Tickets for public transport in Barcelona: the choice is huge. Choosing the right ticket before you travel will save you time and money.

1) Single Ticket

If you want to use the public transport occasionally.

Single ticket – current price

The current price (2024) for a single ticket is EUR 2.55. You can buy it from ticket machines.

Single tickets for the local transport companies TMB and FGC in Barcelona. These tickets are not valid on the airport metro / railway lines.

Specific regulations of the single ticket in Barcelona:

attention

  • A single ticket does NOT entitle you to use the metro to/from the airport. You need to buy an extra ticket called an “airport ticket”, which costs €5.50 (one way) or €11 (return). Many visitors therefore buy the cheap day ticket “Hola BCN” (see below for details). This ticket includes metro or train service between the city center and the airport. In addition, it offers unlimited travel in all Barcelona’s public transport services for the period of validity (2-5 days).
  • Bus, metro and tram have different single tickets , which may not be valid in the other transport system. The 10-Ticket “T-casual” or the “Hola BCN” travel card will get you around this problem.

Julia Barber

Hello, we travel to Barcelona on the 4/1/17 and our party is 2 adults and a child. Is there a child price or is it just a flat one price for all? We would want the Hola BCN 4

Hello Julia, thank your for your question. Here the official terms of use of tickets :”Children under four are not required to have a ticket. All other passengers must have a valid, suitable and validated ticket.” There is no special HolaBCN! ticket for children older than 4 years.

Brendan Swords

If I buy a 2 day HolaBCN ticket and activate it on 14/11/2017 at 10.00 does the 2 day period stop on 16/11/2017 at 09.59 or does it stop at midnight on 15/11/2017?

Hello Brendan,

a 48h HolaBCN ticket is valid for 48h after first validation. In your case from 14/11/2017 10.00 to 16/11/2017 09.59.

Enjoy your trip.

Cassey

Thinking of purchasing the Hola BCN for 4 days for the F1 in May 2018, but am I correct in thinking that it will actually run out on the 4th day – which for us would be the Sunday at 2pm as we arriving on the prior Thursday around 2pm?

Hello Cassey,

If you buy a 4 day (96 hour card) on Thursday 2pm, it runs out following Monday 1.59pm, not Sunday as you wrote.

Emily

Hi, thinking of purchasing the Hola bcn card for 9 of us for hen do in June. We will arrive on the Friday at approx 12:15, and we fly home on the Monday at approx 13:00, would we need the 3 or 4 day card to cover us for the whole trip? Thanks in advance!

your aircraft lands at 12.15? Due to waiting times, e.g. at the baggage claim, you will not enter the metro at Friday before 13.00. To depart Monday at 13:00, you must check in at the airport before 13:00. The 3 day Hola BCN! is valid for 72h as of the first validation. So from our point of view, the 3 day card is the right card for you.

Alkazri

Very informative! Thanks Hola BCN! We’re flying to Barcelona today. ???????

Linda Sampedey

Hi. Is the N17 buses included in the Hola Barcelona travel card?

The N17 Nitebus is operated by the private bus company Mohn. The Hola Barcelona travel card is NOT valid on this bus.

Have fun in Barcelona

Ken

I understand that a Hola BCN card includes a free roundtrip metro ride between the airport and city center. If I buy a 3-day Hola BCN card on Day 1 and leave Barcelona on Day 5, is my card still valid for a free return ride from city center to the airport?

The period of use for the HolaBCN card begins with the first use and ends in your case 3 days later.

David

Hello, can I use the HolaBCN travel card to Molins de Rei from Barcelona city centre?

Hi David, Molins de Rei is in fare zone 2B. The Hola BCN ticket is not valid here. Have fun in Barcelona

Aj

Hi, I would like to ask if I buy a HolaBCN 48 hours, can I use that from Granollers Centre to Barcelona city centre ? Are all the zones are covered in HolaBCN ?

Hello Aj, Granollers Center is in Zone 3 and is therefore outside the validity of the Hola BCN Travel Card. One-way tickets are probably the best alternative. Have fun in Barcelona

Ana

Hello, can I use the HolaBCN travel card to Montmeló station from Barcelona city centre? I am going to MotoGP and I need to get to Montmelo so I can after that use shuttle bus to the circuit.

