llacuna, near your hotel. Bear in mind if you don't travel light, there are quite a few stairs to climb at Urquinaona station. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Muchas Gracias! It's less stress now knowing there are a range of options to choose from! I'll warn my partner of the stairs at Urquinaona!
What great information! Would you advise best way to get from the airport to Novotel Barcelona Saint Joan Despi?
Hi Linda, thanks a lot. If you had the choice, we would choose a different hotel, the location of the Novotel Sant Joan Despi is not good at all, quite far from the center of Barcelona. There are no direct transport routes to the hotel, your best choice is a taxi.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Is there another one you would suggest? This was suggested by my travel agent in Australia. I am spending two days in Barcelona and then going on Wonder of the Seas from Barcelona. Also would love any suggestions for good tours as I am travelling senior woman travelling solo.
The hotel is not even in the city of Barcelona but rather in neighboring Sant Joan Despí. Terrible location. We have a video showing the best areas to stay in Barcelona: th-cam.com/video/Ra3CHOfcmK8/w-d-xo.html In your case, given that it's going to be a very short stay, we would look for something in or around Plaza de Cataluña, which is incredibly convenient and close to nearly everything. You could start by searching here: www.booking.com/landmark/es/plaza-catalunya.es.html?aid=359492 If you find a hotel within your budget and would like to know our opinion, let us know!

I am staying 2 nights in Barcelona prior to the cruise and 2 nights after the cruise.
@@lindaedwards2144 for the purposes of your trip, either of the three hotels would be absolutely fine. Choose according to your personal tastes. You could choose one hotel for your initial stay and another one for your return.

Hi Stephen, the pass is individual, each traveller needs a pass. We didn't understand the part about taxis, the pass is not valid in taxis.
What a great video. Thanks for all the information! What would be the best option, airport - sm hotel sant antoni?
Thanks, Cristiana. If you are traveling light, you could take the airport bus to Universitat and there take the metro line 2 to Monumental, near your hotel.

Barcelona, 08001 Spain
Thank you! If you take the Aerobus, the final stop at Plaza Catalunya will leave you 10 minutes away from the hotel. You just have to walk down the Ramblas, it is a wide avenue with lots of space for pedestrians. See the details: goo.gl/maps/eAMoAaU9b1egxg8Y9

Hello tony. Your videos on Barcelona have been the most helpful on youtube. Great work! I need to confirm if the T Casual card can be used from BCN T2 to Passeig de Gracia on the Renfre. I am reading conflicting information. It seems they no longer allow airport travel on the T Casual.
Hi Mary, glad to hear our information has been useful. I don't know which sources you have checked, could you let us know where you heard T-casual is no longer valid on the train? As far as we are aware, the T-casual card continues to be valid on the train leaving from the airport. It cannot be used on the underground, but it is valid on the train. It is part of the integrated transport policy of the Greater Barcelona area, in place for more than a decade, and we are not aware of any changes to that policy. All the best!

Tony, thumbs up on your informative video. I just subscribed. I will be visiting Barcelona next week. I have a questions, If I purchased a t-casual card for ( 10 trips ) $11.35, can I used it to take the A-1 bus from the airport to to plaza de espana and transfer to the L3 metro. It would cost me 1.35 euros each ride, is this correct. thank you.
Hi Ed, many thanks for your words. The airport shuttle bus works independently from the public transport system in Barcelona, and for that reason the T-casual card cannot be used on board the A1 bus. With a T-casual card you can take the airport train. You could ride the train to the city and then transfer to the L3 metro line. If you transfer to the metro line within 70 minutes after your entrance to the train station at the airport, you will only use a single credit from your T-casual card. In other words, getting to your accommodation in Barcelona will only set you back 1.35€, not bad at all!
Very insightful video. Do u identify your metro by just the number or the colour ?
Thank you, Linda. You can use the number, the colour, or both. So, line 1, red line or line 1 red.
Would you recommend the aerobus if we have a lot of check in luggages with us? How wheelchairs? Are the buses wheelchair accessible?

Great video. Love the music. Will be travelling next month and staying at hotel near Casa Mila at Passeig de Gracia. Is the train the best way? Thank you.
Hello there, the answer depends on the specific location of your hotel and on the amount of luggage you will be carrying. Let us know.
Hi! Our hotel at Passeig de Gracia will be only a few steps away from Casa Mila and we will be carrying 2 full size luggages. I wonder if it is worth the hassle of taking the Renfe R2 train. Not sure how much they cost. Perhaps taxi is worth it? Thank you.
If you take the train you will have to walk three large blocks. If you are up to it, it can be an option. But bear in mind getting on and off the train with lots of luggage can be a bit tricky. You can check all the transportation prices on the fixed commentary below the video. A taxi will be far more comfortable, quick and relaxed.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Ola! I think we just realized that the better hotel is Royal Ramblas (in La Rambla) street which is more central to everything. How would you recommend getting here from the terminal 1 airport? Thanks!
