Renfe does not publish a single-journey fare, though one exists and is cheaper. Instead use TMB's integrated tickets, valid here but refused at the airport metro: the shareable T-familiar, EUR 11.50 for eight rides, or the T-casual, EUR 13.00 for ten. One T-familiar covers a group of up to eight; leftover rides work on city metro and buses for 30 days, except at the two airport metro stations.
A private car to your door: €42 for four
Four pay €11.50 on the Rodalies R2 Nord. The car meets you in arrivals and takes you to any address in Barcelona in about 24 min, at a price fixed when you book ahead with Welcome Pickups.
A partner link: Welcome Pickups pays us a commission on a booking. It has no say in how the options are ranked.

Worth knowing
From Renfe's Cercanías timetable valid 1 October to 27 November 2026: first at 05:40, then 06:08 and at :08 and :38 past each hour. Monday to Friday there are 35 departures a day, the last at 22:38; Saturdays and Sundays 37, the last at 23:38.
A T-casual, T-familiar or T-grup is valid on this train. The same card is refused at the airport metro stations, where you would be made to buy a EUR 5.90 Airport ticket to get out.
Several of you should buy one T-familiar: EUR 11.50, eight rides, one card, validated once per person. Against EUR 5.90 each on the metro that is the whole saving.
A single Rodalies ticket is sold at the station and is cheaper for one person; the price is not published, so it is not shown here.
Every train calls at Sants first, then Passeig de Gràcia, then El Clot-Aragó. Passeig de Gràcia is the stop for Plaça de Catalunya and the Eixample.
The last train is at 22:38 on weekdays and 23:38 on Saturdays and Sundays, and the first at 05:40, every day. Between them only the Aerobús and the night buses run.
