• Bus (line 150)35 min·1,50 € 28 August 2026

  every 15 min (en source, 2017) / every 20 min from 6:00-22:00 (fr source, 2016)

  The Wikivoyage FR source (2016) indicates a bus at 2.5 € every 20 min from 6:00-22:00; the Wikivoyage EN source (2017) indicates bus 150 (Fernanbus) at 1.50 €, every 15 min, terminus Àngel Guimerá 48, journey 30-40 min.

• Metro (lines 3 and 5)simplest21 min·3,90 € 28 August 2026

  every 8 min; no service between midnight and 5:30

  Price according to Wikivoyage EN: 3.90 € + 1 € for the rechargeable cardboard ticket. Wikivoyage FR (2016) gave 1.7 € for a one-way zone AB ticket. Both sources are kept separately given the price gap, likely linked to the different dates.

• Taxi15 € 28 August 2026

  Wikivoyage FR (2016): about 15 €. Wikivoyage EN (2017): 20-23 € to Carrer de la Pau (~11 km), plus an airport surcharge of about 5 € (Jan. 2015). The return trip to the airport would cost half.

Why that one: Direct and frequent connection to the city centre and the main train station, with no risk of traffic jams, at a moderate cost.

Card payments

Bank cards are widely accepted; an ID may be requested when paying by card (Wikivoyage Spain). 500 € banknotes are refused in many shops.

Tipping

Tipping ("propina") is neither obligatory nor customary in Spain. If the service was good, leave some change on the table, about 1-2 €, or 5-8% of the bill in restaurants; it is not a problem if you do not do so. In bars, it is mainly tourists (notably Americans) who leave a tip.

Tap water

Tap water is safe and drinkable in Spain. In some southern regions, it may have a high mineral content and cause stomach upset for those not used to it; bottled water remains widely available.

Emergencies

• Taxis to/from the airport

  Do not agree to a fixed price with the driver: in most cases, this costs more than the metered fare. The airport-city centre trip (Carrer de la Pau) costs about 20-23 €, plus an airport surcharge of about 5 €; the return trip costs about half as much (Wikivoyage EN source).

• Check the bill

  In bars and restaurants, check the bill carefully before paying: some establishments charge for items not consumed or overcharge, in both touristy and non-touristy areas (Wikivoyage Spain source).

• Neighbourhoods to avoid at night

  Ciutat Jardí, El Cabanyal and Aiora (east of the city) are mentioned as neighbourhoods that may warrant extra caution: they are fairly deserted at night and assaults are possible there, although rare (Wikivoyage EN source).

• Pickpockets during the Falles

  The Falles festival attracts thousands of people every year; stay alert for pickpockets during this event (Wikivoyage EN source).

• El Rastro flea market

  This large Sunday flea market has a police presence, but watch out for pickpockets (Wikivoyage EN source).
