Directions

Our Address: Avinguda Diagonal 436, Floor Entresuelo, Apartment 1.

The nearest metro station is just two blocks from the hostel. The name of the stop is "DIAGONAL" and it has connection to two different metro lines: the line 5 (blue) and line 3 (green). The only trick is that the Diagonal metro stop has several exits and the directions given bellow will depend on which exit you take.

Coming from GIRONA AIRPORT and the NORD BUS STATION:
• Take the Barcelona Bus from the airport to Barcelona Nord Bus Station (final destination).
• Once at the Nord bus station you can either take a taxi to the hostel (not too expensive because it's not so far from the hostel) or go with the metro. The metro stop is in the small park just next to the bus station and is named "Arc de Triomf".
• The metro line at the "Arc de Triomf" stop is the line 1 (red). Take the train that goes in the direction "Hospital de Bellvitge" until the stop named "Catalunya"
• When you exit the train at the "Catalunya" stop you will have to transfer to the metro line 3 (green).
• With the metro line 3 (green) you need to take the train in direction "Trinitat Nova" until the stop "Diagonal".
• When you exit the train at the "Diagonal" stop you need to follow the signs that say sortida (exit) "Passeig de Gracia-Pau Claris". This will bring you to one of the exits that come out on the street Passeig de Gracia.
• Once standing on the street Passeig de Gracia you should be able to see a large obelisc standing in the middle of the roundabout at the intersection of the streets Passeig de Gracia and Avinguda Diagonal. It is a huge intersection and a very large obelisk so it should be fairly easy to find.
• Walk up to the intersection of Passeig de Gracia and Avinguda Diagonal and go to your right on Avinguda Diagonal. You need to cross to the opposite side of the street!
• Walk for one block and look for number 436.

Coming from EL PRAT AIRPORT (BCN Airport):
• Take the Aerobus from the airport to Plaza Catalunya. Once in Plaza Catalunya take the metro line 3 (green) in the direction of "Trinitat Nova" until the stop "Diagonal".
• When you exit the train at the "Diagonal" stop you need to follow the signs that say sortida (exit) "Passeig de Gracia-Pau Claris". This will bring you to one of the exits that come out on the street Passeig de Gracia.

• Take the metro line 5 (blue) in the direction of "Vall d'Hebron" to the stop "Diagonal".
• When you exit the train at the "Diagonal" stop you will need to follow the signs as if you were transferring to the line 3 (green). You are not actually going to change metro lines. This is only to help you to find the correct exit so that you come out of the metro onto the street Passeig de Gracia.
• You will go through a long corridor with automatic walkways. As you come to the end of the corridor (where the automatic walkways end) take the exit immediately to your right.
