By air. El Prat Airport is 15 km south-west of the centre of Barcelona. From Viladecans, bus line L99 goes to Terminal T1.

Who it suits
Staying in Viladecans makes sense if your flight leaves very early or you land late at El Prat and don’t want to cross Barcelona. It also works if you are spending a few days in the city and prefer not to stay in the centre: the R2 train gets you there without a car. And if you travel in summer, there is a beach in the municipality itself.
