Girona–Costa Brava Airport (GRO) is commonly used as an alternative airport for travellers visiting Barcelona. It is located approximately 90 km from the city centre, taking around 1 hour and 10 minutes by road. There are three direct means of transportation available from Giron Airport to Barcelona: taxi, private transfer, and bus. The fastest and most convenient options are to take a Barcelona Airport taxi or private transfer, as these services are door-to-door.
For those after something more budget-friendly, the Girona Airport Bus, also known as the Barcelona Bus, is the only direct mode of public transport. The bus will take you directly to the city centre of Barcelona in around 1 hour and 10 minutes. You can also catch the train, although this option is the least practical as the route is not direct.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Barcelona at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
