Sitges Flights

There are numerous trains that connect Barcelona with Sitges. It’s a short trip (about 30 minutes). A return Ticket is 4.50 euros. Take the train from Passeig de Gracia train Station or from Sants Station (trains direction to Sant Vicenç de Calders or Vilanova).
For timetables check the web below.

We arrived in time to board a train to leave Sitges, but it took so long for people arriving to get off the train that the doors slammed shut with us and another traveller stood on the platform. We had to wait another 30 minutes to make a 10 minute train journey. So my advice has to be push yourself onto the train - it's rude but it's better than having to wait for the next one (which will also be packed!!).

Easy to get here from Barcelona Airport by changing once.
Also easy to get into Barcelona, but trains do not run all night.

It is very easy to go by train to (and from) Sitges. From Barcelona there is a train almost every 30 minutes to Sitges. The ride takes about 40 minutes in modern comfortable trains.
Also the wiew from the window looking out at the landscape passing by is just worth the trip..........the train many times just goes very close to the beaches/Coast.

During off-tourist season, the return trains between Sitges and Barcelona end earlier than than mentioned in the guide books. Check the timings at the train stations. The guide books also state that there are hourly buses back to Barcelona after the train service ends, but this is only true during tourist season. There are no late night buses in the off-season and the first trains are not until early morning.

When travelling to Barcelona or just to the airport, be warned that they will charge you an extra 10 EUR for the motorway toll.
The meter says less but they will add this sum whether you like it or not. No use arguing- my friends tried and it didn;t work.
Still it;s not a fortune but good to know to avoid surprises.
