Getting there and around

Arriving: Barcelona El Prat (BCN) is 30 minutes from the center by taxi or Aerobus.

  • The metro is fast and covers the whole city. A T-casual card gives 10 rides.
  • The Aerobus runs every few minutes between the airport and Plaça Catalunya.
  • Taxis are black and yellow and easy to hail.
  • Watch your bag on Las Ramblas and on the metro.

Booking rooms for your wedding group

  • Most guests come in high season (May to June, September to October). Set up a room block or share hotel picks 9 to 12 months ahead, because good rooms go first.
  • Keep guests in one or two areas if you can. Shared shuttles and meeting points get much easier.
  • You can get around here without a car, so a central base near restaurants works well for most guests.
  • Ask hotels for a group rate with no attrition penalty, a cut-off date about 30 to 60 days before the wedding, and free delivery of welcome bags.
