Getting to Les Corts from airport & centre
Last updated:
To get to Les Corts from Barcelona Airport or the city centre, use the route that matches your actual starting point and check it on the day you travel. La Casa de Canja is at Carrer de Gelabert 32 in Les Corts. The nearest metro is Les Corts (L3), about a five-minute walk from the house.
From Barcelona Airport to Les Corts
- Recommended route: Aerobús to Plaça Espanya, then Metro L3 to Les Corts (or a taxi, about 25 minutes)
- Estimated time to Carrer de Gelabert 32: about 50 minutes
From Barcelona Sants
- Recommended route from Barcelona Sants: Metro L3 from Sants Estació to Les Corts
- Estimated time: about 50 minutes
Sants is a useful reference point because it connects airport and intercity travellers with the wider Les Corts area.
From Plaça de Catalunya / central Barcelona
- Recommended route from Plaça de Catalunya: Metro L3 from Plaça de Catalunya to Les Corts
- Estimated time: about 15 minutes
This is the best single "centre" reference point for a visitor-facing guide because it is recognisable and transport-rich.
From the Gothic Quarter or El Born
- Route: Metro L3 from Liceu or Drassanes to Les Corts
- Estimated time: about 25 minutes
From Zona Universitària
If you are already in the university zone, use the campus-specific page rather than this airport/centre guide. The route is Aerobús to Plaça Espanya, then Metro L3 to Les Corts (or a taxi, about 25 minutes) and about 50 minutes.
Check before you travel
- Opening hours (09:00–02:00) for the day of your visit
- Your current membership confirmation
- Your requested identification
- The current membership fee (€20)
- Live public-transport status
- The final walking route to Carrer de Gelabert 32
If you are coming directly from the airport with luggage, confirm whether that creates any practical issue before you leave the terminal rather than assuming storage is available.
First visit after the journey
Once you arrive, reception handles the membership process and the house becomes the easy part. If you want to know what happens after the door, read the first-visit guide. If you have not requested membership yet, do that before planning transport.
How to joinFind La Casa de Canja
Address: Carrer de Gelabert 32, Les Corts, Barcelona. Current route: Metro L3 (Les Corts). Opening hours: every day 09:00–02:00. For any uncertainty, use the contact page before travelling.
Airport terminal planning
Before leaving the airport, check the opening hours (09:00–02:00 daily) and make sure you already have the membership information you need. If you are carrying large luggage, ask the house whether that creates a practical issue.
Late-day visits
If you are travelling later in the day, opening hours matter more than shaving a few minutes from the route. Confirm the day's opening hours and event information before leaving the centre or airport. If the timing is tight, contact the house rather than relying on a third-party "open now" badge.
Coming from the university area instead
Students should not use this broad visitor route if they are already near Zona Universitària, Campus Sud, UPC or ESADE. The university page is designed to provide the more relevant Metro L3 from Plaça de Catalunya to Les Corts and about 20 minutes from those campus clusters.

- Current membership fee (€20) confirmed
- Opening hours (09:00–02:00) checked

If public transport changes on the day
Use live transport information before leaving. A route guide is a planning tool, not a guarantee that every train, bus or road is operating normally. If the recommended Metro L3 (Les Corts) option is disrupted, choose the best current alternative and keep the destination fixed at Carrer de Gelabert 32.
