Travel
Very important: Barcelona is a very safe city, save for pick-pockets. Once you leave your plane/train, make sure your wallet/passport/laptop is secured! Ideally important things will be under two zippers or better. Never walk with a wallet in your back pocket, unless it is secured!
Getting around: In any metro station you can buy tickets which are valid on the bus system, metro, and commuter trains within the Barcelona city limits. Buy a T-10 ticket, which will give you 10 trips for about 10€. Ignore any message about not being able to use the tickets to go to the airport. Insert the ticket in a reader at a metro turnstile or when entering a bus. You get 1h15 free transfer between different methods of transport.
Arriving by train
If you arrive at Barcelona Sants, you can take the Rodalies train to Plaça Catalunya. This is easiest and fastest.
Arriving by plane
If you arrive into the BCN airport, follow the signs to the buses and look for the light blue Aerobus. 5.90€ one way or 10.20€ round-trip this is the fastest and easiest way to get to Plaça Catalunya. The bus has free (slow) WiFi and a place to charge your phone! If you'd like Ruaok or someone else to pick you up from Plaça Catalunya, notify him when the bus starts leaving the airport.
To make things easier, purchase and print your tickets ahead of time.
