You Have Arrived In Barcelona!

Ok, so you have finally made the decision to come to Barcelona for a holiday or for whatever reason. It's a big step, you're in a new city and you don't know your way around. Don't worry, searching for your Barcelona accommodation is easy. However, right now all the flights are too expensive and Ryanair are the cheapest. But oh no!, their airports are so far!
Don't worry it's easy.
Basically you can arrive from 2 airports.
You will either fly in to Reus which is in Tarragona, or Girona. Both are roughly an hour and a half from the city so you've still got a bit to go to reach your Barcelona accommodation. Any other big commercial airline and low costs such as Easyjet fly in to El Prat Barcelona international airport which is located about 20 mins outside of the city centre, with a direct bus route to the city centre.

From Reus, their will be a direct bus for each incoming flight and although there is a direct bus from the airport to Barcelona, i would recommend getting of after 5 mins journey, in order to take the train journey along the beautiful coastline to arrive at Sants Estacio, (the same station as the bus). All in, the journey will take roughly 1 hour 30 mins and the cost for the bus to the train station is €2.00 and the train is €9.00. For holiday makers, it would be advised to buy a T-10, (ten journeys) for all public transport. These can be purchased at any metro station. From there, take the gree line to Plaza Catalunya, the central meeting point and tourist area of the city. Also for the journey back to Reus, i would recommend the direct bus from Sants Estacio to Reus airport as it is more efficient and comfortable.
From Girona the journey is slightly less at about 1 hour 15 mins and there is a direct bus from the airport which arrives at Estacio del Norte. The journey is 12 euro single and 22 return. From there you but your T-10 and take the metro called Arc de Triumph across from the station on the red line which is 2 stops from Plaza Catalunya. However be very careful at this metro station as it is the mst notorious for pickpockets due to its high flow of unsuspecting tourists arriving from airport buses.
Once you are at Plaza Catalunya, along with your map it should be easy to find your Barcelona hotel or apartment. Good luck!
