GETTING FROM BARCELONA AIRPORT (BCN) TO SITGES
If you're not hiring a car there are three options for using public
transport to get from Barcelona Airport to Sitges:
• TRAIN
Pros: the cheapest option with a fare of about 3 Euros per person
each way (the price varies slightly depending if you are travelling on a
weekday, Saturday, Sunday or bank holiday), with trains departing every 30
minutes or so during the day and late into the evening (last departure is
usually 2340hrs):
Cons: the trains are busy; a change of station is required at 'El
Prat de Llobregat'; you may have a short wait at El Prat for a connecting
train; ongoing rail construction work on the line and station at El Prat
rail station may affect your journey
Most clients use the train to make their transfer and once you've done it
once you'll probably find it a doddle, with most journeys completed in about
45 minutes, but if you can and your arrival time suits, we now recommend
using the airport bus service detailed below (the more people use this, the
more likely it'll be kept on or increased in service: it's quicker and a
'direct' service!): The trains and rail stations serving Barcelona Airport
and El Prat are easy targets for pick-pockets: no matter how busy the train
or station is: keep you wits about you.
An indication of train times can be found on the
Sitgestour:com website, but always check the local timetable for
updates:
• BUS
Pros: quicker than the train; no need to make a connection as it is a
direct service; still well priced at 3 Euros per person each way
Cons: only an hourly service during the day, with a reduced service
on Saturdays, Sunday and bank holidays
'Monbus' operate an
airport bus service that operates from BARCELONA - BARCELONA AIRPORT - RIBES
- SITGES (and on down the coast to El Vendrell) and vice versa, using
distinctively marked red and white buses/coaches: At Barcelona Airport, the
bus stop is located outside the terminal B, next to the 'Techinal
Block', and the bus sets down and picks-up at the bus stops by the Oasis
shopping centre in the centre of Sitges with a journey time of 45 minutes.

• TAXI
Pros: the quickest journey time of about 25 minutes; you
don't have to share with anyone else!
Cons: the most expensive fare: a vehicle for 3 people
costs about 65 Euros (£50) fare each way - always confirm the
fare with the driver before you depart; many Barcelona airport
taxi drivers do not know the location of Sitges hotels
The driver may ask 'via autopista?' to see if
you want the quickest route via the motorway and toll tunnels -
the price he gives should include the tolls. You can pre-book
private transfers with us at the following rates - there will be
a driver waiting for you at the airport so there's no language
hassles!
