Barcelona Airport To Sitges

Hi Gary,
I'm hoping you can help me too if possible. I see you have answered a query about getting from Reus Airport to Sitges. I was wondering if the advise you gave still stands? I intend to go to Sitges to meet up with friends in about 4 weeks and don't know what's the best route to take.
1) Fly into Barcelona Prat airport and get a train/bus to Sitges
2) Fly into Reus and get train/bus to Sitges
Any advise or suggestions on either (or the best i.e. least hassle free !!) option would be really greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help

Hi Martin

First off I havent done either journey on public transport but I have driven between Barcelona and Reus Airport a few months ago so know the distances etc.

It is easier to get to Sitges by Bus or Train from Barcelona as it is just a busier airport! I took this information off Barcelona Tourist Guide for you:

Barcelona Airport Transfer to Sitges

There are two means of public transport to Sitges from Barcelona Airport the they are the MonBus and the RENFE train (includes a change of train at Barcelona Sants rail station)

Which one you take will depend on your flight details because the MonBus service only runs approximately every 2 hours
The MonBus service.

The MonBus service runs from Barcelona airport to the following stations and includes the popular destination of Sitges.

Barcelona City Centre > Bellvitge >Barcelona Airport > Ribes > Sitges > Rocamar > Roquetes > Villanova> Cubelles> Cunit > Segur > Calafell > El Vendrell

El Vendrell > Calafell > Segur > Cunit > Cubelles > VillaNova > Roquetes > Rocamar > Sitges > Ribes >Barcelona Airport >Bellvitge > Barcelona City Centre

The stops are in order of direction but remember that the MonBus runs in both directions from the airport so make sure you get the bus that is going in the direction you want!

Ticket Price from Barcelona Airport to Sitges

The ticket to Barcelona Airport to Sitges are purchased on the bus (cannot be purchased in advance) and cost 2.80 Euros for adults and children. Children below the age of 4 years travel free of charge.

Furthermore the MonBus office only has a Spanish-speaking attendant.

MonBus Information line operating hours Monday to Friday9:00am - 15:00 and from 16:00 to 20:00

To check operating hours of the MonBus you can call their information line If you don't speak Spanish I recommend that you call the Barcelona tourist information office in the airport to check exact departure times for the MonBus. The tourist information office will have an English Speaking attendant.

Tel: 0034 934 784 704 (Operating hours 09:00-21:00 )



To get there from Reus Airport you woiuld need to get the bus from the airport into Tarragona Bus Station and then get a bus (more or less every hour) from Tarragona up to Sitges. The only problem is that the last buses seem to be at about 9pm which may be no good.

I hope this helps
