How to get there: UAB campus in Bellaterra∗
(∗) We reproduce here the th-IFAE
notes.
Bellaterra is a town outside the Barcelona Metropolitan Area, but can be reached very easily from downtown Barcelona or the Airport by public transportation. |
| From the Airport to Plaça de Catalunya |
|---|
| The recommended method is to get to Plaça de Catalunya from the airport by train, by the "Blue Bus" or by taxi. The train (renfe) leaves the railway station close to the airport every 30 minutes and it costs about 2€; it gets to the downtown in less than 25 minutes. The Blue Bus (labeled "Aeroport") leaves the airport every 15 minutes and takes 20-25 minutes to arrive to Plaça de Catalunya (its end destination). The price is 3€. By taxi the drive takes about 15 to 20 minutes and the price should be of the order of 20€. |
| From Plaça de Catalunya to UAB |
Once in Plaça de Catalunya the easiest way to get to
the UAB is to take the train called
Ferrocarrils de
la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC). Enter the
Ferrocarrils underground station at the beginning
of the "Ramblas", a street which everyone knows in
Barcelona. The entry it is at the Eastern edge of
Plaça de Catalunya, the "sea side", and it is common
for the Ferrocarrils and the Metro.
Once there follow the sign of the Ferrocarrils. At
the Ferrocarrils station there are trains
departing to several end destinations. To get to the UAB
take the train in the direction of Sabadell
(line  ).
Trains leave towards Sabadell every 12 minutes
on working days, and at somewhat longer intervals on
week-ends and holidays. The trip takes about 35 minutes and
costs around 2.5 €
The name of the stations and the
end destination (Sabadell) are displayed in luminous panels
at the appropriate isle, and also on the side of the trains
themselves.
On working days there are a few trains which
come to the UAB only, and they do not continue to Sabadell;
they are labeled line line  .
|
| Via ferrocarrils station of Sarrià |
| An alternative way of coming from the airport to the UAB is to take a taxi to the Ferrocarrils station of Sarrià, located at the end of "Via Augusta", and enter the train there. The taxi to the Sarrià Station takes the same time than to Plaça de Catalunya, but one is already almost halfway to Bellaterra by train. |
| From the airport to UAB |
| Yet another way, is to take a taxi directly from the airport to the UAB Campus. The price should be of the order of 35 €. |
