The Rovira i Virgili University is situated in Tarragona, and is located in the south of Catalonia (one of the seventeen autonomous regions within the Spanish state), in the northeastern corner of the Iberian Peninsula.

Well-connected to Europe and the rest of the peninsula, it offers easy access to two airports: one in Reus, just 5 kilometers away, and the other in Barcelona, just 95 kilometers away.

Tarragona is linked to the rest of Catalonia, Spain and to Europe by three major motorways: The C-32 Motorway between Barcelona to El Vendrell, the Mediterranean Motorway (AP-7), which runs from the French border at La Jonquera to Alicante province and the south of Spain, and the North Motorway (AP-2) that links the Basque Country with Barcelona and the North of Catalonia.
