Barcelona Airport: One of the most common ways is the catch a RENFE train from the airport to Estacio De Sants. If you purchased a T10 ticket at the airport you can change here and jump onto the metro at no extra cost to get to your final destination. If you arrive at terminal 1 then you can get a free shuttle bus to the station to catch the RENFE train. There is also the TMB airport bus (number 46). This normally takes a little longer as it makes a few stops but you can use your T10 ticket to get on and off easily. Madrid Airport: There are quite a few ways to get into the centre of Madrid, a cheap and reliable one being the Expres Aeropuerto. It’s a bus which runs very regularly from the arrival Terminals at the airport for a low cost. However, it only makes 2 or 3 stops during its journey so you’ll have to then jump on the metro to get to your final destination. A slightly easier option is to get the metro directly from the airport to the centre of the city. Again you might need to transfer once or twice depending on where you want to end up but it’s a much faster and convenient way to travel. Lastly, you can get a taxi from outside of the airport although this will be a lot more money than the bus or metro. If you have a few friends travelling with you though then you can split the fare and make this more reasonable. Valencia Airport The quickest and easiest way to get to the centre of Valencia is to jump on the metro from the airport. It’s reliable and frequent and a lot quicker than the alternatives. You can opt to get the aero bus which also goes to the city for a couple of euros, however the journey takes close to an hour and it can sometimes be confusing as to where to get the bus from. If you’re not concerned much with the price then you can get a taxi from the airport, it will be considerately more than the public transport but it saves you having to navigate your way around, just be sure to agree a price beforehand and ask for a receipt.
