If you visit during the warmer months and are limited on time, get skip-the-line tickets or you will spend most of your time waiting in line. You have to make your way to the meeting point at Passatge de la Concepció 8, but the tour ends right back at the Cruise Bus stop, close to the Colombus Monument.
By taxi, the ride from the airport to any of the cruise terminals takes about a half-hour. You can reach the Barcelona cruise terminal by metro and bus if you’re coming from the airport. To get there, take Line 9 and transfer to Line 3 at Zona Universitaria station. The closest metro stop to the port is Drassanes, which sits at the foot of La Rambla.
In October 2013 was announced a plan for the expansion of Terminal D and the building of a new Terminal E serving ships with capacity 4500+ passengers. APM Terminals (global container terminal operator) operates under the concession port's container terminal. Also in 2019 APM increased terminal's reefer (refrigerated TEU-container) capacity by 31% (to a total of 632 reefer connections) and launched online real-time TEU tracking (on its website). Instead of a taxi, it is advisable to use the circular route bus Cruisebus (aka T3 port-bus) between all Port Terminals and Plaça Colon close by the famous Ramblas, on the latge square by the World Trade Center.
Another popular attraction in the Gothic Quarter is the Plaça del Rei, a beautiful square that was once the site of the royal palace of the Catalan kings. Going for a stroll through the Gothic Quarter is one of the best things to do in Barcelona at night. One of the most famous landmarks is the Barcelona Cathedral, a stunning Gothic cathedral that dates back to the 13th century.
There is no fixed timetable for the Blue Bus however the cruise terminal operators co-ordinate the running of the bus with the arrival and departures of the cruise ships. Palacruceros is a latest generation cruise terminal designed by Studio Vicini (Arch. Luigi Vicini and Andrea Piazza). Opened since 24 April 2007, it has been the centre of operations for many of the major cruise shipping companies in the sector. When passengers enter the terminal they are greeted by a two-level structure intuitively organized to enable a logical flow of in-bound and out-bound guests.
