Barcelona
Spain
Hotel 1898 **** is conveniently located in Barcelona’s historic city centre Ciutat Vella. It is furthermore situated on La Rambla. The main road that divides the neighbourhoods of El Gotic and El Raval, and connects Placa Catalunya with the port; it doesn’t get more central than this!
BY PLANE
Barcelona is served mainly by Barcelona-El Prat Airport, found just outside the city, around 15km from the city centre. Low-cost airlines, mainly Ryanair, also fly to Girona–Costa Brava Airport, around 100km north of Barcelona. However, it is far quicker, easier and cheaper to get to Barcelona from El-Prat than Girona.
HOW TO GET FROM THE AIRPORTS TO THE HOTEL
Getting to the hotel from Barcelona-El Prat airport:
- By taxi: Taxis are located outside all the main terminal exits and operate all night. Journeying to the city centre usually takes 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. The cost is around 25€ from T2 and 30€ from T1 (which is further), with surcharges for luggage. Be sure to take an official, black and yellow Barcelona taxi.
- By train: A cheap and fast way of getting to and from the airport. Trains run every 30 minutes or so to Barcelona, taking around 25 minutes. A single ticket from the airport costs around 4€. A cheaper option, however, particularly if you plan on using public transport during your stay, is the T10 ticket. For 10.30€ it is valid for 10 journeys (including the airport zone) with no expiry date. It can also be shared by more than one person at a time and works on trains, buses and trams.
When taking the train, get off at Passeig de Gracia; then either switch to the metro, taking line 3 (green) down to Liceu, or walk (about 10 minutes in all): proceed down the road and diagonally cross the Placa Catalunya square, continue down La Rambla to the hotel.
- By bus: Aerobus run express buses between the airport and city centre. Tickets are 5.90€ for a single and 10.20€ return. Get off at Plaça de Catalunya.
At night the NitBus (night bus) N17 runs from Terminal 1 and the N16 from Terminal 2. A single ticket is 2.15€ (you can also use the T10). They also stop around Plaça de Catalunya.
Getting to the hotel from Girona–Costa Brava airport:
- By bus: The most convenient method; the Barcelona Bus to Barcelona city centre, run by Sagalés, coincides with Ryanair flight times. A return ticket costs 25€ and can be purchased from the Sagalés booth at the airport. The bus goes to Barcelona Nord bus station and the closest metro from there is Arc de Triomf (line 1, red); it is then only two stops to Pl. Catalunya. Those not arriving on a Ryanair flight should check if their flight time coincides with a Barcelona Bus, otherwise it may be necessary to take a train from Girona city centre.
- By train: First take a bus (part of the Sagalés service) to Girona city centre, buses leave at 30 minutes past each hour and take 25 minutes. Returning, buses leave on the hour from Girona Bus Station. A single ticket is around 2€ and a return around 4€. From there you can take a train to Barcelona Sants, journey times depend on the train, but are usually around 40 minutes. From Sants, take the metro line 3 (green) to Liceu.
BY METRO
The closest metro stops are Pl. Catalunya served by line 1 (red) and 3 (green), and Liceu served by line 3 (green). From Pl. Catalunya simply walk down La Rambla (on the southern corner of the square) to the hotel. Liceu exits directly onto La Rambla.