Hello Ana, The “Montmeló” station of the Formula 1 circuit is approximately 15-20 km from Barcelona city centre (FGC zone 2D). The Hola BCN ticket is not valid here. Enjoy the race

Dayo

I’ve got two questions. 1/ how can I find out when my Hola BCN Card expires? I can’t really remember when I used the first time. 2/ I know the Hola BCN card is for TMB buses in Barcelona but why TMB app (I use a Journey Planner) shows me AMB bus?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Dayo, 1) Once you have purchased the Hola Barcelona Travel Card, you have 90 days from the day of purchase to validate your card. After that, i.e. after the first validation, the card will expire depending on the number of hours you have on your card. For example, if you validate the 2-day card (48 hours) on Tuesday at 8am, you can travel unlimited until Thursday at 8am.

2)The TMB app shows all buses TMB operating in Barcelona.

Have fun in Barcelona.

Hi, Thank you for reply. 1/ I know about this but the question was “how can I found out what time I first used the Hola Card as I don’t remember. But anyway someone told me it’s on printed on the back of the card 😀 Me silly. 2/ “The TMB app shows all buses operating in Barcelona”. Not true. I used the app and waited for a bus and then I found out from the driver that I couldn’t use his bus because it’s a different company (AMB). Then I realised on the app I can use buses with red numbers.

Ryan

Hi we’re a family of six and will be visiting Barcelona and it seems like the Hola Barcelona card is the best option. Will in need to buy one for each of my kids (ages 3,7,9), or do any of those ages ride public transport for free?

Hello Ryan, Children under four are not required to have a ticket. They travel free. Older children need a standard Hola BCN! card.

Hola Barcelona card information

Barcelona unlimited card, which solution.

The best solution for unlimited travel around Barcelona is to buy a  Hola Barcelona card . Unlike  Barcelona metro tickets , which are limited to a single use, the Hola card gives you unlimited use of all public transport in the Catalan capital. However, you must buy a card valid for at least 48 hours. The other possible passes for this travel card are 72h, 96h or 120h. 

Visiting Barcelona with the Hola card is cheap?

Visiting Barcelona with the Hola card is a very economical solution. With its 48h, 72h, 96h or 120h options, you can visit Barcelona with no limit on the number of journeys or the number of exits and entries on the city's public transport network. It's much cheaper than buying individual  metro tickets  if you want to travel a lot during your stay in the Catalan capital. Bear in mind that, while the city centre is very pleasant on foot, discovering all the city's monuments involves a lot of travelling around a fairly large city. We therefore advise you to opt for the  Hola Barcelona card  if you are a curious visitor.

Which Barcelona travel card?

There are a number of different travel cards available in Barcelona. The best-known and most widely used is the Hola Barcelona card, which allows you to travel on the city's entire public transport network with packages ranging from 48h, 72h, 96h to 120h. This travel card includes all the  Barcelona metro  lines in zone 1, a return ticket on metro line 9S linking  Barcelona airport  to the city centre, the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC, zone 1) urban train lines, day buses and the Barcelona tramway (TRAM).

The second best-known transport card is the  Aerobus , the bus that links the airport to the city centre.

Where can I buy the Hola Barcelona card?

The Hola Barcelona card can be purchased at all Barcelona metro stations. You can also buy the Hola Barcelona card from metro ticket machines. This unlimited travel card is valid for 48, 72, 96 or 120 hours.

You can of course buy it in advance on this same page by clicking on the " Check availability " button.

The Best Tourist Cards for 2024!

How to select the right tourist card, or city pass, for your Barcelona city break! We look at the top 4 cards , which of them include entry to La Sagrada Familia, and which offer the best deals and value for money.

Top 4 Cards: – Barcelona Card | Barcelona Pass | Go City All-Inclusive | Go City Explorer

The original idea of tourist cards, here in Barcelona and other popular travel destinations around the world, was to give their users one handy entry card they can use at all the major attractions around town, saving them a lot of time, money and hassle. Often with free public transport thrown into the bargain.

While the idea is simple, the execution is not always so easy. For example many museums and sights in Barcelona are privately owned (including several of Gaudi’s greatest hits!), and a couple of mega-attractions like Sagrada Familia require pre-booking. Meanwhile the attractions that are publicly owned (most of the museums) have to abide by certain rules and regulations.

