Thank you so much for taking time to answer and for all the informations.
HI! Very useful video. Thank you!
However, I would like some advice on what is the best way to reach accommodation from the airport in my case.
The flight is expected to land at the T2C terminal. My wife and I will have to reach Gracia, the accommodation is the Residencia Erasmus Gracia.
How should we do it? Since we will be in Barcelona for 5 days (3 full days + 2 travel days), which T-mobilitat card should we get?
Thank you!
@@abarththebest3205 hi, if you are traveling light, you could take the airport metro to the final stop and then change to the green line. Travel to Lesseps and walk to your accommodation. Right now, T-usual provides an unbeatable deal.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you! I really appreciate the advice. As luggage we have 2 backpacks and a medium trolley. Since we land around 6 pm we are undecided whether to take public transport or a taxi to save time and have a few more hours to start visiting the city in the evening
@@abarththebest3205 see this video on the topic czcams.com/video/c6TD5KOjKQg/video.html
I am amazed at how eloquent you are. You say the right words, relevant content and with great supporting material. What a pleasure to have found this channel.
thank you so very much! Very helpful with great details!
Glad to hear that!
As a very frequent traveler to Madrid, I have never experienced a more comprehensive and straight forward video on the how to get to the center of Madrid. Very well done TG
Thank you Tippy, I gather you refer to our Madrid airport guide rather than to this video on Barcelona. Thanks in either case!
Thanks. Can we use t-usual card for train?
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal oh no I ended up in the center of Madrid!
@@jelenatanaskovic6497 you can!
Very informative. Thanks
Great to hear that!
Bardzo dobrze opisany transport z lotniska do centrum Barcelony ! Dziękuję !!!
Great informative and well illustrated. Thank you
Great to hear that, thanks a lot.
Have been enjoying your videos prepping for our family trip this year. Thank you!
Our pleasure!
Incredibly informative. Love the content, thank you so much for making an amazing video !
Delighted to hear that.
Thank you so much for all your videos. They are all so helpful for travelers like us. More power to you! 🎉
Glad to hear that!
Thank you for this valuable information Tony. All your videos are useful and very helpful. This gives me so much confidence navigating the airport.
Delighted to hear that, Vicent!
Great video Tony, I'm planning my first trip to Barcelona next month and your videos are always the most informative, detailed and easy to understand 😀
Glad to hear that, hope you'll have a great trip!
Tony thank you so much for all the necessary information in one easy to understand video.This is a fantastic, just like all your others. We really appreciate your attention to details. This will be very valuable for our trip planning.
Great to hear that, Barry, always a pleasure to help.
This is such an amazingly detailed, clear and useful video. Everything was explained step by step, with helpful visuals and tips. Thank you so very much! I hope you continue to make such high-quality and informative videos!
Thank you so much for your kind comments, Nadia.
Living in BCN, I must confess that this is a great and well-explained content! Thanks!
Glad to hear that, Wilson!
This spring, I will be landing in Barcelona and then travelling to Zaragoza. Thank you for the wanderful guide!
Our pleasure. Do not miss our Zaragoza guide either czcams.com/video/Bcl3fOrQXpI/video.html
We would like to Thank you for your superb video on how to get to Barcelona from the airport. We found it extremely helpful. Thank you again 😊
Delighted to hear that!
Tony, thank you so much for your tips. Your videos helped me when I went to Madrid a few months ago, and now, in a few days, I'm headed to Barcelona. Thank you again.
Hope you'll have a great time!
Great updated video Tony. Used the 46 many times over the years when staying that side of the city as much cheaper and usually less crowded than aerobus with not a massive amount of extra time .
Thanks Jonathan, for anyone staying along the 46 line, and depending on the time of the day, it can be a great choice.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal yes if staying Placa Espanya or Santa Antonio/Poble Sec it is ideal for minimal loss of time
@@jonchall71 depending on the exact location within Sant Antoni or Poble Sec, there might be better alternatives. Line 46 is good for those who arrive to Barcelona with a T-mobilitat card in hands.
Spectacular video! Everything important without being boring. Excellent images, maps and animations. And what can we say about the precious tool that precisely illustrates the step-by-step instructions to be followed in different demands?! Spain Total is, unquestionably, the best information channel about Tourism in Spain. LOVED IT ❤
Thank you so much Yara, delighted to hear you liked what we did here. All the best to you!
gracias!
¡A ti!
Hey Tony and Ceci, I’m on my 2nd trip on which I leverage your videos and tips. Per your recommendation I purchased high speed tickets in advance and then navigated like a pro the trip from MAD to Atocha. Thank you from Cadiz 🙏
Excellent to hear that, have a wonderful time in beloved Cádiz.
