Granollers, Barberà del Vallès, Cerdanyola del Vallès, Barcelona,
Sant Cugat del Vallès, Rubí, Sentmenat and Molins de Rei.
A railroad line crosses the city (the RENFE line from Barcelona to
Lleida) and another one finishes in the city (the FGC line from
Barcelona to Sabadell by Sant Cugat del Vallès). Sabadell has an
airport.
