Public transportation is by far the easiest way to get around the city. The Barcelona subways, buses and trams are quick, cheap and all-around excellent. One can either buy a single trip ticket (75min) for € 4,20 or a T10 ticket (10 rides) for € 10,20 which can both be used for any transportation within the city. Alternatively, there is the Hola Barcelona Travel Card for 2, 3, 4 or 5 days which can be used for transportation and other travel operators.

Taxi service is everywhere in the city. However, on weekend nights the waiting time might be long.
The Aerobus takes you every 5-10 minutes from the airport to the city centre (e.g. Plaça d’Espanya or Plaça de Catalunya) in about 20-30 minutes. The bus stops at both terminals, line A1 at terminal T1 and line A2 at terminal T2. Both buses stop at the same stops in the city. One-way tickets cost you € 5,90, return- tickets € 10,20. You can buy a ticket on the bus itself.

Barcelona can be reached by several main roads from France and Spain and traffic is usually relatively light outside of peak hours. Parking, on the other hand, is quite difficult and it is recommended to either park the car a few metro stops from the centre of the city or find a car park. Alternatively, the hotel might also have a private car park
