Airport

Flying visits

T1 south terminal by Bofill

Spain’s second busiest airport with some 50 million passengers passing through a year, Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport is pretty efficient. Located 12km southwest of the centre in El Prat de Llogregat, it has two main terminals, T1 (with a new south terminal and control tower by Ricardo Bofill) and T2.

The two terminals are 4km apart and linked by a free 24-hour shuttle bus that runs every 15 minutes.

Airport facilities include:

ATM Cash Machines

Bars, Café and Restaurants: Better choices after you've checked in both T1 and T2

Bureau de Change La Caixa (T1 and T2). Open 7am-10pm

Car Hire (in T1 and T2), all open from 7am-midnight

City tourist offices (in T1 and T2)
