Local Information
The accomodation provided for the school is divided between the
Residencia d'Investigadors and the
Hostal centric. Both are very near the school venue, which is very close to Plaça Catalunya, in the city center.
To get from the airport to near the venue or to your accomodation, there are two main options:
1. Taxi: The fare from the airport to the city center ranges between 30-40€ (depending on traffic and the time of day). You can request a receipt and pay by card, but splitting the fee might not be possible.
2. Bus: The Aerobus runs from both airport terminals to Plaça Catalunya (last stop), which is a 15-minute walk from the accommodations above, and a 10-minute walk from the venue. The fare is 7.25€ (12.5€ for a round-trip ticket).
Please note that while Barcelona is a very safe city, it is also highly touristy, so there is a risk of
pickpocketing. Please remain vigilant, especially at night and in busy areas.