Excellent video very thorough I'm glad I found your channel and will watch your other videos soon. What is the best mode of transportation to get to Europa/Fira area. and what are your thoughts on the Barcelona card.
Hi Tony, if you are traveling very light, you can take the local bus. Otherwise, take the metro. We don't recommend the Barcelona Card, the savings are not great. The modernista card is much better czcams.com/video/DdI8q2ExeHo/video.html But be aware that in 2024 it no longer includes a transport pass.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you for the information we will be going to Barcelona for the first time in 2 weeks and your insight and videos have helped us a great deal!
Hi Tony. Great description of various options available to travel from the airport to the city! Wanted to clarify - is the T-casual card available at the airport train station, but not at the metro station?
Thanks Subhomoy. You can get the T-casual at the train station and at the "estanco", as shown on the video. Not at the metro station. All the best.
Very informative video, thanks. Are you certain that the T-Casual card loaded for Zone 1 will get you from BCN to Sants on the Renfe train? I am getting a lot of conflicting information on this.
100% sure. We've done it in hundreds of trips to Barcelona over the last 15 years. Many people go to Barcelona just the one time and publish videos on how things are that are not always accurate in the information they present. They simply don't understand how the integrated public transport system works.
Thank you so much for this video and for many of your Barcelona videos! They have been so helpful in planning. I do have a question: We will be leaving via high speed train from the Sants station. I am thinking of just taking the bus there from our lodging since that is more convenient than the metro. Is it okay to take our carry-on sized luggage on the bus? Also, is arriving at the station at 7:30 enough time for the 8:30 train?
Hello Anna, carry-on luggage is fine. We always advise people to arrive at the station at least one hour in advance. All the best!
Amazing video!! Thanks for the insights.. just one query - do we need to reload the t-usual card that has unlimited trips for 30 days? Or is it fixed price at 21.35 for a month? I saw another video of yours when you mentioned, it can be recharged only with t-usual, so lil bit confused. Gracias 😊
The t-usual card is valid for an entire month. When it expires, you can purchase a new t-usual valid for another month.
Love your channel, very informative, thank you. Question, from BCN to El Palace Hotel Barcelona according to Google Maps I can take bus A2 and bus H12 or Metro L1. Google Maps Information states "A shuttle bus is deployed to transport passengers among the main terminals (T1, T2B, and T2C) FREE of charge. Is it so or is Google Maps wrong?
Thank you. Careful with Google Maps in Barcelona, sometimes it's plainly wrong. Metro Line 1 doesn't go anywhere near the airport. If you are traveling light, take the Aerobús to the final stop and walk 10 minutes to the hotel. Otherwise, take a taxi.
Thank you for a very informative video. I found this to be very helpful. We are planned to arrive in Barcelona in late March and are staying close to Cathedral de Barcelona. What transportation would you recommend to take from BCN to Cathedral de Barcelona? thank you.
Hello, if you are traveling light, take our advice to reach Plaza de Catalunya and walk to your hotel.
Hi Tony, great content and already learned some precious tips. I have a quick question, staying near at sagrada familia should I take the passeig de gràcia train "best route"? And as far as doing the opposite, having a 6:50am flight departure (t1), should I book an uber or public transport is reliable? Travelling in 2 ppl lightweight, no heavy luggages.
Thanks and best!
Hi Gabriel. The train will leave you too far from Sagrada Familia. Take the train and, at Sants Station, change to metro line blue and travel to SAGRADA FAMILIA station. In the video we talk about the Uber situation in Barcelona. Early in the morning, you could take a taxi to Plaza de Catalunya and then the Aerobús.
Thanks for the information - this has been helpful. I'm travelling from Canada in May and I won't have access to my phone, will I still be able to receive a paper ticket?
Hi, didn't quite understand your question, what paper ticket are you referring to?
Hi Tony, thank you for the information. Can I take the airport training and transfer to L1 Red Metro at Clot instead of Pessiag de Gracia? Gracia seems has a long walk and more complicated. Thank you
Hi there, yes you can, even because you won't be able to transfer to line 1 at Passeig de Gràcia.
Great video! Coming to Barcelona for a cruise then staying for a day once it returns in November this year. How would you recommend I go about traveling to the cruise port from the airport? I cant wait to see the city!
Thanks Rachel, you will find the answer to your question on this video czcams.com/video/eRbNEb4xpg0/video.html
Hello Tony, thank you for your very informative and helpful guides!
I am planning my Erasmus studies for 3 months this year and I still don't know what ticket would be the best for me (I am under 30 years). I have heard of some taking the T-joven ticket (I think it needs T-mobilitat) which is valid for 90 days and offers unlimited trips with all means of transportation through Barcelona.
What would you recommend as a ticket for students like me that plan on spending more time in Barcelona?
