Barcelona International Airport (BCN): Approximate driving time is 30 minutes and is a distance of 12.5 miles (20 km). Taxis are available for the 30-minute trip between the airport and downtown Barcelona. A small surcharge is made for trips between the airport and the city and there is a per-piece charge for luggage. A single bus route operates between the airport and Sants train station (closest to the hotel, 1 mile away) and Plaza Catalunya. There are departures from all three airport terminals every 15 minutes from morning to evening. The trip takes about 30 minutes. Trains to and from the airport and Sants station (1 mile from the Meliá Barcelona hotel) and Plaza Catalunya station depart every 30 minutes from early morning until late night. It is best to take a taxi from Sants station to the hotel (5 minutes). Taxis are plentiful and affordable, and are by far the best method of getting around town. The Gothic Quarter and Las Ramblas are best explored on foot. Bus and subway systems cover the city center and suburbs, but first-time visitors need a good sense of direction and a map to use the systems effectively. The Bus Turistic operates on two circular intersecting routes to all major visitor attractions in the city. Riders can buy a one- or two-day pass, which allows unlimited trips. A Bus Turistic stop is located 2 blocks from the Meliá Barcelona on Avenida Josep Tarradellas. |
