Getting to Barcelona Airport in the early morning

Hi all. We will be needing to get from the Sagrada Familia area in Barcelona to the airport with an arrival time at the airport of approximately 5:00 AM. does anyone have any advice on how to do this?

At those hours you're very likely to find a taxi in the street, just hail one when they pass by (it has to have the green pilot on the roof on). Given the area, I doubt you'll have to wait more than say 15' to see one. Also there's a taxi rank at Sagrada Família. Alternatively, if you prefer to pre-book the night before... some taxi companies (in random order!): Taxi Class Rent tel.933070707 www.taxiclassrent.com ||| Barnataxi tel. 933222222 www.barnataxi.com ||| Ràdio Taxi 033 tel.933033033 www.radiotaxi033.com ||| Servi-Taxi tel.933 300 300 www.servitaxi.com ||| Taxi Ecològic tel.932783000 http://taxiecologic.com ||| Taxi Amic tel.934208088 www.taxi-amic-adaptat.com ||| Fono-Taxi tel.933001100 http://www.fonotaxi.net/

Metro opens at 5am, same than Aerobus -which btw departs from Plaça Catalunya, a bit far from your hotel/apt.

Thank you, Enric! After reading some other topics I have to admit I was hoping you would reply to my question. I had thought a taxi would be the best option but was not sure how easy it would be to find one so early. Thanks again!

My pleasure. Have a nice trip and enjoy your stay... Don't forget to check http://lameva.barcelona.cat/en to check the activities happening in the city when you visit.

In any case, re:taxi, don't play it too thin... sometimes those 15' can turn into more :))

In February, I took a taxi on Saturday night, around 7 p.m. My hotel ordered it for me earlier in the day. €40.

When I have such an early departure, I actually always try to stay at the airport with a shuttle. I get more sleep that way. I am researching the hotels right now at the airport. Enjoy your adventure.
