Barcelona
As many of you are coming from away, we wanted to put a quick guide on how to best get to Barcelona as well as get around here.
1
Flying to Barcelona
There is one main airport in Barcelona - Josep Tarradellas - El Prat (BCN) and we suggest you fly there instead of other airports in the surrounding cities. This is the closest and most convenient. Other airports are Reus to the south and Girona to the north, both about 1.5 hours away by car to the center of Barcelona.
To get to the Barcelona city center:
2
By Taxi
[Recommended] Taxi takes about 30 minutes to the City Center from the airport and costs around 30-35 Euros. At the airport, the taxi line is a 5 minute walk from the baggage claim. There are many taxis and the line goes very fast, and is better than calling an Uber / ride-share. You will need to make sure to follow the signs for the official line!
Once you are in the city, it is very convenient to get a taxi and call a taxi with the below local apps but Uber should work as well.