Thank you Lennart, we are specialists in tourism travel to Spain, but are not so up do date on other topics, so we don't want to recommend you a ticket when you might have access to other which is more advantageous to you. I'm sure your university will be able to provide you with the best up-to-date information on student passes.
My 2 cents after getting back - As you advised - we all got the T-Usual (on our mobile):
Hola Barcelona Card: Use the Aerobus
T-Usual/Terminal 1: Use line 46 (No transfer needed to T2 and for first time visitors some sightseeing - transfer to the subway once in Barcelona)
Other tickets/Terminal 2: Use train or line 46
Those getting the Train at T2 an need to pick up the Hola Barcelona card - First go down to the Subway - Get to the GREEN ticket machines to pickup your Hola Barcelona Card. After that go up to catch your train!
As explained in the video, public transport tickets, included Hola Barcelona, are *not* valid to travel on the Aerobús.
Hi, thanks for the informative video.Which is the best option to go to Paral-lel stattion from T2? And what is the best option for 5 days - T-usual for 30days or Hola 120h as we will be in the center (next to Paral-lel).
Hi, to get to Paral.lel you could take the airport metro to the final stop and then change to line green and travel the whole way to Paral.lel. Right now, with the special discount, T-usual would be your best choice.
You always provide such great detailed information and have used your information at other times. Now I need to get from the train station Barcelona-Sants TO the Barcelona airport - I did a search and can't find that information on your videos - do you have that information as need to do this transfer as quick as possible tomorrow afternoon. I think I have seen we need to look for R2Nord, but not sure about anything else -do we need to go to a ticket machine to buy this ticket at Barcelona-Sants? We will be arriving there on Iryo from Cordoba so not sure where to go for the train to T2 at the airport - thank you as always for such great information
Hi Janice, there is a section of the video dedicated to the airport train. It goes to Sants station. You catch it in Sants to go to the airport. Make sure you leave at least three hours (depending on where you fly to, four hours) between the estimated arrival time of your train and the departure of your flight.
Thank you so much for this practical video, once arrived at the airport I had the impression that I already knew the area 😅
One thing IMPORTANT to mention. I've been annoyed while trying to buy my 6 zones T-usual (~61€). Regarding the credit cards, the automate does only accept contactless payments! So if your country has a security which limits payments (e.g 50 €) or if this feature isn't activated on your credit card you're in trouble 😢
Furthermore it doesn't allow to use more than 1 bill of 50€ for payments (I had 2 bills of 50€) so be aware of this to avoid being stressed when making your ticket purchase..
Thank you for sharing your experience and useful warnings!
Hello Tony, thankyou so much for this informative video. I will be staying in Passeig de Garcia Faria, and im arriving at Terminal 2 airport.
Im wondering if the T-casual ticket is enough for my destination from the airport ? and you said that if we didnt change metro for transfer they only count 1 journey. Is it only from the airport metro station or all around the metro as a starting point ?
Thankyou
Hi, the address you want to reach is quite far from the centre. You could take the airport train and then the yellow metro line to a station close to your hotel - you are not specific about the location. If you pay with a t-casual ticket, train and metro, only one ticket will be discounted from the total credit.
Thank you for such a comprehensive and well-explained video. We are staying at Carrer de València, 240. Which is the best train/metro combination to get there from Terminal 1 at the airport? We are each planning on purchasing a T-usual ticket based on your hot tip! Graciès!
Hi Lisa, you could take the airport train to Barcelona-Passeig de Gràcia and walk 10 minutes to your accommodation. All the best.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you very much!
Hi Tony, thank you for the step by step instructions from airport to Barcelona Centre. If I take the airport train, can I transfer to Metro Line 1 at Clot train station and then get off at Marina Metro Station? Your video suggestion to transfer at Passeig de Gracia but I believe it is not easy to get off at Passeig de Gracia and transfer to the Metro L1 as there is a very long walk and many steps. Thank you
Hi Andy, we've never done that train to metro transfer at El Clot but theoretically, it is possible indeed. You cannot transfer to metro L1 at Passeig de Gràcia, only to L3 and L4. All the best!
thank you for making such an informative video! i was wondering if you had any advice on which travelling option may be better in your opinion: my friend and i plan on purchasing the t-usual card for our stay in barcelona and to commute to our hotel, google maps has given us a few options that include a mixture of train, metro and/or bus. if we're travelling with a suitcase and backpack each, is there a mode of public transportation that you would recommend over another? i.e., the train seems much more spacious than a bus so we're leaning towards the rodalies, but then for our transfer, we are unsure whether we should opt for taking the metro or the bus. (taking the metro would require us to transfer first to another rodalies line after taking the r2n line.) sorry for the long comment, but we would really appreciate your help! keep up the great work with your videos!
