        "question": "How do I get to El Prat Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Barcelona-El Prat Airport is easily reached from the city center via the Aerobús express shuttle, which runs frequently from Plaça de Catalunya and is the most popular choice for its direct, reliable service. The R2 Nord Rodalies train also connects major stations like Sants and Passeig de Gràcia to Terminal 2, with a free shuttle to Terminal 1. For door-to-door convenience, taxis and ride‑share services are available and take about 25–35 minutes, while driving and parking are possible but less common due to higher cost and traffic.",
