bethco Posted August 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I take the Aerobus and walk to my hotel near Plaza Catalunya, It also makes other stops. If your hotel is close to Pl Catalunya or Pl Espanya that is a very easy way to go as long as you are able to maneuver your luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ollienbertsmum Posted August 18, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I take the Aerobus and walk to my hotel near Plaza Catalunya, It also makes other stops. If your hotel is close to Pl Catalunya or Pl Espanya that is a very easy way to go as long as you are able to maneuver your luggage. The best place to discuss this would be the Barcelona port board. However..... My first thought was to say that the Aerobus is the best option, but given that there are 7 adults, it may well work out cheaper to book a van anyway. Even if the taxis are not on strike you would have to get two (depends on the amount of luggage you have). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saman Posted August 18, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I live in Spain and not heard anymore about strikes in near future , i often travel to BCN and have used the cheaper bus to plaza españa under 2 euros ,or as others have said Aerobus depends on where your hotel is ,and take note if there is a strike you could have also trouble using a shuttle ,pm me if you want me to keep you informed if i hear anything about future strikes.

Stangirl Posted August 18, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 18, 2018 We booked Autos Vilar for all our transfers (airport to apartment/apartment to port/port to airport) for 6 people and were happy with their service.

besberry Posted August 18, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 18, 2018 We took the Metro earlier this year. A bit convoluted but dead cheap. The Metro station was right by our hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jani Posted August 18, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 18, 2018 We used https://www.suntransfers.com/ in April for our Symphony cruise and the experience was very smooth (not to mention relatively cheap). Usually we have just taken taxis in Barcelona but wanted to try something else for once. -jani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wine-O Posted August 18, 2018 #13 Share Posted August 18, 2018 We will be arriving BCN Sept 8th and had heard there could be another taxis strike:o in September. What other options for transportation is there that are reputable. We have 7 adults. Thanks With 7 adults with luggage, I would look at Zip Transfers. We've used them twice, once from the pier to the airport, and once from our hotel to the ship. they were very reasonably priced and on time.

mkam2821 Posted August 18, 2018 #15 Share Posted August 18, 2018 With another couple that we met on our role call a few years back we booked a half day tour (I think it was with Barcelona Day tours). They picked us up, gave us an overview of the city and then brought us and all of our luggage to our hotel right in time for check in. The cost was only minimally more than a taxi and we got to see the city and not have to worry about what to do with ourselves or our luggage until we could check in!

Eah time that have met me at the airport gate of my arriving flight with a sign. Thanks I have sent a message to them to take us from airport to hotel, from hotel to ship and then from ship back to airport...price was very reasonable for 7 adults each with luggage and carryons.

Thanks for your reply I have contacted Bohigas and they are very reasonably priced Hotel Colonial seems a good choice and you are much better of with the private transfer or taxi to get there ,how long are you in Barcelona the Monjuic fountain show is lovely to see but its not on every night its near Plaza España ,if you do go there you could also go to Barcelona Arena if you go in the lift to the top there are lots of restaurants.
