Located approximately 10km from Tarragona, one of the most well-known cities in Catalunya, Reus Airport is the third largest airport in Catalunya, which makes it an ideal destination if you’re going to Tarragona or to any of the towns on the Costa Daurada, which are especially popular in summer. Many tourists visiting Barcelona also use this airport.

Reus Airport is around 110km from Barcelona city centre, a distance that doesn’t take long to drive on the motorway (1 hour 15 minutes by car, or 1 hour 30 minutes by bus). This, along with the fact that flight prices are often lower in comparison to those to Barcelona’s own El Prat Airport, makes flying into Reus and travelling to Barcelona from there, a good alternative option for tourists, once they have done their calculations.