The result is that there is not one “catch all” solution to entering all of Barcelona’s attractions for free, but rather several different options that will suit the needs of different travellers to different degrees.

We compare the different tourist cards and city passes on offer… so you can make an informed decision about which option works best for you.

In this article, we compare the different tourist cards and city passes on offer, along with a transparent look at who runs them (as well as the official tourist board, several large travel giants offer their own products!) and how much value you get from each, so you can make an informed decision about which option works best for you.

1. Barcelona Card

By Barcelona Turisme

Barcelona Card: What’s Included? | Prices | Is It Worth It? | Online Reservations

The city’s official pass, run by the tourist board, the Barcelona Card offers free entry – with skip the line privileges – to many of the best museums in the Catalan capital, most notably the superb Picasso Museum , but also the MNAC ( National Museum of Catalan Art ), MACBA , Joan Miro Foundation and most branches of the Barcelona History Museum.

NEW: They also added free entry to the MOCO Museum, worth €20. Given this trove of modern art is right next door to the Picasso Museum, you can now do a double art dip in just a couple of hours.

There’s also free entry to many of the city’s less visited, but worthwhile treasures, such as the Frederic Mares Museum, Caixa Forum , CosmoCaixa ( good for kids !), Design Museum, Egyptian Museum and the serene Botanical Gardens .

The card doubles as a free travel card around the city , which is handy and saves you faffing around at ticket machines for the duration of your stay.

After purchase, you will need to collect the card from the airport or one of the tourist offices / collection points in the centre. Usually it’s better to collect it at the airport, so you can take advantage of the metro transport direct from arrival. However the card is valid from the moment you first use it, so if you’re not planning to visit any museums on your first day you might want to wait to activate it later.

Sadly the Barcelona Card doesn’t include tickets to La Sagrada Familia nor Park Guell, nor any of Gaudi’s other UNESCO-listed works . Although it does at least provide you with discounts for Casa Mila, Casa Batllo, Casa Vicens and Palau Guell, and many many more attractions, shops and entertainment venues.

Overall, I would recommend this option for any museum lovers who plan on using Barcelona’s excellent public metro system during their stay.

Top Tip: If you want museums and public transport plus Gaudi you could buy this card and the Barcelona Pass (or Go City Explorer Pass ).

Free Major Attractions

  • Picasso Museum . Skip the line entry to this Barcelona highlight (worth €12).
  • MNAC . The excellent National Museum of Catalan Art (worth €12).
  • MACBA.  The city’s best modern art museum, in a stunning building (worth €10).
  • Joan Miro Foundation . A look at Catalonia’s most famous artist (worth €12).
  • MUHBA History Museum . Roman ruins, war bunkers and Jewish heritage across 4 different locations (worth 4 x €7).
  • MOCO Museum . Spanking new museum with works by Banksy, Basquiat, Haring and Kaws (worth €19.95).

Other Freebies

Barcelona Card holders receive a free guide and metro map with their purchase.

Free Transport

Includes free public transport (metro, buses, trains and trams) in Barcelona city centre, plus free metro ticket to the airport.

Worthwhile Discounts

Barcelona Card offers billions of discounts . Here’s a sample selection:

  • Casa Mila (€3 off)
  • Casa Batllo (€3 off)
  • Palau Guell (25% off)
  • Casa Vicens (25% off)
  • Poble Espanyol (20% off)
  • Palau de la Musica Catalana (20% off)
  • Sant Pau Recinte Modernisme (20% off)
  • Barcelona Zoo (20% off)
  • The Aquarium (20% off)

Barcelona Card Pricing

Is it worth it.

Is it worth buying the Barcelona Card? The conclusion is yes, provided you plan on visiting at least one museum a day. If you do so, you’d be saving up to €20 per museum entry fee, plus travelling for free around the city using the excellent metro system, which will also now take you all the way to the airport. You’d have to buy your Park Guell and Sagrada Familia tickets separately, however, which is why for first-time visitors to the city I’d recommend checking the Barcelona Pass or the Go City All-Inclusive or Explorer Pass , before making your decision. You may even be able to combine two passes to get everything you want.

2. Barcelona Pass

By Tiqets.com

Barcelona Pass: What’s Included? | Prices | Is It Worth It? | Online Reservations

The travel specialists at Tiqets.com have put together their own Barcelona Pass which answers the core needs of many travellers.

