Getting to the hotel from Barcelona-El Prat airport:
- By taxi: Taxis are located outside all the main terminal exits and usually take 20 to 30 minutes to get to the city centre, costing around €25 from T2 and €30 from T1 (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 airport from the airport costs around €4. A far more cost-efficient ticket, especially if you plan on using public transport during your stay, is the T10 – costing €10.40, it is valid for 10 journeys with no expiry date, on buses, trams and trains (and includes the airport zone). It can also be shared by more than one person at a time.
When taking the train, get off at Passeig de Gracia; from there it’s a minute walk to the hotel.

- By bus: The 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, from which it is around a 10 minute walk to the hotel. At night there are two night buses (NitBus) the N17 from Terminal 1 and the N16 from Terminal 2. Ticket price for a single is €2.15. You can also use the T10 on this bus. They also stop around Plaça de Catalunya.

Getting to the hotel from Girona–Costa Brava airport:  
- By bus: The most convenient route is the Barcelona Bus (which coincides with Ryanair flight arrivals), run by Sagalés. They operate buses that coincide with Ryanair flight times, to Barcelona’s city centre. A return ticket costs €25 and can be purchased from the Sagalés booth at the airport.
The bus terminates at Barcelona Nord bus station, the closest metro from there is Arc de Triomf (served by line 1, red); it is then only one stop to Urquinaona, a 10 minute walk from the hotel.

- 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 Paseo de Gracia, a few minutes’ walk from the hotel.

The closest metro stop is Paseo de Gracia, served by line 2 (purple), line 3 (green) & line 4 (yellow).
Plaça de Catalunya is large square and an important transport hub. It served by metro line 1 (red) and 3 (green). From there it is a 10-minute walk to the hotel. Walk up Paseo de Gracia, (one of the main streets that join the square) the hotel will be on your right.
