Private transfer from Barcelona Airport to the city: T1, T2 and journey times
Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat (BCN)
Barcelona's airport has two passenger terminals, T1 and T2. Which one your flight uses is shown on your booking; with the flight number in your request, the chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall of the right terminal with a name sign and follows the actual landing time.
Between T1 and T2
By road the two terminals are approx. 5 km apart, about 10 minutes without traffic; Aena also runs a free shuttle bus between them. If you are not sure which terminal you will arrive at, the flight number in your request is enough.
From the airport into the city
From Terminal 1 to Plaça de Catalunya it is approx. 17 km, from Terminal 2 approx. 14 km – about 20 minutes without traffic in each case, mostly via the C-31. To Barcelona Sants station it is approx. 17 km from Terminal 1, about 19 minutes.
Barcelona cruise port transfer: airport, hotel and Moll Adossat
Airport to the cruise terminals
The cruise terminals are on the Moll Adossat, the long quay south of Montjuïc. From Terminal 1 it is approx. 21 km, about 30 minutes without traffic; in the other direction, from the quay to Terminal 1, approx. 22 km, about 33 minutes.
Port and city
From the Moll Adossat to Plaça de Catalunya it is approx. 7 km; along the port roads the drive takes about 21 minutes without traffic. If you stay in Barcelona before or after the cruise, the chauffeur takes you to your hotel and back to the ship on the day of embarkation. For the day you disembark, we agree the meeting point at the port with you.
Groups, tour operators and incoming agencies
For groups we plan transfers between the airport, hotels and the cruise terminals on one timetable – with Business Vans for up to 6 passengers and Sprinters for up to 17. You receive one quote for all journeys.
Private transfer to Fira Barcelona and the CCIB
Fira Gran Via
The larger exhibition centre lies in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, between the airport and the city centre: from Terminal 1 it is approx. 12 km, about 13 minutes without traffic; from Plaça de Catalunya approx. 6 km, about 12 minutes. MWC Barcelona (early March), ISE (early February) and Smart City Expo World Congress (November) take place here.
Fira Montjuïc
The historic exhibition grounds at Plaça d'Espanya host trade fairs and shows in the city centre. From Terminal 1 it is approx. 15 km, about 17 minutes without traffic.
CCIB at Diagonal Mar
The Centre de Convencions Internacional de Barcelona near the Fòrum hosts large congresses. From Terminal 1 it is approx. 24 km, about 25 minutes without traffic; the hotels of Diagonal Mar and the 22@ district are close by.
Trade fair days
During large fairs, hotels, taxis and the roads around Gran Via are in high demand. Book transfers and shuttle timetables for those days early – we combine all journeys of your team in one quote.
Private transfer, taxi or shared shuttle?
A private transfer means that the vehicle and the chauffeur – your private driver for this ride – are booked for you alone. Unlike a shared shuttle, there are no stops at other hotels; unlike the taxi rank, your chauffeur is already waiting when you land and knows your destination.
When a private transfer pays off
For guests who should not have to wait, for luggage, samples or equipment, for groups that travel together and for tight schedules between flight, meeting and Fira. The price is agreed in your quote before the ride.
Business Van and Sprinter for groups
Up to 6 passengers travel in the Business Van (Mercedes-Benz V-Class), up to 17 in the Sprinter. For larger delegations we combine several vehicles.
