Barcelona Airport (Aeropuerto De Barcelona)
El Prat Airport

The number of low cost airlines offering cheap flights to Barcelona has been on the rise, which is good news for the airport. Cheaper flights to the city mean more visitors and a boost for the tourism industry, a step in the right direction in these hard times.

Getting to and from the airport from the city is relatively easy, but if you have loads of luggage you may prefer a private transfer. Taxi stops are available at all terminals as well as a combined number of 24000 parking spaces for private or hired vehicles. Look out for the black and yellow taxi cabs, you can’t miss them.

There are bus and rail links running frequently between the city and terminals 1 and 2. By rail you will need to transfer from the Metro onto the RENFE system which will take you straight there. Barcelona Airport is also connected to the major motorways in the area, making it quite accessible. The trip between the city and the airport takes roughly 25 minutes depending on the time of day.

The majority of passengers that travel to Barcelona Airport are from Europe or domestic. The powers that are involved in the decision making are pushing to expand the reach of the airport and turn it into a central hub to receive flights from all around the world. The expansions that have taken place are already paving the way for this to happen.
