The most popular and efficient way to travel from Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) to the city center is undoubtedly the Aerobús. Its biggest advantages are the ample luggage space compared to trains or the metro and the frequent departures that mean you almost never have to wait.
Custom Routes by Terminal (A1 & A2)

The Aerobús operates two different lines depending on the airport terminal. Check your arrival terminal and look for the line number displayed on the front of the blue buses.
Line A1: Connects Terminal 1 (T1) with the city center.
Line A2: Connects Terminal 2 (T2) with the city center.
Key Stops: Both lines depart from the airport and stop at Plaça d'Espanya and Sepúlveda before reaching the final destination, Plaça de Catalunya.
Frequent Departures Every 5 Minutes

The best part of the Aerobús is that it enables "travel without waiting." It operates 24/7, 365 days a year, with buses arriving every 5 to 10 minutes during peak hours. Even if your flight is delayed or immigration takes longer than expected, there is no need to worry. The journey to the city center takes approximately 35 to 50 minutes depending on traffic.
For travelers carrying large suitcases, the Aerobús is the optimal choice. The buses are equipped with large dedicated luggage racks so you can travel worry-free. Additionally, free Wi-Fi and USB charging ports are available, making it easy to check your next travel itinerary during the ride.
Instead of struggling with heavy bags under the hot Barcelona sun, hop on the cool and comfortable Aerobús to start your journey. The moment you step off at Plaça de Catalunya, your real Barcelona adventure begins.
