Q:  Can you tell me how to travel from Barcelona Airport to Sants where our holiday apartment is situated. How easy is that?

A:  It is very easy to travel from Barcelona Airport to Sants. Simply catch the RENFE train from Barcelona Airport and get off at Estacio de Sants (Sants Estacio, or Barcelona Sants station)  the journey is around 20 minutes and costs 3.15 euros for a single ticket. Alternatively you can purchase the T10 travel pass which gives you 10 journeys on the Barcelona metro system and you can use the T10 card for your stay. The T10 expires one month after the Calendar year end in which it is purchased. Another alternative is to purchase the Barcelona Card Travel Pass and Discount Card that you can use for your transport pre-paid for the duration of your stay in Barcelona.

If you are arriving into Terminal 1 of Barcelona Airport you will need to take a free shuttle bus from the terminal to the train station, as it is not in walking distance. For more information see our transfers article.
