ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Most EU citizens only need their national identity card or passport to enter Spain. Non-EU citizens require a valid passport to enter Spain, but many countries are exempt from tourist visas. It is essential that you check with the Spanish embassy or consulate in your country before travelling. Without exception, passports must be valid for at least six months after your planned date of departure from Spain.

prIME Oncology will not directly contact embassies and consulates on behalf of applicants. It is the sole responsibility of the delegates to look after their visa requirements.

Note: Passport and visa requirements are liable to change at short notice. Travelers are advised to check their entry requirements with their embassy or consulate.

GETTING THERE
From Barcelona’s main International airport ‘El Prat’ you can travel different ways to the Congress venue:

TAXI: Barcelona has 11,500 taxis easily identified by their yellow and black color. It takes 15/20 minutes, depending on traffic.

AEROBUS: This special service is clearly signposted at the stops outside the terminal and it takes you to different parts of the city. The Plaza de España stop is the closest to the hotel, approximately a 5-minute walk from the stop to the hotel.

TRAIN: The station is located to the West of the terminal. Trains go to “Sants” Station. From here you can take either the Metro—2 stops to Plaza de España and then a 10/15-minute walk—or a taxi.

CAR: Take the Castelldefels Motorway (C-31) toward Barcelona up to Plaza de España. Turn right into Avenida Maria Cristina and drive up until you see the National Palace. Turn left into Avenida Rius i Taulet and carry on straight until Lleida Street. The hotel is right on the corner.

LOCAL TRANSPORT
Barcelona has a very good public transport system (TMB), with special ten-trip and one-day, two-day, and three-day tickets available for bus, metro, and local trains. You can call a taxi or flag them down in the streets. In many taxis you can also pay by credit card.

CLIMATE
Barcelona has a Mediterranean climate with mild, sunny winters, warm summers, and relatively low rainfall. In January the average temperatures are at 13° Celsius (55.4° Fahrenheit).

TIME ZONE
Barcelona is in the Central European time zone (GMT +1).

LANGUAGE
Spanish and Catalan are the two main languages spoken in Barcelona. English is also widely spoken and to some extent French and German.

CURRENCY