Included in the package are skip-the-line tickets to Barcelona’s two top attractions: La Sagrada Familia and Park Guell .

The pass also includes free transport on the Hop-on, Hop-off Tourist Bus , which you can use to reach both attractions.

Or… you can swap the Tourist Bus out for tickets to Casa Mila instead, Gaudi’s epic mansion on Passeig de Gracia… the one built without using any straight lines!

A nice bonus are the free apps that come with the pass, meaning you have the benefits of a tour guide in your pocket at all times, wherever you are in the city.

Finally, the pass includes a 10% off discount code that you can redeem for virtually every major attraction and activity in the city, from the Camp Nou Museum and the Aquarium, to other Gaudi greats, such as Casa Vicens. You can make up to 5 purchases with the code.

One big advantage of the Barcelona Pass is that the tickets are electronic, so need to collect them, or even print them, you can use them on your mobile. You can then use the discount code you receive to book more activities on the Tiqets.com website .

  • La Sagrada Familia . Gaudi’s unmissable masterpiece (worth €20-35).
  • Park Guell . Gaudi’s iconic park with city views (worth €10-13).
  • Casa Mila (La Pedrera) . Gaudi’s vast curvy mansion (worth €28).

The Barcelona Pass comes with a number of handy free travel apps for the modern traveller.

The Barcelona Pass includes 1 day ticket for the Hop On, Hop Off Tourist Bus, worth €33. Additional days on the bus are available by paying a €9 supplement… just check the options when you’re buying the pass. ( Note: the Tourist Bus is an either / or option with the Casa Mila… you can choose one only!).

Barcelona Pass Pricing

It covers everything most tourists wish to do with just a single ticket – enabling you to plan your visit with just a few clicks of the mouse! Economically speaking, you don’t save loads of money here, as the value of the included products comes to about the same as the price of the pass itself.

3. Go City All-Inclusive Pass

Go City All-Inclusive: What’s Included? | Prices | Is It Worth It? | 5% Discount Code!

A new brand in town, the Go City All-Inclusive pass is rather impressive! You simply choose the number of days you will need the pass for (the more days, the higher the cost), and then you can visit as many sights and museums as you like for FREE within that timeframe.

Amazingly, Go City seemed to have struck a deal with virtually every major tourist attraction in town, and everything you hope to see in Barcelona is included in the price (go back to Comparison Table to see what I mean!). In fact, they’ve actually gone one better for some of the top attractions, as you actually get a guided tour of La Sagrada Familia, Park Guell and Picasso Museum included in the price (which starts at €159 for a 2-day pass, and perhaps hits a sweet spot at €194 for a 3-day pass), not just a ticket.

So far, go great… but is there a snag? Yes, a little one. Some of the best sights (starting with La Sagrada Familia) require booking in advance and are limited by availability, so you need to check that on their website before you go ahead and buy the pass. In general, provided you buying your All-Inclusive pass a week or two ahead of time you should be ok.

Overall there’s a stunning amount of high-end, expensive attractions included in the cost of the pass, and it should be really easy to get value for money – you might even save a small fortune! ( UPDATE: We’ve negotiated a 5% discount on the pass for Barcelona Life readers… keep reading to save even more!).

  • Sagrada Familia Guided Tour . See Gaudi’s masterpiece with a local guide (worth €60).
  • Park Guell Guided Tour . Wander through these landscaped gardens with a licensed guide (worth €32)
  • Picasso Museum Guided Tour . Discover the legacy of Picasso in Barcelona and his early works (worth €33)
  • Camp Nou Museum & Tour . Visit the stadium and museum of the legendary Barça FC (worth €28).
  • Casa Batllo . A truly magical house with a fairytale façade (worth €35).
  • Casa Mila . Gaudi’s most famous mansion, aka La Pedrera (worth €25).
  • Poble Espanyol . Visit the whole of Spain, in one village (worth €14).
  • The Aquarium . Admire 450 aquatic animals including bull sharks (worth €24).
  • Barcelona Zoo . See lions, tigers, hippos, giraffes and gorillas (worth €21.40).

You can check the full list of the 40+ free attractions and experiences on Go City’s website , where you can also buy the pass.