We'd be able to help you if we knew the address of your hotel.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal i'm not super comfortable sharing the actual address of where we'll be staying, but it's near the el putxet station!
@@haughtdamnvers airport metro to Torrassa station, metro line 1 to Plaça de Catalunya and metro line L7 to El Putxet. And an uncertain amount of time to your accommodation.
Hi Tony. What is your suggestion of how to get to Uma Suites Pau Claris, Carrer Pau Claris 72? 3 adults with normal size luggages. Amazing informative videos.
Hi, Iris, follow the instructions we give for Plaza de Catalunya, it's just a five minute walk from there.
Great video! Just a quick question - can you tap at these ticket kiosks or do you need to insert your credit card? Thanks!
I take you mean at the metro and train kiosks. You can pay with contactless cards or your smartphone.
Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for the great information, Tony! My husband and I will visit Barcelona in June. We are going to stay in Sunotel Aston. We arrive late at night at Terminal1, so I think it is best to take the aerobus to the 4th stop, plaza universitat, then take a taxi.I would appreciate it if you would let me know what you think of my idea.Also, I found this ticket on the internet. Would you think this Barcelona essential pass is worth the money?
Aerobús + taxi is one possibility. Direct taxi, another one, it shouldn't be much more expensive. We are not familiar with the Barcelona essential pass but doesn't look like an interesting investment.
Hello Tony, i will be travelling from the airport T1 terminal to an AirBnB next to Fabra i Puig metro station. In that case, i would think that taking the metro orange line and changing at Torrassa for the red line may be the simplest, most direct option, although not the most economical. If i wanted to use a t-casual instead, would it be much longer and which itinerary would you recommend? Thank you!
Hi Jean-Francois, you could take the airport train to Clot-Aragó and there change to the metro red line. All the best.
Thank you for the information, couple questions:
How do we make reservation ahead of time for a Taxi from airport to Plaça de catalunya? Official website?
For the T mobilitat Grup, does zone 1 include transportation to Montserrat? Thank you!
We wouldn't know how to make a reservation for a taxi, we've never ever done so, there are always taxis waiting for those arriving without reservation. I guess you will have to do it through a taxi company, but couldn't recommend one. Barcelona transport tickets are for the Barcelona metropolitan area. Montserrat is 60 km away. You can't use T-mobilitat for Montserrat. Here we explain you how to reach Montserrat czcams.com/video/DtouuBNpay0/video.html
Thanks for this, Tony. I initially planned to purchase a 5-day Hola BCN card (36.72 EUR online), but it looks like T-Usual is a cheaper option (21.35 Eur+ T-mobilitat card). Can you please confirm if the T-Usual is valid for the same public transport options as Hola BCN -- i.e., is it also valid in Montjuic funicular and Rodalies within zone 1? Gracias!
Hello, yes, Hola BCN and T-usual can be used in the same transports. All the best!
Hola! Thank you for these amazing videos. I noticed on this video, you purchased a T-Casual card, and then swiped it twice to enter the Metro (once for your wife, once for yourself). Can you use the T-Casual card for more than one person? Thank you!!
Hi Patricia, if you are talking about this czcams.com/video/0tMGYYv-8nY/video.htmlsi=-QZD8FZkSNTuE4Wg&t=1006 check out the sign we superimposed on the images. T-casual is an individual ticket.
Hi Toni super videos ! I wonder if you have a minute to direct me to the metro from the BCN airport to Plaza Catalunya my hotel is very close to that plaza. Thank you!
That is explained in detail in the video!
Hi! Thank you for your great videos. I'm wondering approx how many minutes to arrive to the train station from the exit in T2? It looks like a very long route but is it doable for 20 min? Thank you for the advise in advance!
Hi, there are several exits at T2, so it really depends on which one you'll take. But it can be anything between 15 and 30 minutes.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you!
Thank you for your video. And if there will be a group of 6 people. We arrive at terminal 2 and we want to go to Vilanova Ila Geltru.
What transport is better and faster - to go by bus from terminal 1?
Or to go by train from terminal 2 - first to Barcelona and then change the train to Vilanova?
Where we can buy t- mobilitat ( t-familiar for 4 zones ) card and can we use one trip if we go by train with transfer in Barcelona?
Julia, you can buy your T-mobilitat at the train station as show in the video. You will only use one ride per person to get to Villanova i la Geltrú from the airport, even if you change trains. Bus might be faster, difficult to tell, depends on your arrival time, the day of the week. You have to compare. This is the company running the bus service: busgarraf.cat/es/lineas/
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you so much!
Hi Tony. Do u hv any tips on luggage storage? V come frm far n move around on budget airlines, but go home on d same entry airport.
Would appreciate your input.
