The Faculty of Physics of the University of Barcelona is not in the city center, but easily accessible by bus and underground (less than 30 min).

1. The cost of a taxi from the Airport is around 20-30 euros (depending on the Terminal) and takes about half an hour.

2. Alternatively, you can take the Aerobus shuttle from the Airport to Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 (every 10 min) to Espanya Square (or Catalunya Square) and afterwards catch the metro (green line, L3, every 5 min) up to Palau Reial stop (15 min journey). Cost 5,90€ one way.

3. Still another alternative from the Airport, is the train departing from Terminal 2 every 30min (20 min journey). From Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 there is a free shuttle bus every 6-7 minutes (BusTransit). Get down at Barcelona-Sants stop and then take the metro (green line, L3, every 5 min) up to Palau Reial stop (15 min journey).
