How long it takes to travel by Metro from Mundet st. to Besos Mar st. in Barselona?

Question

Hi, I'm a student planning to go to Barselona to the Conference in April 2007. I'm planning to stay at students residence near Metro station MUNDET. How long it takes to travel by Metro from MUNDET station to BESOS MAR station (the place of the conference). Thank you!

Answer 1

It takes around 40 minutes all together. You'll need to change lines on Passeig de Gracia, from L3 to L4. The connection between those is long as L3 along with Renfe (spanish train system) are on the north of the street while L4 along with L2 are on the south, you'll have to walk a little bit (everything it's well signposted and it's usually a very crowded station). Then it depends how long it takes for the metro to arrive, but it takes up to 3 minutes at rush hours and up to 5 at early mornings, late night and weekends. L3 is far better than L4 in terms of trains and frequencies, you'll notice the difference.

Metro opens at 5am everyday and closes at midnight from Monday to Thursdays and Sundays while on Fridays and Saturdays it closes at 2am.
