Reimbursement policy

We are able to reimburse for the following expenses:

  • transportation between BCN airport and hotel in Barcelona,
  • visa fees

Please keep your receipts and deliver them to Jeff during the hackathon. We'll be able to reimburse in either local currency (EUR) or via PayPal.

Any additional expenses once in Barcelona are yours to cover (e.g., hotel room service, hotel laundry service, souvenirs, transportation around the city, etc.).

Alcohol policy

Any alcoholic beverages you order while out will be at your own expense. Additionally, we often have minors attending these workshops. Please be respectful of their presence and drink responsibly.

Getting around in Barcelona

Here you'll find a spreadsheet with everyone's arrival times. You'll have to request access to see it. You'll notice that some people are grouped into colors, those are to help you to coordinate with one another to travel from the airport to the hotel together.

BCN airport to Hotel Ronda Lesseps

The most comfortable and cheap way to trip from the Airport to Barcelona is taking the Aerobús to Plaça Espanya instead Metro or Train. If you buy one way Aerobus ticket, the price is 5,90 but, if you buy the round trip, the final price is 10,90€ instead of 11,80€. You can buy it here: http://www.aerobusbcn.com/en/buy-tickets

After your purchase, you'll get an individual QR code that you can send to any Mozillian. No matter if the Mozillians use the T1 and/or T2 Airport to arrive/depart from/to Bcn; the ticket is valid for both Terminals. You have more info here: http://www.aerobusbcn.com/en/faq

The next step is to take Metro L3 from Plaça Espanya to Hotel Ronda Lesseps. The best option is to get a single ticket (called «Bitllet senzill») from Plaça Espanya to Lesseps (dir. «Trinitat Nova»). The price of this ticket is 2,15€ (more info: https://www.tmb.cat/en/barcelona/fares-metro-bus/tickets-single/single-ticket). At Lesseps station, take the exit to Gran de Gràcia street, walk ±10 minutes and you're in the Hotel. See the Bcn Metro Map for more info.

From the Hotel to the Betahaus

Just walking for ±10 minutes you're in the Venue; no mystery at all ;)

From Betahaus to the Restaurants (Friday, Saturday and Sunday)

Maybe the best option is to purchase some T-10 cards for Metro transportation. The price of each card is 9,95€ and you have 10 multi-person trips. Here you have the info: https://www.tmb.cat/en/barcelona/fares-metro-bus/travel-cards/t-10

We can also use the T-10 card to get to Sagrada Familia or any other cultural activity/place (city center is in the same zone, so 1 zone tickets are enough).

Hotel to BCN airport

First, take the Metro L3 from the Hotel to Plaça Espanya. Again, the «Bitllet senzill» single ticket from Lesseps to Plaça Espanya (dir. «Zona Universitària», exit «Creu Coberta») is your friend; ±20 min (9th stop) and you're in. From Plaça Espanya, take the Aerobús to the Airport. If you have the round trip ticket, use it. If not, you need to spend 5,90€. In approximately 35 minutes you will be at the Airport.

In case of emergency

Finally, Barcelona is a safe place but, if you are in any trouble, please call 112. Is the free emergency phone and service is in Catalan, English, French, German and Spanish.
