The Votonde edit

Arrive in Barcelona, ready for the day.

Choose the terminal, then the city connection. A good arrival plan leaves room for bags, delays and finding your hotel.

Barcelona–El Prat to the city

Aena identifies Aerobús A1 for Terminal 1 and A2 for Terminal 2, with stops towards central Barcelona. Match the bus to your terminal. Metro and rail offer other routes; compare the stop nearest your accommodation and the changes needed.

Airport public-transport options ↗

Check the last service, ticket validity, luggage space and step-free access on your travel date. A city-transport ticket is not automatically valid on every airport service. Leave time for the final walk to the hotel.

Plan metro and bus connections with TMB ↗

When a private transfer makes sense

A pre-arranged car may suit a late arrival, more luggage or a party travelling together. Compare the actual vehicle, child seats, waiting allowance and cancellation conditions. No quote or vehicle is reserved here.

Check private transfers on Kiwitaxi ↗
