Barcelona Airport Taxi Price: the numbers that matter
For a standard metered taxi from Barcelona Airport, these are the key 2026 metropolitan tariff figures to know before you travel.
The initial meter amount under both metropolitan T-1 and T-2 tariffs.
T-1 applies on working weekdays from 08:00 to 20:00.
T-2 applies on weekday nights, Saturdays and public holidays.
Applied when Barcelona Airport is the origin or destination of the taxi service.
How much is a taxi from Barcelona Airport to the city?
There is no single universal meter price for every Barcelona Airport to city taxi. Your destination matters: a ride to Plaça d’Espanya, the Gothic Quarter, Eixample, Sagrada Família or another part of Barcelona will cover a different distance and may encounter different traffic conditions.
Barcelona city centre is roughly 14 km from the airport. Using that distance only as a simple illustration, a weekday daytime calculation of €2.80 + 14 km × €1.35 + the €4.60 airport supplement comes to about €26.30 before any waiting or traffic-related meter time.
With the T-2 rate of €1.66 per kilometre, the same simplified 14 km example comes to about €30.64 before waiting time. These examples are not fixed quotes; the taximeter determines the actual metered fare.

5–8 passengers
An additional €4.60 supplement can apply to vehicles occupied by five to eight passengers.

Metered taxi fare or a price agreed before pickup?
If you take a standard official taxi from the airport rank, the taximeter and applicable official supplements determine the final amount.
If you arrange an airport ride in advance, ask what price applies before confirming and whether the quoted amount includes the vehicle, airport pickup and any other requested services.
This distinction matters when searching for how much a taxi from Barcelona Airport costs: an estimated metered fare and a confirmed pre-arranged price are not necessarily the same type of price.
