Transfer from Reus International Airport

Airport guide to Barcelona. Getting around the city center. 

Best transfer options, tips and lifehacks 

Traveling to Barcelona is a safe bet, as you will definitely get what you’re looking for in terms of your travel expectations. Besides being an enchanting seaside city, it is also filled with historic buildings and architectural marvels. The city will inspire you just like it inspired artists such as Pablo Picasso, Antoni Gaudi and Joan Miro. But before jumping at the opportunity of getting to know Barcelona and what it offers, let’s look into Barcelona’s airport system first.  

There is only one airport in Barcelona, however there are 2 more in nearby cities of Girona and Reus, that provide transfer options to Barcelona. Although they are over 100 km away from the city, Girona and Reus airports can be attractive to tourists due to cheap flights by the low-budget airlines, however the transfer cost from the airports to Barcelona city center can negate the advantage of cheap flight tickets. But if you’re planning to take a little detour to explore Barcelona surroundings and neighboring towns before getting to the main city, these two airports can serve the purpose. 

Reus Airport is the smallest of the big three in Catalonia. It serves about a million passengers annually and is a perfect option if you’re staying in Tarragona, a well-known northeastern resort-city in Spain, located 10 km from the airport. But if you’re heading to Barcelona, Reus Airport is not the best choice, as it’s over 100 km away from Barcelona downtown. The only reason to choose this airport when heading to Catalonia capital is for its cheap flights. You can find myriad low-cost airlines here. The airport serves mostly European destinations. 

There are not so many direct transfer options to Barcelona. You can either hop on a bus, take a taxi or book a transfer. 

Bus

Getting on a bus is the most affordable, yet time-consuming option. It will take almost two hours to get to Barcelona city center but it’s the ticket cost that will entice you, as it’s only €13. Reus Airport — Barcelona route is served by Hispano Igualadina Bus Company. You can buy tickets from the ticket office in the arrivals terminal. 

Travel time: 1 hour 45 minutes

Ticket cost: €13-15 

Taxi / Transfer

Taking a taxi from Reus Airport to Barcelona is expensive due to the distance, but it’s the most convenient and stress-free option by far. Especially so, if you're getting off a long-haul flight, you might not have the energy to drag your heavy bags around on the bus. Just order a taxi, where you can sit back and relax while the driver takes you to the hotel door or any other destination of your choice. 

However, not every taxi service at Reus Airport is good value for money. An average taxi ride from Reus Airport to Barcelona is about €160, but you can save a buck by ordering a transfer service.
