Barcelona airport to Pl. Catalunya ...

Aerobus vs. Train – Barcelona

Looking for suggestions as to which of the above is better to use to get from Barcelona’s airport to Pl. de Catalunya.

Is the train fairly close to Terminal B?

Appreciate your comments.

If you are going to Plaça de Catlunya, Aerobus is more convenient than the train. Slightly more expensive than the train (I think it was about Euro3 vs Euro2.)but the bus stop is just out of the arrival hall while you will have to walk a long covered bridge way to get to the train station. And consider the way out when you arrive at Pl.Catalunya. The train station is underground while the bus will get you off right in front of the department store Il Cortes Ingles.

As I recall the train runs about every 30 minutes (at least it did when I took it several years ago) and the bus was more frequent...and closer to the terminals themselves, too.

The train from Aerport (airport) to Plaça de Catalunya runs every 30 minutes (I think it's on the 17 and the 47 of the hours). It's pretty fast, and is not very expensive. Go to www.tmb.net for information regarding the trains.
