Barcelona Airport (BCN) to Barcelona: how to make this journey
Arriving at El Prat, the metro runs from inside your own terminal — but it is the one option that will not accept an ordinary ticket, and it will not reach the centre without a change. The ordinary city bus is cheaper and the Aerobús is the only one that goes straight to Plaça Catalunya. Which of them suits you comes down mostly to your luggage and how late you land.

The booking on this page suits you if
- Arriving with more luggage than you want to carry through two metro changes
- Landing late, or with a group, where a fixed price beats a queue
- Going somewhere the L9 Sud interchanges do not serve conveniently
Consider something else if
- You are travelling light and your hotel is near an L1, L3, L5 or L10 Sud station
- You are heading to Plaça Catalunya itself — the Aerobús runs there directly from your terminal
- You are on a budget and not in a hurry — bus 46 to Plaça Espanya costs the ordinary city fare
