Lleida is strategically located at a major transportation and communication hub, connecting Spain with the rest of Europe and the Mediterranean region. The city is easily accessible from Barcelona by both road and rail. In addition, Lleida is served by the high-speed rail line linking Madrid and Barcelona.

Depending on the airport you choose to arrive in Catalonia the best way to get to Lleida is:

• From Barcelona airport (el Prat) to Sants station (Barcelona) by train. From this railway station you can take another train to Lleida

  • There is also a bus line from el Prat to Lleida (two daily buses-Rapid Aeroport)

• From Reus to Lleida by train and bus (Routes in public transport of Catalonia)

• From Girona to Lleida by train and bus (Routes in public transport of Catalonia)

For those who arrive by car, there are several alternatives. From the French frontier at La jonquera the easiest route is to follow the AP-7 (toll) motorway to Girona and then follow the "Eix Transversal", a new fast road, to Cervera and from there by A-2 (free motorway to Lleida). The alternative is to follow the AP-7 to south Barcelona and then take AP-2 (direction Lleida/Zaragoza). This route is all motorway, but it is all toll.

In Lleida it is easy to move around on foot, because of the layout of the city. However, some campuses are located outside the city centre. To get to these campuses, students can take a bus. Information about lines and timetables is available on Autobusos’ de Lleida webpage:
