| Arrival Information |
| |
Arriving by air: Barcelona Airport is 12 km out of the city. There are various ways of getting from the airport to the city centre. |
| |
 |
|
Taxi
Do not accept transportation offers from people at the airport terminal. They are most likely illegal and will charge abusive prices.
The black-and-yellow taxis can be hired on the spot. Use only official TAXIS which can be found at designated stops outside the terminals. You will have to queue to get one. The cost of the ride from the airport to the University can vary depending on several factors like traffic, night fee after 11 p.m., etc. The average fare from the airport is approximately 18€ to Sants Station, and around 25€ to any other point in the city centre.
Although the majority of taxi drivers are friendly and honest with newcomers, there are always some exceptions. The driver's registration license should be clearly visible on the dashboard. Make sure that the driver turns on the meter! If you think you have been charged too much, ask for a "RECIBO" (receipt) and make sure the driver annotates the taxi license number and the price on it. After you get a clear and detailed receipt you may pay the requested amount. Only with a detailed receipt and the license number will you be able to file a claim against the driver if you deem it necessary. |
