About Barcelona Nord Bus Station

Barcelona Nord has an extensive history that stretches back to 1862, and the station was given many purposes over the years. For the first 110 years, Barcelona Nord was Barcelona’s primary railway station. The city changed its railway routes, and Barcelona Nord went unused for over a decade. 

The 1992 Summer Olympics led to a revival of the station, and the facility became a venue for that year’s table tennis competition. City officials added a police station, and the station’s architecture received a much-needed facelift. 

Today, Barcelona Nord provides consistent service throughout Catalonia and other regions of Spain. The station gives passengers a comfortable journey with shops, restaurants, cafés, ATMs, free WIFI, power stations, and several waiting areas. 

Passengers have easy access to the Barcelona Metro and regional rail system that serves the community. Calle de Alí Bei connects passengers to the bus station, and lifts are available to help those with physical limitations.

Attractions and Activities near Barcelona Nord Bus Station

• La Sagrada Familia: Roughly a 15-minute walk from Barcelona Nord, La Sagrada Familia is Antoni Gaudí’s signature masterpiece and one of the world’s greatest churches ever built. For more than 130 years, tireless architects have laid the foundation for this beloved temple that stands out as Barcelona’s star attraction.
  It’s worth pointing out that the UNESCO World Heritage Site still hasn’t even been completed yet. The finishing touches on La Sagrada Familia should be complete sometime this decade. Gaudí took control of the project in 1883, and the talented architect dedicated the remainder of his life to building the basilica. Gaudí utilized Gothic and Art Nouveau styles when designing the structure, and advancements in technology have helped speed up the project’s final phases.
  One of the primary challenges that architects face is the addition of several spires that symbolize iconic figures from the New Testament of the Bible. In total, La Sagrada Familia will contain 18 spires, and they are one of the defining features of the building’s exterior. Three elaborate facades represent different elements of Christianity, and the church’s interior dazzles visitors with its central nave, towering columns, and beautiful stained-glass windows.