Unfortunately, the left luggage facility at the airport shut down during the pandemic and hasn't opened since. This service in the heart of Barcelona is quite good bcnshop.barcelonaturisme.com/shopv3/en/product/20736/locker-barcelona.html?o=h&w=21125-1444
Tq so much for d info.
Thanks so much for the detailed videos. One thing I'm not clear on, is if you take the train from the airport with one of the T-Mobilitat passes, how do you pay the additional €1.xx to board? Do you need to load a cash balance onto the card in addition to the pass, do you need to pay with a credit card, or some other payment method? I'm wondering if the Hola Barcelona card might be a better option even if it is a little more expensive as one can take a train, metro, or city bus without having to worry at all about extra payments?
Hello, didn't quite understand your question. T- mobilitat is just the support where you load your tickets (check out this video on the topic czcams.com/video/HbJzpyxLCzg/video.html ). To be able to travel, you need to load some type of ticket on the T-mobilitat. Hola Barcelona is a good option, but with a T-casual you can travel in all the public transports of the city of Barcelona with the exception of the airport metro.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Ok, I believe I understand now, but the way you phrased things had me confused. In short, using a T-Casual ticket to board the train at the airport will use one of the 10 credits on the ticket, which costs approximately €12.10 at the machine. At first, It sounded like one needed to pay an additional €1.21 over and above the credit used to depart from the airport station. Bear in mind, in order for a visitor to only pay €1.21 for the trip, they need to take *exactly* ten trips on public transportation during their visit. If they only use it five times, the cost will effectively be double.
You've indicated that the train is faster than the metro, but as most visitors will arrive in T1, they will also need to factor the time of exiting the terminal, catching the shuttle to T2, and then the long walk to the train station, and trains only running every 30 minutes, vs about every 5-10 minutes for the metro. Especially if you are only visiting for a couple of days (going on a cruise for instance) one might need to weigh the pros and cons of using a T-Mobilitat card vs. an Hola Barcelona card.
@@ciabelle281 the best alternative to leave the airport always depends on the particulars of each traveller, particularly where he is going and where is he staying. When someone provides us with those details, we attempt to give them the best alternative.
Hi Tony! Me and my friend planned to buy the Hola Barcelona travel card but we are staying in Badia del Valles and i think it's not included since its in the zone 2? What transportation card would you recommend to buy if we are staying in barcelona for just 3 nights and travelling light?
Hi, the Hola Barcelona card won't take you to Badía del Vallès. I would get one type of ticket to come and go from Badía del Vallès (2 zones) and another ticket to move around Barcelona (1 zone).
This is a great video, very informative. Please could you help, I’m travelling to Barcelona airport, and my hotel is in Calella, could you tell me the best journey by train?
Also I will be travelling from Calella to montmeló for the F1 for 3 days by train, could you help with the best route? And do you know which ticket would be best to buy for my trips?
Natalie, take the airport train to Sants station and change to R1 train line. To get to Montmeló you will probably have to go to Barcelona first and then follow the instructions provided by the race organizers. But return train tickets from Calella to Montmeló.
Hi Tony and thank you for your videos, a great help for planning our first visit to Spain. What would be the best way to get to a hotel near Llacuna metro station? From BCN airport T1? Two adults, no bulky luggage. Thanks
Hi Victor, take the airport train to Barcelona-Passeig de Gràcia and then metro line 4 to Llacuna.
Hola,
I just want to thank you for your videos about Spain. I’m traveling to Barcelona in two weeks, and your videos are so helpful. I just have two questions about transportation. I downloaded the TMB app, but for me, it is so confusing. And i just want to know whats the best way to travel from airport to my apartment (Hesperia Fira: Mare de Déu de Bellvitge, 3, 08907 Hospitalet de Llobregat, Spain) and also i would like to travel to Monserant, so how to travel there or how to get to the train station. If you had the time to answer my question, it would be super helpful.
Hola, Lenka. The TBM app is confusing and it doesn't always work... You could take bus 46 to Hospital Oncològic and walk to your apartments. But you will have to take an underpass under the motorway. Otherwise, take a taxi or VTC. Here we explain how to travel to Montserrat czcams.com/video/DtouuBNpay0/video.html To get from your hotel to the initial train station you will take metro line 1.
Thanks Tony. This is my one stop source of my next trip in two months. I have a question: approximately how long it takes from T1 to Barcelona Sants, the train station? Which is the fastest way ? Thanks.
Hello, the fastest way is the taxi, approximately 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic conditions. Then it would be the airport metro, you would need to change lines along the way. Estimated travel time is hard to tell, but anywhere between 30 and 45 minutes. If you are catching a train at Sants, make sure you leave 3 hours between the estimated arrival time of your flight and the departure of the train. All the best.
Thank you so much.
