Station Barcelona Sants — Gids 2026

🚉 Over Barcelona Sants

Barcelona Sants is het belangrijkste langeafstands- en hogesnelheidsstation van de stad voor Renfe AVE, Avlo, Euromed en veel Rodalies. Hogesnelheidstreinen naar Madrid, Valencia en Frankrijk gebruiken meestal Sants — not Estació de França.

The station is partly underground. Follow AVE / Larga Distancia signs to the correct concourse and allow time for security checks on some high-speed departures.
