Getting there
Flying
Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) is the closest major airport, about a 20-30-minute drive away. Flights from the US leave in the evening and get there the next morning, please add that to account when booking flights.
We will add links to track flights once the May 2027 schedules are published.
Getting an Uber, Lyft, or cab to and from the hotel should be around $30-50, depending on your stay.
Getting around
Barcelona has a very regulated taxi system as well as Ubers, buses, and the metro.
