By bus (recommended option)

The Aerobus service links Barcelona airport to the city center. You can get off at Plaça Catalunya (to get to the conference venue from there see above). 
You can catch the Aerobus from outside both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.  You can buy your ticket from the staff at the bus stops (payment in cash or by credit card), at the automatic sales machines at the bus stops (payment in cash or by credit card) or by paying the bus driver (cash only payments, notes of 20 euros max). The price for a one-way ticket is 5,90 €, the ticket is valid for one person and their luggage for up to one hour after purchasing. The price for a round trip ticket is 10,20 €, the ticket is valid for GOING up to 1 hour after purchasing, and RETURN for up to 9 days after purchasing. You must keep the ticket in order to use it for the trip back to the airport.

Please be aware that:

• Integrated travel tickets (T-10, T-Mes, T-50/30, T-Trimestre T-Jove, T-Familiar, T-Dia) are not valid for this service.

• All children under 4 years do not pay.

• You can not book tickets in advance. Tickets can be purchased on the bus.

On return to the Airport: both Aerobuses for Terminal 1 and for Terminal 2 stop at the same bus stops. When making your way to Barcelona Airport, make sure that you take the right Aerobus: A1 takes you to Terminal 1 and A2 - to Terminal 2. There is also a shuttle bus service between the two terminals.

Regular bus service is also available from both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. You can take bus #46 which will take you to Plaça Espanya and take metro (L3) from there to reach Plaça Catalunya.

The Renfe train station is situated at Terminal 2, and is connected to this terminal via an airbridge, located between terminals 2A and 2B. There is also a Bus transit service between the Renfe station and T1. Trains leave from the airport every 30 minutes and operate from 05:42am to 11:38pm daily (Line R2 North Airport - Sant Celoni / Maçanet Massanes). It takes 25 to 35 minutes to reach the city. You must get off at Barcelona-Sants (main train station) and the metro is available from there to the other parts of the city.

To travel by train/metro, we recommend integrated travel tickets (T10 for Zone 1 costs 9.95€ and is a multi-person travel card for 10 journeys by any public transport means within the city of BCN) which can be bought from the ticket machine at the train station (note that to reach UAB a 2 zones ticket is needed).

There is a new metro line L9 Sud that connects both airport Terminals to the city of Barcelona. The price for the ticket from the airport is 4,90 €; please note that you cannot use a normal Zone 1 ticket or any of the integrated tickets for this service. To get to Plaça Catalunya, you will need to change to L1 at Torrassa.
