How to get to the Hostel
From Barcelona Airport (El Prat)
- Metro: Take the L9 Sud from the airport to Collblanc, then switch to L5 to Diagonal. From Diagonal, transfer to L6 (now ending at Sarrià instead of Reina Elisenda). From Sarrià, take the L12 directly to Reina Elisenda.
- Bus: The Aerobus still provides service from the airport to Plaça Catalunya. From there, you can take the L6 metro to Sarrià, and then change to L12 to reach Reina Elisenda (Spain Inspired) (tmb).
- Taxi and Ride-Sharing: A taxi remains a straightforward option with an estimated fare of €25-30 for the 20-minute trip. Ride-sharing services like MyTaxi and Cabify are also viable options (Spain Inspired).
