Q: What is the best combination by public transportation from the BCN airport to the cruise ship terminals? In case we use the Airport shuttle bus, which is the nearest stop so that we can take a taxi to the cruise terminal?

A: The Airport shuttle bus (Aerobus) runs from Barcelona airport (Terminal 1 or 2) El Prat to the city centre. The nearest stop to the Cruise Terminal is Placa Catalunya, which is its final stop. From Placa Catalunya you would need to catch either a taxi to the Port (which is about 10 minutes ride) or you would take the Metro: Catalunya (Green Line, L3) direction Zona Universitaria. You need to get off at Metro: Drassanes. From Drassanes metro you would walk to the Port Shuttle bus stop – known as the Blue Bus that will take you to all the port terminals. The port shuttle bus stop is across the road called Passeig de Colum and next to the monument of Christopher Columbus.
