Among cruise lovers, especially beginners, a question: — how to get from Barcelona airport to Plaza Catalunya, very popular. Why Barcelona and why Plaça Catalunya?
Well, firstly, Barcelona is one of the inexpensive cities in terms of flights from Russia. Secondly, many interesting cruises depart from the port of Barcelona. And thirdly, the port is located in the old part of the city near Plaza Catalunya.
Now I think it’s quite clear why I chose such a topic for the next article. Let’s look at the main options for traveling from the airport to the city center.
What types of transport go from the airport to the center of Barcelona
I want to inform you that there is three main modes of transport:
- Train RENFE
- Bus
- Taxi
But since the article is mainly aimed at beginners, I won’t talk too much about the train. The fact is that the train only runs from and to Terminal 2 of Barcelona Airport. And the second reason — a transplant will be required. That is, you won’t be able to get directly to Plaza Catalunya.
Bus
The bus is the most popular and a budget mode of transport in our case. And get there from the airport From Barcelona to the same Plaza Catalunya you can take different routes and buses. There are 2 types of such buses:
Aerobus – branded bus, shuttle. Its task is to provide transportation from the airport to the city center and back.
The fare is €5.90. The car is specially adapted for such trips.
Large luggage compartment, minimum stops. Two routes A1 and A2, which go to terminal 1 and 2 respectively.
TMB Bus (TMB). This route does not reach Plaça Catalunya a little. You’ll definitely get to Piazza di Spagna. If your hotel is located in this area, then it will be quite suitable.
The TMB bus is a regular city bus, without additional luggage space. Along the route it stops much more often, which means it travels longer. The fare for this bus is only €2.20.
Transfer — taxi
Perhaps the most convenient transport option of all those I have listed — is a taxi. This is especially true for those who are visiting Barcelona for the first time and do not even know where the bus stop at the airport is.
You will be taken comfortably, quickly and to the hotel door. Yes, it’s not as cheap as taking a bus, but if you’re traveling with a group of 4-6 people, it’s quite affordable and comfortable.
Taxi convenience
Recently, I helped my colleagues arrange a transfer from Barcelona airport to a hotel in the area of Plaza Catalunya for 5 people. It came out to less than 1000 rubles for each. And they had a second transfer from the cruise port to the airport. Same cost.
Yes, I myself have used this service several times – it’s very convenient! They meet you at the airport, load your luggage and take you to the hotel. You can pay right now when booking, or you can place an order and pay the driver on the spot.
The only difference is that now you will pay in rubles from your card, and the driver will have to give euros in cash. In general, there are no special problems.
“There are many ways to get from Barcelona airport to Plaza Catalunya or directly to the hotel.”
