Tips to attend the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona

Schedule:

The Mobile World Congress is officially held from February 25 to 28, although many companies take advantage of the previous weekend to hold events and meetings.

The opening hours of the fair are from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. each day except the last day, February 28, which closes at 16:00.

 

How to get to the MWC:

The MWC will have two locations, the Gran Via exhibition center and the Montjuïc fairgrounds.

Montjuïc: Montjuïc is the oldest exhibition center, and can be easily accessed from the hotel. Just take the L3 (the green line), whose stop is just in front of the hotel, and get off at “Espanya”.

Gran Via: Gran Via is currently the main venue of Fira de Barcelona, ​​and is a bit further away than Montjuïc, but thanks to the new L10 metro line inaugurated at the end of 2018, access to this venue is much easier.

From the hotel we recommend taking the L5 of the metro in Diagonal, stop that is in front of the hotel, until Collblanc. There you have to change and take the new metro line L10 (light blue) to the “Foc” stop. From there it is only 6 minutes on foot to the MWC fairgrounds.

 

Some safety tips:

Although Barcelona is a safe city, as in any big city, it is advisable to follow some small and simple safety tips:

  •     Do not show large amounts of money in public.
