Before you book
How long do you actually get in Barcelona?
About 13.6 hours on the ground, measured from landing to the time you have to leave for the airport, not from take-off to touch-down. The airport is 13km from the centre, and that journey is counted twice.
How do you get from Barcelona airport into town?
Aerobús 35 min, €7 A day ticket on local transport is T-dia day €11. Cheaper option: TMB bus 46 from T1/T2 to Plaça d'Espanya runs on a standard single ticket (€2.90) and takes 30-40 minutes, versus the Aerobús shuttle..
