To and from Barcelona airport El Prat

Barcelona Airport is about 12 kilometers outside the City Centre. There are about 35 million people travelling to or from El Prat every year.

There are two terminals at the airport so I split it terminal by terminal.


I do recommend to make a booking with a shuttleservice. It is very conveniet, you will be picked up at the airport and taken to your preferd drop-off point and you dont have to negotiate the price. There are some companys that offer this service, for exampel Hoppa.
