The Airport ticket, EUR 5.90, is the only single valid at Aeroport T1/T2 — one person, and it covers any change to L3, L5 or L1 but not a bus afterward. The ordinary EUR 2.90 single, T-casual, T-familiar and T-grup are all refused here. The T-dia (EUR 12.00, 24 hours) and the Hola Barcelona Travel Card do work.

How to get there

From arrivals to Zona Universitària

Three steps once you have collected your bags.

01

Aeroport T1 station.

02

Buy and validate a ticket

Before boarding — a ticket bought but not validated can be fined.

03

Ride to Zona Universitària

32 min.

Worth knowing

Sunday to Thursday the last train leaves the airport at midnight; Fridays and holiday eves at 02:00; Saturday nights the metro runs all night.

It does not go to the center. The line ends at Zona Universitària: change to L3 there for Catalunya and Passeig de Gràcia, to L5 at Collblanc for Diagonal and Sagrada Família, or to L1 at Torrassa. The change is included in the Airport ticket.

TMB's own page gives two figures for the ride, "only 30 minutes" and "32 minutes"; either way it is longer than the train to Sants, at more than twice the per-head cost of a T-familiar.

Every 7 minutes, serving both terminals directly — the one thing it does that the train does not.

The T-dia at EUR 12.00 includes one ride each way through the airport gates and unlimited travel for 24 hours, which beats two Airport tickets for anyone staying a day.