Hi, Great Video. I am planning on travelling from Barcelona Airport to Girona on Saturday afternoon (plane is scheduled at 13:15). I think I have to buy a ticket to Barcelona Sants from the ticket machine at T2 and then buy a regional ticket at Sants for the train trip to Girona. Can I buy a ticket from the airport that will cover the entire journey? Thank you.
We've never done it but I suspect you cannot, since you'll be combining local trains with local fares and regional trains. But since there is a manned ticket office at T2, why don't you go there and ask?
Hi Tony, thank you so much. I have a unique question as I am looking for travel from the BCN Airport to Passeig de Gracia which is nearest to our place. I need the route to be wheelchair accessible and have looked at the R2 from Terminal 2 as our flight is from EasyJet but cannot find clear information about wheelchair accessible trains and stations.
We are also planning a trip to Sitges from Barcelona and found that Diagonal station is closest to our place but cannot confirm the wheelchair accessibility of the stations and trains.
Appreciate any help, thank you
Hello, the airport train station, Barcelona-Passeig de Gràcia and Diagonal are accesible. Al the best.

Dear Tony, for two person in Barcelona which public transport is best? We live in pl. Catalunia. Our far destination is Monserrat, Park Guell. Aeroport pl.catalunia and vise versa.
The answer will depend on the length of your stay.
Hi
So i visit Barcelona in june. And as it looks, is that the hotel is directly nearby the Metrostation Rocafort. I want to buy the essentialpass witch say that i can use the aerobus with it. So is it clever to use the aerobus to reach the hotel oder better use the Metro? 🤔
Thx 🙂😅
We are not familiar with the Essential Pass but don't think it provides a good deal. We haven't seen anywhere proof that can be used in the Aerobus. The Aerobus will be faster (get off at Urgell) but you will have to walk five blocks.
Hi, for the "1 Airport" journey, do I need a T-Mobilitat card? If yes..does this card come out the machine when buying the "1 Airport" ticket?
If you are referring to the Airport Ticket, it comes on a paper format, it hasn't been incorporated into T-mobilitat yet.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you for answering
Hi Tony, what is your suggestion of how to get to Hotel Best Aranea - Consell De Cent, 444. We will have two normal size suitcases with wheels.
Hi, if you don't want to take a taxi, you could take the airport train to Sants, change to the blue metro line, travel to Verdaguer and walk less than 15 minutes to your hotel. Or take the airport metro to Collblanc, change to the blue line and travel to Verdaguer the same.
Hello Tony. Thank you for the excellent videos.
I would like to buy a T-Usual at the airport. Some websites say that you cannot do this at the Airport vending machines. For example: "Where can I buy the T-usual? Metro ticket vending machines (except machines at airport metro stations)" Looking at the vending machine screen on your #150 video, it does seem to be an option. But, I do not know if that vending machine is at the airport.
So, my question is can I buy a T-Usual card at an airport Metro vending machine?
Thanks Bill. It blows my mind the amount of misinformed websites when it comes to transport in Barcelona. It only takes a consultation to the local transport authority to get an answer! T-Usual can be bought at the vending machines at the airport, as shown on our video. We recorded it at the airport. Have a safe trip!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you, Tony. Something I've noticed is some websites simply copy/paste misinformation from other sites and perpetuate wrong ideas without doing any checking. So, we really appreciate your first hand knowledge and patience in answering questions. What might be second nature to you and obvious to locals can be daunting to first time visitors.
@@Bill-go9ed like we always say, "there are no stupid questions". We are very much aware of the need for information coming from first-time visitors. And yes, you're right, not going to the source and copying from others is quite a common behavior among some CZcamsrs.
We are staying at hotel lleo….. what metros do we need to take from terminal 1 ?
❤your video. Can you tell me how to order a ticket if I have a Barcelona card which only covers zone 1, but I want to go to Mataro station which is in zone 3? and what if I go back to zone 1 from zone 3?
Buy 1 zone video to move around Barcelona and a different one to go to Mataro, 3 zones. The choice of the ticket will depend on the amount of trips you intend to complete.
Hi,
Thank you so much for this useful video!! My accommodation is near Paral·le metro station. If I buy the Airport metro ticket for Euro 5.5, then I can take the Orange L9 line to Zona Universitària. And then change metro to Green L3, without leaving the station. And that will take me to Paral·le. So the Euro 5.5 airport ticket will cover both my metro rides. Is that correct, Sir? Hope I'm making sense! Thank you!
Hello Antara, your are absolutely right! You buy one airport ticket that will take you the whole way to Paral.lel station. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you!! :)
Hi, to get from Aeroport T2 to Verdaguer station, is it sufficient to just buy one aeroport ticket? (or, will I have to buy another ticket for the change at Collblanc?)
Just the one ticket will do.
