La Rambla & the Columbus monument
The city's famous tree-lined promenade, which starts right where the Cruise Bus drops you. Keep an eye on bags in the crowds.
Used by MSC Cruises ships. The map point is the nearest mapped Adossat terminal (E); the MSC building is a little further along the quay.
The port lists a shuttle bus and taxi rank here. It is about 4 km from the centre, so allow 15–20 minutes each way plus queuing; check on board which shuttle serves your ship.
Modern level terminal opened in 2025; kerbside shuttle and taxis.
