Barcelona's El Prat is one of the busiest airports in Europe. It is also the second largest in Spain and 10th busiest in

Europe as of 2016. It is well-located at just 13 kilometres south west from Barcelona’s city centre. Being a major hub for tourist, business and internal (between Madrid and Barcelona) passengers, it has very good transport and transfer options. All the expected options are available at Barcelona Airport, such as local trains, buses and taxi services, as well as connections to national bus and train routes. However, most people happily prefer a taxi to get from the airport because it is quicker, and most people do not want to carry their luggage on busses and trains.
