Arriving at the conference venue
Palau de Les Heures, Campus Mundet, University of Barcelona

From Plaça de Catalunya and environs you can take the Metro to 'MUNDET' (Green Line L3, in the direction of Canyelles). When you exit the metro barrier, turn right towards exit 'muntanya'. Walk up the hill to the roundabout, where you will find the stop for the internal campus bus (a blue single-decker bus). Get off the bus at the last stop at the top of the hill (another roundabout) and turn left and follow the signs to Palau de les Heures (2 minutes). (We will place signs mentioning RAVE09 to indicate where exactly to get the bus and where to get off) It is also possible to walk up the hill from the metro Mundet to the Palau de les Heures and the Llevant building (5-8 minutes).

The campus is also served by bus lines N4, B19, 27, 60, 73, 76, 85 and 173.

Transport from Barcelona airport to the City Centre
Barcelona Airport is only 25 minutes from the centre of Barcelona. The easiest way to get to Plaça de Catalunya is with the A1 Aerobus, which runs from outside the terminal direct to Plaça de Catalunya every 12-15 minutes from 7am until midnight. The train also runs direct to Plaça de Catalunya in 20 minutes, every 30 minutes. If taking a taxi, there are taxis available at all terminals and the fare is around € 25-30 Eur to Plaça de Catalunya.

Transport within Barcelona City:
See: http://www.tmb.net/eng/home.htm
A good option is to buy a T-10 ticket which gives you 10 trips on the metro, bus, FCG or train in the city. Once validated, it may be used for 1 hour and 15 minutes. You can use a T-10 for more than one person - just pass it through the metro gate or the validating machine on the bus as many times as there are passengers. The metro runs until midnight on weekdays and until 02:00 am on Friday and Saturday. A two zone T10 ticket is also valid for the airport train services.
