Barcelona Sants is the main railway station in Barcelona. It has direct rail links with other European cities, including Paris, Zurich, and Milan, and high-speed trains to other major centers in Spain. The city center can be reached easily from Barcelona Sants using public transport. Tickets for local public transport can be purchased from the station.

The Aerobus is an express shuttle bus service between Barcelona Airport and Barcelona city center. There are Aerobuses to and from Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. The TMB Airport Bus Number 46 and Night Bus N17 and N16 are also available for transfers between the airport and the city center. TMB buses are cheaper but are also slower, less frequent, and provide less luggage space than the Aerobuses.

Mobility in Barcelona is easy as a result of its extensive metro, tram, bus, and the city and suburban rail services. The city also has a public bike hire scheme and more than 200 km of bike lanes, as well as a taxi fleet that includes environmentally friendly options.
