FROM THE CRUISE PORT TO THE APARTMENT
The quickest way would be by taxi. I would take about 15 minutes and should cost around €20.00 (which includes the supplement from the port) plus a little surcharge for each suitcase.
FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE APARTMENT
The journey is between 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the time of the day.
You have quite a variety of transport options:
TAXI: Travelling by taxi is a convenient way to get from the airport to the city center, especially if you have a family or a lot of luggage (be aware that most fo the taxis holds only 4 passengers).
Look for the sign pointing to the nearest taxi rank. The taxis operate all night and there are several hundred of them so you don't have to worry about not being able to catch a cab.
Expect to pay around € 35.00. There will also be an additional surcharge charge for each bag you're carrying. You'll find the rates displayed inside the cab.
All official Barcelona taxis are black and yellow and are required to charge you only the value on the meter (including a supplement for travelling from or to the Airport, and also a surcharge for each suitcase).
Train RENFE: The RENFE train service runs approximately every 30 minutes to and from Barcelona airport to the city center. Travel time approximately 30 minutes. You can purchase a T10 ticket at the entrance to the train platform at Barcelona Airport (it would permit you 10 underground, train or bus trips into the city).
If travelling from the airport to the city center you can get off at Barcelona Sants. From there you can change for the Barcelona underground system to your final destination, Verdaguer metro stop (L5 or blue line). Then you must walk 15 minutes to reach the apartment.
AEROBUS: Aerobus is the bus service that connects the Airport with the centre of Barcelona leaving every 5 minutes, every day of the year.
In approximately 35 minutes can go or return to either of the Airport Terminals (T1 or T2) comfortably and economically, without having to change stations or stops. The route covers strategic stops in the city. Single ticket: € 5, 90(all children under 4 years free ticket).
The Aerobus will then take you to Plaça de Catalunya (where the line finishes).). From there you have to reach Plaça Catalunya by metro (L1 or red line) and go to Sant Andreu stop. After 3 minute on foot you will reach the apartment.
BIKES: Barcelona is a bike friendly city, with a good net of bike lanes. Because of our warm climate, cycling could be a good way to sightseeing and do some sport at the same time.
As to rent a bike, there are lots on offer everywhere in Barcelona.
CAR: Since Barcelona is organised in green areas (for residents) and blue areas (paying and short time parking), it is difficult to park in the street. But there are lots of parking lots in this neighborhood.
