Frequently Asked Questions — Getting Around Barcelona

How do I get from Barcelona Airport to the city by Metro?

The L9 Sud (orange line) connects T1 and T2 to the Metro network but requires an airport supplement ticket. A popular alternative is the Aerobus express bus to Plaça Catalunya (about 35 minutes), which avoids the supplement.

Does the T-Casual 10-trip card work on FGC trains and trams?

Yes — the T-Casual card works across Barcelona Metro, FGC trains within Barcelona fare zones, trams, and city buses. It is the most cost-effective option for stays of 2–5 days.

Is there a direct Metro to Sagrada Família?

Yes — Sagrada Família station on Lines L2 (purple) and L5 (blue) is directly adjacent to the basilica. From Passeig de Gràcia, Line L5 reaches it in just 5 minutes.
