Barcelona–El Prat (BCN) is the city’s main international gateway and typically serves as a hub for full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines, so you’ll find a mix of premium and budget options. The airport sits about 12 km southwest of the city center; taxis normally take 20–30 minutes and can be pricier than local alternatives, while the Aerobus shuttle reaches central Plaça de Catalunya in around 30–35 minutes with modest fares. Trains and metro connections provide cheaper, slightly longer journeys, and car hire is widely available. Pros: good international connectivity and modern facilities. Cons: can be busy at peak times and transfers to central neighborhoods vary in cost and speed.

São Paulo is served by three main airports with distinct roles. São Paulo–Guarulhos (GRU) is the primary international hub, typically handling most long-haul and full-service airline traffic; it lies about 25–35 km northeast of downtown and is reachable by express bus or taxi (roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic) and a dedicated rail link being expanded; fares can range from modest bus tickets to higher taxi or ride‑hail costs. Congonhas (CGH) is the city’s domestic/business gateway closer to central São Paulo (about 8–10 km), usually preferred for short-haul flights by legacy carriers; onward travel by taxi or metro-connected bus often takes 20–40 minutes and can be relatively affordable. São Paulo–Viracopos (VCP), located near Campinas roughly 90–110 km from the city center, acts as a secondary international/budget alternative for some low-cost and cargo-focused airlines; travel time by shuttle, bus, or car can be 70–110 minutes with lower fares on intercity buses. Pros: GRU offers wide international connectivity and full-service facilities; CGH is convenient for business travelers due to proximity; VCP can be cheaper on certain routes. Cons: GRU and CGH can be affected by São Paulo traffic, transfers may take time, and VCP’s greater distance adds transit time. Typical ground transport options include intercity buses, airport shuttles, taxis and ride‑hailing, with travel times and fares varying by route and traffic conditions.
