The Salón Náutico de Barcelona, the city’s international boat show, is a fixture of the Mediterranean nautical calendar. Its next edition runs from 30 October to 1 November 2026 at the Fira Montjuïc venue — and that location, rather than the big Gran Via halls, is the detail worth knowing before you arrive.
Montjuïc, not Gran Via
The Montjuïc fairground sits around Plaça Espanya, roughly 13 to 15 km and about 20 minutes from Barcelona-El Prat Airport. It is a different site from the Gran Via venue that hosts MWC and the other headline congresses, so if your event is the boat show, that is where you are heading. On public transport it means the L1 or L3 metro and a walk up through the fairground gates — manageable, but not ideal with luggage.
Why book a transfer
A pre-booked transfer takes you from the terminal straight to the Montjuïc entrance or your hotel for a fare fixed before you fly. It skips the metro change and the uphill walk, and if you are flying in the same day we track your flight so a delay does not cost you the visit. Autumn is a busy congress season in Barcelona, so booking your airport pickup ahead is worth it.
