There are different transport options for tourists, but the most comfortable is undoubtedly a private driver who will take you to your accommodation or point of interest. This way you avoid the exhausting journeys with the suitcases behind you and therefore allowing you to immediately start your holidays in Barcelona in the best possible way.
The most multifaceted Spanish city, global reference for being a cultural and artistic centre. It is simultaneously multi-ethnic and conservative. Barcelona is this and more.
It is also an industrial, economic, tourist and cultural centre. It is too charming not to fall in its embrace. Located to the north-east of the Iberian Peninsula, just over 150 km from the nearest French city, it manages to tap into the freshness of the nights coming from the Pyrenees and the warm, humid temperatures of the Mediterranean Sea, with views of the Olympic port (built for the 1992 Olympic Games), the city is a true tourist attraction and the heart of the Catalan economy.
Second only to Madrid by number of inhabitants, the Catalan capital hosts millions of people each year from around the world and arrivals come as tourists, students, business people or simply curious.

El Prat Airport
How to get to the Catalan capital? Through the main entrance, obviously! Barcelona's International Airport, or better known as "El Prat de Llobregat" (different from Girona Airport which is more than 90 km north of the city centre), is located to the southwest about 14 km from the historic city centre.
Originally divided into two places separated by a few hundred metres (El Remolar and El Prat), it was only unified in 1941, launching its first non-continental flight to New York.
In 2012 alone, almost 35 million passengers passed through the gates of the Catalan airport. Today it is home to low-cost and regular airlines, which travel to and from anywhere in the world. A single building is reserved for the "Puente Aéreo" ("Air Bridge") between Madrid and Barcelona, with flights departing every fifteen minutes to and from the Iberian capital.
Private Taxi Service at El Prat Airport
The real problem for first-time visitors to the city, who often rely on public transport to get from the airport to the city centre is risking wandering more than half a day in the heart of the traffic (Barcelona is also a metropolis of 3.5 million inhabitants, including the suburban area) or relying on unlicensed and unscrupulous taxi drivers. Not to mention that we often get dropped off far away, instead of getting close to the destination. Huge suitcases and children's cries make up the rest.
