Barcelona is in the middle of a major transformation, with new bike lanes, pedestrianised areas and road works. It will make the city more sustainable in the long run. During 4YFN week, though, expect detours, delays and congestion on the roads. 

The fastest and most reliable way to reach Fira Gran Via is public transport, and it's on us. Every MWC / 4YFN attendee receives a free transport pass with unlimited travel on buses, the Metro and local FGC trains (Zone 1), including a trip to or from the airport.

Collect it as soon as you arrive 

• Airport (T1, T2B, T2C): collect it before you leave baggage reclaim, because you can't re-enter once you've exited. 
• Fira Gran Via: at the MWC or 4YFN entrances. 
• Pl. Espanya FGC Station: at the L1 connection tunnel and lobby. 
• Have your Digital Access Pass ready in the MWC Series App. 

If you still choose to travel by car, be sure to allow plenty of extra time for your journey to avoid disruptions.
