Practical Tips

You could get a T-usual monthly pass instead of individual train tickets

it pays for itself after around 17 trips to Barcelona and works on all public transport within its valid zones, including Barcelona

Try taking the R2 train before 7:30am or after 9:30am for guaranteed seating

peak commuter hours mean standing room only, but off-peak trains are comfortable and punctual

Consider cycling for local transport using Sitges' network of bike paths

these paths connect many residential areas to the center and beach while avoiding traffic, especially during summer

You might want to use the Mon Bus e16 (Express) for airport connections

it's cheaper than taxi or train combinations and runs directly from Sitges to Barcelona El Prat airport
