Getting there
- Metro: L4 (yellow line) to El Maresme|Fòrum, a short walk from the site. L4 connects with L1 at Urquinaona, L3 at Passeig de Gràcia and L2 at La Pau.
- Tram: line T4 to the Fòrum stop.
- On festival nights, TMB usually reinforces the metro and publishes special services; check its notices for your date.
Leaving after the last act
The metro is the simplest way back, but the station fills up when the main stage finishes. Walking a few stops along the seafront or Diagonal before boarding can be quicker than queuing. The metro runs all night on Saturdays and until late on Fridays and the eve of holidays, according to TMB; on other nights it closes earlier, so check before you count on it.
Streets around the site are closed or congested at the end of big events. If a car is collecting you, agree a meeting point a short walk away from the exits, not at the gate.
Planning your stay
For a festival weekend, a hotel near L4 or on the Diagonal Mar side saves the longest night journeys; see where to stay by transport. Festival-goers often arrive with luggage on Friday and leave on Monday: QuickPickups, which publishes this guide, sells private transfers from the airport to your hotel at a fixed price agreed when you book; its booking box is marked on this page.

Booking a private transfer: the usual questions
- Is the price really fixed?
- Yes. You see the full price for the vehicle before you pay, and it does not change with traffic, the route or the time of day.
- What if my flight is late?
- Your flight number is tracked in real time and the pick-up time is adjusted. At the airport you get 60 minutes of free waiting after landing; at the cruise port, 30 minutes.
- How will I find the driver?
- At the airport the driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign. Your confirmation email has the contact details.
- Can I get child seats?
- Yes, on request when you book, for a small supplement shown before you pay. Tell us the age or weight of each child.
- Can I get an invoice?
- Yes. QUICKPICKUPS S.L. can issue an invoice for your booking, including one made out to your company.
- What if my plans change?
- Cancellations made more than 24 hours in advance are free. You can manage the booking from your confirmation email or by writing to info@quickpickups.es.