In addition to entrance tickets to almost all the top attractions, the Go City All-Inclusive pass also includes a tonne of tour options, such as a free walking tour with tapas tasting (worth €25), a free bike tour (€30), a segway tour (€29) or even a ticket to an escape room (worth €25).

The Go City All-Inclusive pass includes a day’s use of the Hop On / Hop Off Barcelona Tourist Bus, plus Montjuic Cable Car tickets.

Go City All-Inclusive Pass Pricing

Is the Go City All-Inclusive pass worth it? The short answer is YES . It’s incredible value. The 2-day pass only comes in at less than €80 a day… take the Sagrada Familia guided tour (€60) and you’ve nearly made that back… especially if you arrived by the Tourist Bus (€33). Take the Park Guell tour in the afternoon (€32) and you’ve completed €112 worth of activities for almost half price. Then on your second day you just need to visit two more premium attractions to be saving, and there’s probably time to do 3 or 4 if you plan well.

The picture looks even better on a 3-day pass, which comes in at less than €65 a day. You could do La Sagrada Familia and Park Guell via the Tourist Bus on Day 1 and finish with something fun like a brewery tour or escape room; then visit Casa Mila and Casa Batllo (next to each other), followed by Picasso Museum and MOCO Museum (also next to each other) on Day 2; and then on Day 3 take your pick between Montserrat , Camp Nou Experience, the Aquarium and many more.

4. Go City Explorer Pass

Go City Explorer: What’s Included? | Prices | Is It Worth It? | 5% Discount Code!

The Go City Explorer Pass works completely differently to every other tourist card on this list. Instead of being valid for a number of days, the pass grants you entry to a set number of attractions (between 2 and 7, depending which option you select), and you can handpick these attractions from Go City’s list of partners.

The list includes virtually every major attraction in town, and overall the Explorer Pass is the most flexible option for travellers.

  • Segway Tour . Take a spin through Parc de la Ciutadella (worth €29).
  • Tapas Tour . A walking tour of the Gothic Quarter with snacks (worth €22).

The Go City Explorer pass doesn’t include any free transport, but you can use one of your attraction slots to select the Hop On / Hop Off Barcelona Tourist Bus. (You can also select the Montjuic Cable Car, but that would only make financial sense if you opting for the 6 or 7 attraction pass option).

Go City Explorer Pass Prices

The great thing about the Go City Explorer Pass is you really can’t lose. You simply add up the prices of the attractions you want to visit and then check if the pass works out cheaper!

Generally speaking, if you want to visit a lot of premium attractions (by which I mean those that cost €20 or over) then the Explorer Pass is going to save you a significant amount of money. For example selecting the Sagrada Familia guided tour (€60), the Park Guell guided tour (€32), Casa Batllo (€35), Camp Nou Experience (€28), the Tourist Bus (€33) and the Picasso Museum guided tour (€33) has a total value of €221, while the 6 choice pass only costs €179. That’s a pretty massive saving!

HI Duncan, My husband and I are seniors and we want to visit Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell, Casa Mila, Casa Batilo, Palau Guell, Museu National d’Art de Catalunya and Casa Vicens. We are fine with audio guided tours. Do you think it’s better to get these tickets individually with timed entry? Thank you, Debbie

travel barcelona card

I had a brief look and I didn’t see a senior discount for the Go City passes, but the Barcelona Pass does , so you might want to check if you can save a few euros there (you can benefit from a 10% discount after purchase on the attractions not included in the pass).

Meanwhile, for individual tickets, I can see cheaper senior rates on Get Your Guide for Casa Mila , as well as Casa Batllo , so probably they have senior prices for all the other Gaudi attractions too!

Hi, Duncan,

I have the same question as Mandy. However, Amigo Tours does not get such rave reviews and are said to cancel tours at the last minute. If they were to cancel a tour, could we still go in our timeslot and get entrance to, i.e., the Sagrada Familia, without the tour? Or would we need an actual ticket? Would Amigo have some way to get the tickets to us without doing the tour or would we have received the tickets electronically ahead of time? Thank you.

Hi Suzanne, I would be very surprised if they cancelled a tour, esp. during summer, but definitely if you miss the meeting point, their customer service doesn’t seem to include waiting around or being able to help out.

