What is travel time Barcelona airport to city centre?

The airport bus journey takes about 35 minutes for A1 and 35 minutes for A2.
It is a good idea to add 15-30 minutes during rush hour as traffic conditions can vary.

A good tip to remember is that most people board this bus at Plaza Catalunya and the bus can be quite full during peak season, so if you are boarding on a stop nearer the airport a good tip is to be a little early to allow for missing a bus that is full.
