(!) The public parking has room for about 500 cars, but there are a lot of people using it everyday. === By Train and Metro === Taking the train from the airport is cheap and easy. The airport station is directly in front of the airport. It also has a direct footpath link, located at the end of Terminal B (next to the Lufthansa check-ins) - see [[http://www.aena.es/cartografia/recinto.jsp?id=7&poi=&t=&p=|this map]]. * Take the train at the airport station (leaves on a half-hourly schedule). * Stop at [[http://www.tmb.cat/en_US/barcelona/moute/planols/lineametroaccesos.jsp?linia=3&estacion=319|Barna Sants]]. * Board a northbound train on the [[http://www.tmb.cat/en_US/barcelona/moute/planols/lineametroplano.jsp?linia=3#|L3 metro (green) line]]. * Stop at the [[http://www.tmb.cat/en_US/barcelona/moute/planols/lineametroaccesos.jsp?linia=3&estacion=314|Zona Universitària]] terminal station (last stop in this direction). * Once here, it is a [[http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=metro+zona+universit%C3%A0ria,+barcelona&daddr=41.382178,2.109273&geocode=&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=18&dirflg=w&sll=41.382098,2.109901&sspn=0.002809,0.004737&ie=UTF8&ll=41.383128,2.110421&spn=0.002809,0.004737&t=h&z=18|few minutes walk]] to the hotel. A complete map of the Barcelona rail and subway system may be downloaded [[http://www.tmb.cat/en_US/barcelona/moute/planols/planols.jsp|this page]]. (!) If you plan to travel a little by metro/bus and around Barcelona, or if you are a group of people sharing the way to the hotel, it is cheaper to buy a [[http://www.tmb.cat/en_US/barcelona/moute/targetes/t_10.jsp|T10 travel card]] instead of a single ticket. The T10 travel card is multiperson and multiday pass. It may be purchased from the ticket vending machine at the airport station. === By Bus === (to be written).
