BARCELONA EL PRAT TRANSPORTATION QUESTION

I'm arriving at Barcelona El Prat airport on Saturday , the 6 of August at 23.40
I have to get to my rented flat in Calle de La Industria, Barcelona. I can either get there at once or the following morning. What do you suggest.?Would that be problematic to get there from the airport at such a late hour. Had I better spend the night in the airport and take the bus the following day?
Thankyou for any response

the airport is about 8 miles from the city.
I don't think there are hotels at the airport.
Is your apt in the city ?

Yes it is in the city. Well I suppose I can spend the night in the airport nonetheless.
Does anyone know if,by any chance, there is a night bus service to the city?

"Around midnight" is not exactly late in Barcelona, especially not on a Saturday night.
If the hosts/owners of that flat have no problem with checking you in at 12.30 or 1am, why would you even think about staying at the airport?


Since you don't give the number or next intersection, it's not possible to say which public transport can take you there best. The Aerobus will NOT drop you off in walking distance to any place in C/ de la Indústria, though.

As I cannot imagine it much fun to change from bus to metro or another bus in the middle of the night, why don't you just take a taxi.
It will be slightly more expensive at night, it should cost around €30, but you save the hassle at that time of day/night.
