Barcelona Official Airport Site

The majority of visitors to Sitges arrive via Barcelona's Aeroport del Prat, which is located some 20km from Sitges. To get to Sitges from the airport there are three options, train, bus and taxi... unless you are brave enough to rent your own car and drive on the Spanish motorways.


By Train - From the Airport (BCN - El Prat)

When you arrive at the airport, go through arrivals and follow the signs for the Train Station (Marked RENFE). You will see a long walkway that operates between Terminal A and B.

Get on any of the trains and then get back off at the first stop, El Pratt de Llobregat station. This has been completely redesigned and is now underground. Go up the escalator, turn left and then go immediately down the next escapator. Take the train that says "Vilanova G" on the front. Watch the signs and get off at the Sitges Stop. It takes approximately 20 minutes. (Subject to change due to current rail works)

Important Notes:

After 10.25 p.m. or 22.25 your only option is The Mon Bus is the best option which now leaves between Terminal B & C. (see below) Or you could take a taxi, which costs approximately EUR 50.

By Train - From the Barcelona Centre

You need to get the train from Sants or Paseo de Gracia station. Journey time is currently running at 1 hour due to the extensive construction of a high-speed train line which is due to be completed in late 2007.

By Bus from Barcelona Centre

Sitges is well by buses. Take Bus Number N30, from Ronda Universitat near Plaza Catalunya and from Gran Via next to Plaza Espana. The bus leaves every hour on the hour up until 4am, so you can party in Barcelona and still get the bus home.

By Taxi from the Airport (El Prat)

Taxi's (normally Black and Yellow Mercedes) are lined up outside the arrivals hall. The average fare is approximately EUR 60 but you might find someone nice and cute to share the cost, if you are lucky. Make sure you have your destination written down clearly and hand it to the taxi driver. Otherwise he may "ms-interpret" you and take you on a round trip of Barcelona.

You then have 2 options to get to Sitges. You can take the "AutoPista" or "Por La Costa", the Motorway or via the cost road. The coast road is indeed very beautiful but can be quite a journey. However if it is your first time in Sitges then it is worth the trip, just to see how mad the Spanish boys are on their motorbikes. The views of the Mediterranean are spectacular. Allow 40 minutes for this journey. The alternative motorway option takes 20 minutes. Book Online
