Airport in Barcelona

El Prat to the city.

Airport to the centre

Barcelona-El Prat is about 15 km from the centre. The Aerobús runs to Plaça de Catalunya, the R2 Nord train goes to Sants, Passeig de Gràcia and Clot, and the L9 Sud metro connects both terminals. The metro and the T-casual are not valid for the L9 airport stations, but a separate airport ticket (about €5.90) is. A taxi to the centre costs roughly €35 to €45, depending on traffic.
