Flying to Reus with Ryanair

Dani — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 08:41:49 +0000

If you are travelling to Barcelona with Ryanair, be aware that you are not flying directly to Barcelona airport but to either Reus or Girona which in fact are more than 100km away from Barcelona.

Reus airport is located just 3km from Reus, 13km from Tarragona and 110km to Barcelona.

However, don’t panic as Ryanair in conjunction with Hispano Igualadina organize a direct bus service between Reus Airport and Barcelona (Estació de Sants) so each single Ryanair flight is covered by this bus service. The journey from Reus to Barcelona is 1:30h.

Once you get to Estació de Sants you can use public transport (metro L1 – Sants Estació or taxi) to go wherever you accommodation is.

Ticket prices:

One way	€12
Return	€21

* Tickets are paid directly to the driver.

If you are travelling to Barcelona with Ryanair, be aware that you are not flying directly to Barcelona airport but to either Reus or Girona which in fact are more than 100km away from Barcelona.

Girona airport is located just 18km from Girona and 100km from Barcelona.

However, don’t panic as Ryanair in conjunction with Sagalés Company organize a direct bus service between Girona Airport and Barcelona (Estació del Nord) so each Ryanair flight is covered. From Estació del Nord you can use public transport (metro L1 – Arc de Triomf or taxi) to go to whereever your accommodation is.

Taxi Fares and Supplements 2010

Dani — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 13:30:32 +0000

Barcelona’s Metropolitan Transport Authority (EMT) announced last December that 2009 taxi fare prices will remain unchanged in 2010.

How is the fare calculated?

Basically there is a minimum fare, just to start the meter, and after that a fee per km is applied (see Basic fares table below). On top of that there are number of supplements (see Supplements table below).

Basic fares:

	T-1*	T-2*	T-3*
Meter start	€2.00	€2.00	€5.25
Km charges	€0.86	€1.10	€0.59
Waiting hour	€18.60	€18.80	€16.24
Applicable	Monday to Sunday from 21h to 7h (inside Barcelona city)	Monday to Friday from 7h to 21h (inside Barcelona city)	24/7 outside Barcelona city

Supplements:

	T-1*	T-2*
Trips to and from the Airport	€3.10	€3.10
Trips to and from the Port	€2.10	€2.10
Trips to and from Fira exhibition centre	€2.10	€2.10
Luggage (>55×35X35)	€1.00	€1.00
Special nights **	€3.10	€3.10
Weekend nights ***	€3.10	€3.10

*T-1 and T-2 would be city fares, and T-3 would be inter-city fares.
** 23-24 June, 24-25, 31 Dec and 1 Jan from 21h to 7h
*** Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays from 21h to 7h.

Remember that you should only pay what the taxi meter indicates. I would also recommend that you always ask for a receipt.

For a complete fare list and any other information, please check the Institut Metropolita del Taxi (taxi regulator).

Touristic Bus

Touristic Bus Barcelona

The Bus Turístic (Touristic Bus) is the easiest and best way to get to know Barcelona as it allows to hop on hop off as many times as you want with the same ticket allowing you to visit the main attractions of Barcelona.

There are 3 different routes that cover the entire city, Roja (RED), Azul (BLUE) and Verde (GREN). The best routes are by far the RED and the BLUE ones, the GREEN one covers and area that it is not specially beautiful or has something interesting to see so I would skip the GREEN one.

The BLUE route includes the Montjuïc area (Olympic Stadium, Poble Espanyol, MNAC, the Joan Miró Foundation, …) and has great views of the city and the Port so those of you that like taking pictures will love it. This route also covers the Port Olímpic, Ciutadella Park (Parliament and the Zoo), Plaça Catalunya and the Passeig the Gracia where it is possible to visit to of the most beautiful buildings of the city, the Pedrera and the Casa Batlló, both designed by the famous architect Antoni Gaudí.

The RED route includes the Plaça Catalunya, the Passeig de Gràcia where it is possible to visit the Pedrera and the Casa Batlló, the Sagrada Familia (designed by Antoni Gaudí) the Park Güell (again designed by Antoni Gaudí), the Monastir de Pedralbes and the Camp Nou (FC Barcelona stadium).

Tip: The GREEN route is quite poor so I would focus only on the RED and BLUE ones.

Price:

1 Day adult: €21.00
1 Day child (age 4-12): €13.00
2 Days adult: €27.00
2 Days child (age 4-12): €17.00

Where can tickets be bought?

At any bus, just ask the bus driver.

Tickets can also be bought online. However in my opinion it is not recommended as the price is exactly the same as if you bought the ticket directly to the bus driver (no discount) and you have to pay the posting of the tickets to your home address (or wherever you want them posted to) so it is too much hassle.

Transport fares in Barcelona 2009

Dani — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 18:51:56 +0000

These are the new Bus and Metro fares for 2009 in Barcelona:

Single ticket (1 journey): €1.35

Travelcards (multi-journey)
Number of Days	Price
1 Day (T-Dia)	€5.80
2 Days	€10.70
3 Days	€15.20
4 Days	€19.50
5 Days	€23.10

The above are valid for an unlimited number of journeys in as many consecutive days as printed on the card (e.g. the 2 Day card is valid for an unlimited number of journeys in 2 days, and so on).

These are valid on all means of transport (Metro, Bus network, Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat urban lines, Renfe’s Rodalies train network and the TRAM).

Apart from the above, there is also a T-10 card (valid for 10 journeys) for €7.70.

In my opinion, this is the most interesting card as it can be used by different people and the price is very reasonable.

There are other travelcards for longer periods of time, although these would be for people living in Barcelona rather than tourists.

Long Period Travelcards
Travelcard Name	Price
T-50/30*	€31.50
T-Mes**	€47.90

*T-50/30 – Valid for 50 journeys in 30 consecutive days.

** T-Mes – Valid for an unlimited number of journeys in 30 consecutive days.
