Josep Tarradellas El Prat Airport
Getting between Josep Tarradellas El Prat Airport and Barcelona, both directions. Pick your terminal below: what serves BCN differs by terminal.
Only one of the three airports is on the network your city ticket covers. El Prat has both metro and Rodalies stations, though the metro platforms there take a separate non-integrated airport ticket rather than the T-mobilitat products you use in town, and no bank card at all. Girona and Reus are a long-distance coach ride away — Sagalés from Girona, Monbus from Reus — each selling a ticket of its own.
