  • Applies only when the route and terminal match.
  • Between these exact stops/stations only, not your accommodation.
  • This guide covers arrivals at Barcelona (BCN) only. Spain trips in our planner may use Madrid (MAD) as their main airport; this time does not apply there.

What this time leaves out

  • Waiting at the stop or platform for the next departure.
  • Airport processing: passport control, baggage, customs and walking through the terminal.
  • Getting from Plaça Catalunya to where you are staying. We do not estimate this part.

So your real door-to-door time from the plane to your accommodation will be longer than this figure.

Before you travel

  • Confirm the current service and the timetable for your arrival day on the operator's page.
  • Which terminal or station will you arrive at?
  • Will you arrive late at night or on a public holiday?
  • How close is your accommodation to the arrival point?

Keep planning
