Arriving to Barcelona

By train: The main station is “Barcelona Sants” where several international trains arrive. From this station you can take a train directly to Sabadell (see below).

By plane: Barcelona –El Prat Airport is an international airport well connected by train, bus (called Aerobus) and taxi. The airport is close to Barcelona city and we recommend going to Barcelona City by aerobus (you should get off at “Plaça Catalunya”) or by train (getting off at “Barcelona Sants”). Aerobus have got a high frequency and good service.

From Barcelona to Sabadell:

From “Barcelona Sants” station to Sabadell: in working days, trains from Barcelona Sants to Sabadell have a frequency of 15 minutes. Take the C4 line of Renfe Cercanías destination “Manresa” or “Terrassa”, and after 36 minutes get off at “Sabadell Centre”. “Sabadell Centre” station is very close to the center of Sabadell and easily you can easily find the town hall as reference point.

From “Plaça Catalunya” station to Sabadell: you can take the “Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat” to Sabadell (Sabadell Rambla station). Take S2 line headed to Sabadell Rambla station and get off the train in the last station (Sabadell Rambla station). S2 line has a frequency of 10 minutes, and is our recommended alternative.
