★★★★★ Excellent service! I used the **Barcelona Aerobus** to travel from the airport to **Plaça Catalunya** and had a really positive experience. The buses are clean, modern, and punctual, with plenty of space for luggage. The connection is direct, fast, and very convenient after a flight. The staff are helpful and tickets are easy to purchase. Great value for money: I definitely recommend it to anyone arriving in Barcelona!

Access from Plaça d'Espagne or Plaça de Catalunya. Fast travel time. Bus frequency. Easy online ticket booking. The rather affordable fare, less than €10 per ticket.

barcelona, what a magnificent city, definitely my favorite, good food, sun, very well served with the 5-day pass "holà Barcelona", on the other hand, it doesn't work on all zones, so you still have to pay 2.65€ per journey each time, which is a shame.

Efficient and fast service! Upon arrival at the gate, the signage to indicate the direction is not perfect, but with a little intuition, it is possible to reach the stop without taking a wrong turn. Purchasing tickets online is very convenient, and the possibility of storing luggage in special racks is practical. The frequency is optimal.

What a great choice to have permanent internet, the price is modest compared to roaming rates in the country of residence. I traveled from Romania to Japan and had stopovers in several countries and the internet worked perfectly in each country. Congratulations to the company that makes it available to travelers.
