Barcelona has always been and is a city of national and international trade fairs, congresses and conventions. Barcelona figures in the first positions of the ranking of important cities of Europe and is well equipped for the organization of trade fairs and congresses. Barcelona counts on 2 different exhibition centres: the historical centre of Montjuic - that includes the Palace of Congresses -, and the new centre of Gran Via M2 (about 2.5 km away from Montjuic, direction to the airport), that also counts on a Convention center. To get to the two centres by public transport from the airport, the port or the central train station is easy. From the main airport of Barcelona (El Prat) the airport bus (Aereobus) will take you to the Plaça Espanya (first busstop) and you are at the Montjuïc trade centre. Arriving by train to Barcelona, the main train station Sants is connected by metro, the red line L1, with the trade fair centre Montjuïc, exit Plaça Espanya. When a trade fair takes place in the 2 exhibition centres, the fair organization charters special buses gratis to connect them.