We plan on staying 4 days in Barcelona then taking the train to Caldetas where I used to go to when I was young. We will stay 2 nights in Caldetas then go back to Barcelona to take the high speed train to Madrid. Any recommendations on what tickets we should buy? Also three weeks later we plan to take the high speed train from Seville back to Barcelona to catch our flight back to the US.
To get to Caldetas you will need tickets valid for 3 zones. Ask wherever you are staying for the best transport option and ticket. For your stay in Barcelona, get either a T-usual or a T-casual, depending on how you plan on leaving the airport and the location of your hotel.
First I would like to thank you for this interesting video, so when I arrive to BCN T2, for getting my hotel, Google maps shows me this public transportation : Bus 46 - Metro L1 - Bus L11, so my question is, can I use my Hola card travel with the L11 bus ?
Beware of Google Maps. If you tell us the address you intend to travel to, we might be able to help.
Hotel Hesperia Barcelona Sant Just
@@khalidneghyef9534 if you are traveling light, you could take local bus L77 directly to near your hotel (which is not in Barcelona but in neighboring Sant Joan Despí). Otherwise, take a taxi.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal But i told you I ve purchased a Hola card travel 5 days, and would like to use it rather than a taxi or any other transportation not included that's why I asked if the the bus line L11 is included
@@khalidneghyef9534 you can use your card on the L11. We've given you a much better option than the one Google gave you.
can i come back to airport using my t usual card when my stay at barcelona is finish or I can just use it once to leave airport to my destination when I arrive at Barcelona? My other question is that once I validate my t usual card leaving airport from metro, Do i need to activate again on bus if I am connecting from Metro to a bus? Gracias
You can return to the airport within the validity period of the card. You must always tap your card against the reader when you travel in Barcelona public transport.
Toni ola again! Are you saying now that in 2024 once I get to BCN airport and decide to take the Metro to the center of Barcelona I can buy the T-Mobilitat T-Usual at the airport 21:35 euros is this correct?
It is correct.
Hi Tony. That was an excellent presentation. Our first trip to Spain is coming up at the end of February 2024. Could you give me a little guidance on the best option for travel from Terminal 1 (we are an early morning international arrival) to Hotel Turin Barcelona. This is the address they have provided to us in our booking. Pintor Fortuny, 9, Ciutat Vella, Barcelona, 08001, Spain. We are 4 adults, traveling with carry-on luggage only. Our preference at that time of the morning, after a long overnight flight, is to not have to worry too much about the pickpockets. Hoping to hear from you. Cheers from Canada.
Hello, being a group of four, and if you don't want to worry about pickpockets, we would take a ridesharing service (Bolt/Cabify/Uber) or a taxi. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you for that quick response and advice. Cheers.
Hi Tony, we will be travelling from T2 to Ronda del General Mitre, 259 1.1, Barcelona, Catalunya 08023, Spain
I would really appreciate if you can tell me what's the easiest and cheapest way to get there. I will be in Barcelona from 15 to 17 Apr 2024.
Tq so much!
Take the airport metro to its final stop and then change to the metro green line. Travel to Lesseps and walk to your accommodation.
Hello. We'll be taking a cruise from BCN in mid April. We want to stay 1 or 2 nites before cruise. I'd like to stay somewhere near Columbus Monument because I want to take the cruise bus to the port. Can you suggest an inexpensive hotel. Thanks
Hi, check out some hotel recommendations on this video czcams.com/video/eRbNEb4xpg0/video.html
Would you say that the T-mobilitat usual is better than the hola bcn card?
Right now t-usual offers an unbeatable deal for those staying several days in Barcelona. For very short stays, Hola BCN is better.
Hi, I am confused. I am staying at the Ibis Styles Barcelona Centre. Arriving at Terminal 1. I believe Metro L9S + Collblanc/L5 transfer to Verdageur is my best option. I assumed the cost was 5.50EUR per person for the Metro L9S + the cost of a T-Familiar ticket (to be shared) for the L5 Metro. In your video it only shows 5.50EUR per person. Is that correct? Thanks!
Hi, we only show the cost of the actual ticket - if you have a T-mobilitat card you won't pay for the card. If you don't, you will have to pay for one or several T-mobilitat cards depending on the ticket you plan on loading. T-mobilitat explained here in detail czcams.com/video/HbJzpyxLCzg/video.html
Ah yes I remember this video now. Yes I agree. Our plan was to get the T-Mobilitat card and load it with with T-Familiar for our uses after we arrive at the hotel. My confusion is; with the L9S Metro, can we load this onto the T-Mobilitat card for the two of us? And will that one L9S 5.50EUR take us to our hotel even with a transfer on L5? The the T-Familiar can be used for later use? @@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal
Ah yes I remember this video now. So it sounds like we need to get a T-Mobilitat card. Load it with L9S for 2 people and then once that trip is complete, we can load it with a T-Familiar. I think my confusion is "will the L9S take us all the way from our airport to our hotel even with L5 transfer?" or do we need to load T-Familiary before we get onto the L5 transfer at Collblanc? @@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal
@@lordpuppyrd7989 you cannot pay for the airport metro ride with a T-mobilitat. You will have to buy an Airport Ticket. That airport ticket will take you to your final metro station.
