FAQs
How much is the Aerobus in Barcelona?
Tickets come in single or return options for adults and children, with kids under 4 travelling free, plus a cheaper variant without the audio guide app. For current fares, check here.
How do I get the Aerobus from Barcelona Airport?
The Aerobus runs from both terminals to Plaça de Catalunya in the city centre, with stops along the way. Buy ahead and your e-ticket works straight from your phone, so you board without queuing at the airport.
How long does Aerobus Barcelona take?
Around 35 minutes between the airport and Plaça de Catalunya. It runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, though night departures are less frequent, so check this link for exact times on an early or late flight.
Can I use the Barcelona Card or Hola BCN on the Aerobus?
No. The Barcelona Card, Hola Barcelona Travel Card, and standard transport passes aren’t valid on the Aerobus, which needs its own ticket. Those cards do cover the airport metro (L9 Sud) and the R2 train at no extra cost, so that route is the free option if you hold one.
