Getting to Barcelona
Getting to Barcelona is possible
by air, road, sea and rail so there are many choices
for getting to Barcelona. Below we take a look
at the 4 options in more detail
Flying to Barcelona
There are 3 airports you can choose to fly into
Barcelona and you have the choice of dozens of
airlines.
The 3 Barcelona airports are:
-
Barcelona
International airport located in El Prat
which is 10 Km from the centre of Barcelona.
There are airport buses, plenty of cabs and
also a train you can use, to get to and from
the airport.
-
Girona airport is not really in Barcelona
because it is located 50 minutes drive North
in the town of Girona. This airport though
still serves Barcelona and with some very
cheap budget flights via the likes of Ryanair,
many people opt for this option. There are
coaches laid on to Barcelona central bus station
and the fare is quite small.
-
Reus airport is 90 km from central Barcelona
and is located just south of the town of Tarragona.
This airport also is great for budget flights
although this is arguably the least attractive
of the 3 airports for flying to Barcelona.
Driving to Barcelona
You will need to have your wits about you if
you are not familiar with the erratic style that
exists in Barcelona and some other Spanish cities.
 By
road you can drive from the South of France on
the main road straight down the coast on the E-15
road to Barcelona and from the South you can drive
North from cities such as Valencia on the E-15.
From Madrid the E-90 is likely
to the road you need to drive to and from Barcelona.