Thank you so much for your clarification! I will be arriving to my Spain/Portugal trip in 12 days. I am excited and thankful for all your videos and help!@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal
Hi Tony. Can I use the T-usual card to ride the metro from the airport to Passeig de Gracia? I would like to buy the T-usual card since it’s a good price for my entire visit to Barcelona.
Hi there, yes, you can use it. You will find that information and many others in the video! All the best.
Hi guys, I need to get to Palafrugell in the Girona area. What bus can I take from the airport?Do I have to switch more busses to get there?
There's a bus that will take you directly there, check details here www.moventis.es/es/lineas-horarios/linea-autobus-1-aeroport-bcn-barcelona-costa-brava-centre

Are you able to advise/ recommend a Private Transfer company to take us from Barcelona airport to Montserrat please ?
Hi Franciscus, we know of no company we can recommend.
Ok thanks Tony@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal
I always use the Aerobus. Dont feel safe on the metro
Depending on where you are going, the Aerobus can be very handy or completely useless.
I’m taking Emirates from Dubai. How do i go to Leonardo Hotel in Las Ramblas near La Boqueria? I see Liceu, should i get down there?
Hi, yes, Liceu metro station is an option for you. If you're traveling light, just follow our second option in the video for people going to the Gothic Quarter.
I was looking up for direction on google and it shows me to use N1 ? Can you help tell me is that a bus or metro line ? Thank you in advance.
N1 is probably a night bus, but we would need more information to be able to help. Be careful with Google Maps in Barcelona.
Hello, what means 'online collection' button on metro vending machine? Is it for us who bought online holaBCN tickets with a code made of many numbers? Thnx.
If you bought the tickets from TMB's website, not from the one we recommend, you can collect them from the machine.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thnx, but at the end, what do you recommend for us who stay in BCN for 3-4 days, HolaBCN or T-mobilitat ticket?

@@jelenatanaskovic6497 yes.
Good morning! Google maps keeps telling me I need to take bus PR1 or N19 to get from the airport to the accommodation in El Prat for a very short overnight layover. I cannot find information about the cost of these and whether the T-mobilitat card would cover them at a normal rate or even what the cost is. Please can I ask if you have any information about these busses?
Good morning, Lynne, beware of Google Maps in Barcelona. PR1 is a local bus, you pay for it same as you pay for bus 46 (as explained in the video). You will use one trip per person traveling on that bus. N19 is a night bus, only runs at night. We believe you can also use the transport cards to ride the night bus, but we've never used it.
Thank you so much for this information. We will try to load a t mobilitat card onto my husband's phone and see if we can use that. Much appreciated
@@PreUniversityColleg1 good luck with that! Right now we see no particular advantage, on top of being a more expensive option.

No, you will need to buy a ticket valid for 3 zones, more expensive.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Shall I buy the 3 Zones Card of €32.55 or better to buy single tickets of €2.55 between accommodation in Zone 3 and city center and get a 1 Zone card of €12.15 to use it within city center ?
@@sanishazi the second option is better.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal I understand that T-Usual (2 Zones) is for traveling between 2 zones, could be between Zone 1 & 2 or even between Zone 4 & 5, as long as the trip is between only 2 zones, Is my understanding correct ?
@@sanishazi it is correct.
As a tourist how can we get a tusual?

I have rented an apartment in Calella for 6 days for myself and my 6-year-old son. So I need to:
1. Buy two single tickets from the airport to the center of Barcelona for myself and my son (2*5.50 = 11).
2. Buy two T-Casual tickets for zone 5 for myself and my son (2*48.10 = 96.20)
to be able to travel from Barcelona by train to Calella and make one or two trips from Calella to Barcelona for a walk?
Thanks in advance
We would buy one specific ticket valid for 5 zones to move from Calella to Barcelona, and a different one to travel within Barcelona.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you for your response. But I can use tickets for zone 5 inside zone 1, can I get a fine for that? Or would it be better to buy a T-familiar for zone 5 for 42.70 (for a trip to Calella and back, and one visit to Barcelona), and a T-familiar for zone 1 for traveling during a visit to Barcelona?
@@annaleleko3967 no, you won't be fined. But we assume that if you are staying in Calella, miles away from Barcelona, is to save money. And using a 5-zone card to travel around Barcelona is an utter waste of money.
