How to Get to Hostel Sant Jordi Diagonal
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).
- Coming from METRO STOP “DIAGONAL” using the metro line 3 (green): 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’s main airport): Take the Aerobus from the airport to the last stop ‘Plaza Catalunya’. When you get off the bus at Plaza Catalunya you will be in front of the Corte Ingles building (a very large department store, the size of the entire city block). Facing the Corte Ingles building with your back to the street, go to your left. Just before you come to the corner you will see a stairway leading into the metro station. Once inside the metro station, take the L3 (green) metro line in the direction ‘Trinitat Nova’ until the stop ‘Diagonal’. Now follow the directions given above for “coming from metro stop Diagonal”.
- Coming from SANTS ESTACIO Train Station: Inside of the train station you will need to find the entrance to the metro. It is at the opposite end of the train station from the McDonalds. 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. Once standing on the street Passeig de Gracia you should be able to see a large obelisk 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 a little more than one block and look for number 436.
- Coming from GIRONA AIRPORT: Take the Barcelona Bus from the airport to Barcelona Nord Bus Station (final destination). Once there, follow the direction below for “Coming from Barcelona Nord Bus Station”.
- Coming from BARCELONA 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”. Now follow the directions given above for “coming from metro stop Diagonal”.
Please be very careful about pick-pockets in Barcelona, they are very tricky. Keep your valuables safe (preferably in a money belt) and always have a hand on your bags. Be aware especially at the metro when you are arriving with all your belongings on you, and also at all the main tourist attractions.
