Arrivals in Barcelona
Barcelona's airport is officially known as Barcelona El Prat Airport. It is situated about fifteen kilometers southwest of the city center. Travelers arriving from London Gatwick will need to pass through Spanish immigration and customs before claiming their baggage in the arrivals hall. From here, it is recommended that you use one of the ATMs or currency exchange offices to obtain some euro, as Canadian dollars and British pounds are not widely accepted in Spain.
To reach the city center by train, the R2 Nord line is a more convenient option than the new metro link. It's also possible to take a dedicated airport shuttle bus or a regular city bus. For travelers hoping to explore Catalonia by car, there are several rental car offices at the Barcelona airport.
