Transportation to MWC Barcelona 2027
Plan ahead for your journey
We recommend using public transport whenever possible, allowing extra time for your journey and checking the latest travel information before you set off. Please follow event signage and on-site directions when arriving and leaving the venue.
We strongly recommend using Barcelona’s fast and efficient public transport system as the quickest and most convenient way to travel between the city and the venue. To make it even easier, all MWC / 4YFN attendees receive a free transport pass, granting unlimited travel on buses, the Metro, and local FGC trains (Zone 1), including a trip to or from the airport.
Barcelona is undergoing a major transport development program to create a more sustainable and efficient city. While this will bring long-term benefits, in the short term that means there is a significant impact in terms of delays, detours and congestion on the roads, making public transport the best choice.
If you still choose to travel by car, be sure to allow plenty of extra time for your journey to avoid disruptions.
Take advantage of your free transport pass and move around the city seamlessly—while also contributing to a greener future.
