Barcelona Airport Transport: Airbus Shuttle

A1 line goes to the Terminal 1 ( T1) and A2 line goes to Terminal 2 (T2).
As the two lines have different bus stops ( although next to each other ), it is very important to stand on the correct one, so you don`t go to the other airport terminal. The bus stops are located as follows:
Plaça Catalunya - A1 and A2 bus stops are located on the right side of the square if you are coming from the Ramblas
Plaça Espanya - a single bus stop both for A1 and A2 is located opposite to the Palau Nacional

single ticket: 5.65 EUR ; two-way ticket: 9.75 EUR

Detailed information about the A1 and A2 can be found on the official Airbus Shuttle web-site:

Important notice:
No matter which Terminal you are going to before departure, it is very important to be early at the Airbus bus stations, as there might be a crowd of people also wanting to go to the airport. Even if you can not board the first bus to arrive at the station, a next one will follow shortly and you can still get to the airport in time.
