Cruise transport, shop addresses and hours, and nearby visitor information checked August 1, 2026. Confirm today's shop hours before leaving the terminal.
Download the Port Day Pack ↓Allow about 3.5 hours for El Born; 5 to 6.5 hours with Grà cia. You'll travel by t-3 portbus or taxi, then walking and metro or taxi and keep the final 75 minutes free for the return to your ship.
Check your ship's daily program before you go ashore. Your terminal can change how long it takes to reach the first shop.

Terminal construction and assignments change over time; use the letter in your ship's daily program.
The southern group of cruise terminals on Moll Adossat
shuttle: Allow 40–55 minutes to All You Knit Is Love
The T-3 Portbus links Moll Adossat with the centre; allow extra time for its stops along the pier.

Check your terminal letter before the return trip so the driver or bus leaves you at the correct building.
Check the gangway sign or your ship's app for the terminal letter. If it remains unclear, use the southern Moll Adossat timing and photograph the terminal entrance before boarding the Portbus or taxi.
