Frequently asked questions
How much is the Aerobús?
About €7 one way, with a cheaper return ticket valid for several days. Buy it from the machines, online or on board by card. Line A1 serves Terminal 1 and A2 Terminal 2, both running to Plaça de Catalunya.
Can I use a T-casual ticket from the airport?
On the R2 Nord train yes, because the airport is in zone 1. On the L9 Sud metro no: at the airport stations you need the special airport ticket, while Hola Barcelona travel cards are valid. Public transport tickets are not valid on the Aerobús.
How do I get from the airport to the cruise and ferry port?
By taxi in about 20 to 25 minutes, the easiest option with luggage. By public transport, take the Aerobús to the centre and then a bus or metro towards Drassanes.
