For transport to get to your hotel be sure and ask them after booking if they offer a shuttle from the airport. There is also the choice of Train and Aerobus and taxi to get you to your destination.
RENFE, the Spanish rail company, provide a rail link to the Airport every twenty minutes to and from Sants Station in the centre of Barcelona. At the start of 2006 it is planned to improve this access and a free connecting bus service is provided part of the way.
There is also an Aerobus service from the Airport to Placa Catalunya which goes every 15 minutes and goes to Terminals A B and C from about 5.30am to 23.00 costing about. Another connection goes to Pl Espanya or to Castelldefels.
Taxis are readily available at all hours to take you from the Airport to the centre of Barcelona for about €30.
Rental car agencies in the airport are also represented so if you want to hire a car, do it online and collect your car from the car rental desks in the airport. Almost all have locations, desks or agents in the airport, so this is a simple way to do it. If you rent from Pepe Car, they run a free shuttle service from the airport.
To contact the airport the phone number is +34 932 983 838.
Some flights land at Girona Airport, further out from Barcelona. This is an easy to manage airport as it is smaller and less busy. You can get a taxi or private shuttle to Barcelona center but it will cost at least €100 and you should agree on the cost before setting out.
There is an airport bus that goes from Girona Airport right into Barcelona and it takes about one our to complete its journey. This can be longer if it is at a busy traffic time. The cost is about €12 for a one way ticket and a bit less than double for a return ticket.
