Barcelona Port Question

[sarasotascott]

A cruise we have booked ends in Barcelona and we are planning on doing the early walk off with our luggage so we can get to the airport quickly.  Are the taxis located right as you exit the ship?  I seem to remember shuttle buses but I don't remember seeing taxis next to the ship?  I don't want to have to walk a long way with our luggage or do the in and out of the blue shuttle buses.  

 

Thanks,

Scott

Yes, each terminal at the port has taxis located near it.  In my experience, multiple taxis were there at all times and new ones came in as fast as people left in one.  While there was a line for the taxis, it moved almost continuously.  Early in the morning, we didn't really even have a wait for a taxi.  By the time we got to the loading area, we were next for a taxi. 

 

The shuttle buses are used if you wish to transport to the foot of Las Ramblas (Columbus monument).

The last time I was there, taxis were plentiful. They know when the ships are in!

There is an online fare calculator:

Plenty of taxis at the port.

Do we need a taxi from the port to get to the train station to get to Tarragona?

Yes.

With luggage you will probably want a cab to go anywhere in Barcelona.
