Metro to Airport

Metro to Barcelona Airport: useful, but plan your connection

L9 Sud connects Aeroport T1 and Aeroport T2 with the Barcelona metro network. It is practical when your hotel is near a good connection and you travel light, but it is not always the easiest choice for the old town, beach areas or hotels that need several changes.

• Look for the airport metro signs after baggage claim.
• L9 Sud connects Aeroport T1 and Aeroport T2 with the Barcelona metro network in about 30-32 minutes.
• Trains run frequently, with TMB advertising service around every 7 minutes.
• Check whether your ticket type covers the airport metro before entering.
• Expect at least one transfer if your destination is the Gothic Quarter, Barceloneta or many central hotels.
