How to arrive at Sitges:

From BCN airport (TERMINAL 1), there is a direct bus. Here you have the link for the bus schedules: https://www.busgarraf.cat/en/horaris/ . You should choose a line including both “Sitges” and “aeroport” in the pathway. E.g., Vilanova-Les Roquetes-Sitges-Aeroport de Barcelona-El Prat de Llobregat-Hospitalet de Llobregat

Please, note:

Origin stop: El Prat de Llobregat / Terminal

Final stop: Sitges / Passeig Vilanova

If you arrive at Terminal 2, you can either take a bus shuttle to go to Terminal 1 and take the bus or, alternatively, take the train as explained below.

From Barcelona Sants train station or from BCN airport (TERMINAL 2): Here you have the link for the train schedules:http://rodalies.gencat.cat/web/.content/02_Horaris/horaris/R2.pdf. The train company is RENFE, category of rodalies/cercanías, and the line R2. Do not take neither the metro nor FGC. They will not lead you to Sitges!

COVID situation: Now, the COVID is relatively under control, and the rule of thumbs is that wearing mask in outdoor and indoor sites is not mandatory. However, it is mandatory in public transports, and this means that you are obligated to wear mask in the train and the bus. For the rest of places, wearing masks is voluntary.
