Q: My flight arrives to Barcelona at 2:30 am and as far as I know means of public transportation are not available so late. Is there any private transportation available during the night?

A: You are right, public transportation between El Prat and Barcelona, including bus 46 of TMB, the Aerobus, trains and the metro do not work at night. The metro is exception because during the weekend it works also at night (for additional information – Public Transportation in Barcelona). Besides these, taxis are more expensive in this time of the day (for additional information – Barcelona Airport Private Transfer or Taxi).

Nevertheless vehicles of Barcelona Airport Private Transfer are operating continuously, also during the night. In addition to this, it is a quick, convenient and direct transportation method (for additional information – Drop-Off Points of Barcelona Airport Private Transfer and Stops of Barcelona Airport Private Transfer). Of course, there is a price for this luxury treatment. Barcelona airport private transfer is considered to be the most expensive method to arrive from the airport to Barcelona. If your budget is strict, we suggest to use a night bus.

If your flight arrives at Terminal 1 on El Prat (BCN), you need to wait for bus nr. N17. To Terminal 2 arrives another bus: nr. N16. Both of them are working during the whole night (for additional information – Airport Night Bus: NitBus N17 and Visit Barcelona at night). If you land at Girona/Costa Brava airport (GRO) or at the airport of Reus (REU), there aren’t any public transportation possibilities during the night, so in spite of the high prices you need to settle for a taxi or a private transfer.
