Campus transport: Sant Cugat (FGC S1/S2/S6/S7). Allow for the 17-minute final connection from the station to campus.
- Sant Cugat
~18 min to campus · Room ~€600/month

Pedralbes
In Barcelona city. Start with Pedralbes and nearby neighbourhoods, then compare the journey with your budget.

- Pedralbes

Shortest modelled public transport journey

Lower rent, a little further from campus
Commutes are modelled from neighbourhood centres; room rents are estimates for one person in a shared flat. Check the journey from the actual flat before choosing a home.
Sources and how we choose
We show the shortest modelled public transport journey and, where different, the lowest room rent within 10 minutes of that journey. These are starting points, not personalised matches. Times do not include live timetables or disruptions.
Rent period: 2026-Q1. Whole-flat rent and average surface: INCASÒL fiança registry, 2026-Q1, published quarterly as "Lloguers Barcelona per districtes i barris" on habitatge.gencat.cat and re-keyed per barri. Room prices are triangulated from district medians, platform snapshots and press (no public series exists below district level), and are indicative, not measured. Whole-flat rent: the municipal figure from the INCASÒL fiança registry via habitatge.gencat.cat and the Dades Obertes Catalunya municipal series, 2026-Q1. There is no barri-level row outside Barcelona, so no €/m² or average surface is published and none is estimated here. Room prices are triangulated from operator and platform listings, and are indicative, not measured.
