Barcelona Airport to City Centre: what to expect
Barcelona El Prat is 15 km south-west of the centre, about 25 minutes on the C-32 and Gran Via. Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 sit far apart, which is the single most common cause of missed meetings at this airport — a driver holding your name in the right terminal removes that problem.
Drop-offs cluster in the Eixample, the Gothic Quarter, Barceloneta and around the Fira Gran Via congress halls in Hospitalet. Mobile World Congress week and the cruise season at Moll Adossat are the two peaks when arrivals taxis queue for 40 minutes or more.
The Aerobús is a good option to Plaça Catalunya, but it stops there — the last leg into the narrow Gothic streets is on foot with your cases.
