Destination BCN
Planes
Destination BCN can arrange direct transfers from Barcelona airport for €60, or you can hop in a cab outside arrivals for around €20. Buses to the city centre run every 15 minutes; a ticket costs about €3.
Trains
The 30-minute train journey from airport to Plaza Catalunya (three minutes’ walk from the apartments) costs around €2; trains run every half an hour. Spain also has a reasonably priced national network but book ahead as trains get busy (www.renfe.com).
Local taxi service
You can hail cabs from anywhere on the street, or ask the Destination BCN concierge to order a car for you – they use Francisco (+ 34 (0)6 5182 9232), or Cars Deluxe for (+34 (0)9 3308 2561) special occasions.
Directions by road
Navigating Barcelona’s one-way system can be tricky, as can parking, but follow signs to Plaza Catalunya – the city’s main square. The suites are located just off the square on Ronda Universitat.