I doubt that you’d be able to get inside the SF without the tour, if they did cancel (it would rather be a case of getting your money back from Go City), so if you’re worried about that I’d go with a different pass. Maybe one that straight up gives you a ticket, like the Barcelona Pass!

' src=

Hi Duncan, great site!! We will be in Barcelona 1-4 August, family of 5, kids 15,14,and 9. We would like to do the sagrada familia (not guided), nou camp stadium, Picasso museum, park guell (not guided) which passes are best? Will need transport included too. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Anita, sorry for slow reply. Hard to get to the comments section sometimes! Anyhow, you might consider the Barcelona Pass, and using the Tourist Bus to connect Sag Fam, Park Guell (both included in the pass) and Camp Nou. Then use the the 10% discount you get with the Pass to buy your Camp Nou tickets and Picasso Museum tickets.

' src=

Dear Duncan, My family and I will be visiting Barcelona at the beginning of August from the 2nd to the 7th. We were thinking of getting either the All Inclusive or the Explorer however I was checking to ensure that there was availability for the Sagrada Familia. It said there was no online availability and to call – I was wondering in your experience if that meant there is unlikely to be slots? Many thanks Esther

Those two passes are offering guided tours of Sagrada Familia, which have lower availability than standard tickets… it’s possible if demand is high they will add more tours, but a bit frustrating to have to wait and see. Suggest you check The Barcelona Pass instead

Hej Duncan vi skal 4 dage til Barcelona her i juli på ren hyggetur, men vel selvfølgelig gerne lidt rundt. Vi vil gerne på Camp Nou, svævebanen, en sejltur, Wax museum og hop on/off busser. Er det en god ide at købe et pass ? Vi er en lille forsamling med mine forældre på 76år, mig på 47 og min søn 17.

Hi Katja… you might want to check the maths, but for those attractions, I suspect it will work out cheaper for you just to get individual tickets.

Maybe if you buy the 3 attraction Explorer Pass that might work out cheaper for Camp Nou, Tourist Bus and Boat Tour though! (And then pick up the rest as individual tickets…)

' src=

Thanks for the answer, but I’m still worried about something… Almost all entrance fees require prior reservation of a time slot – how do I make a reservation if I already have one of the Passes, since every reservation requires immediate payment?

Sorry, I just saw you comment… which pass did you buy?

Hi Duncan, I am a father with two children (11 and 12 years old), we will visit Barcelona from July 4-11. Of course we want to visit all the main attractions, especially all the Gaudí’s sights and Picasso museum, we also want 2 days of Hop On / Hop Off Barcelona Tourist Bus. Which card do you think would be the most suitable for us? Best regards! Alan

There are quite a few permutations and ways to do this…

I think I would be tempted to go for the Explorer Passes and just book up Sagrada Familia and other expensive attractions using the pass (and then anything that only costs around 10-20 euros just pay on the day). With this strategy you should be guaranteed to save!

Or else you could do 2-3 intense days with the All Inclusive Pass (hitting up all the expensive attractions!) and then do the cheaper stuff on the remaining days when your pass has run out… or reserve some time for chilling on the beach or lazy walks around the Old Town etc!

Hope that works out!

' src=

Hey Duncan, Great site. Thanks for doing this. My husband and I will be in Barcelona from June 3 – 7. We plan on going to Familia Sagrada, Park Guell, Montserrat and the Picasso Museum. We are not interested in tours as we prefer to go on our own at our own pace. We think we will need 4-6 round trips on the metro to get to/from all the sites. Your advice on which pass to get would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Susan

You might be better just buying individual tickets.

Hello Duncan,

Great site! Glad I came upon it 🙂

Two questions for you : 1- I will be staying in Barcelona for a week in July, and was planning on buying this trio : https://www.tiqets.com/en/checkout/billets-pour-barcelona-card-gaudi-bundle-p1014705/booking_details/ . Is there a better option that would include 7 days, not just 5?

2- It seems the Barcelona Card has to be picked up directly at the airport : do you know if it’s easy to find the place?

Thank you so much in advance!

You don’t have to pick up the Barcelona Card at the airport, and unless you plan to take the metro from the airport you could pick up your Cards later in town (there are multiple collection points, which I will share from the official site below).

I would say you would be better off taking the Aerobus or taxi into town , and then collect the card from a tourist office on your first full day in town and only activate it once you head to your first attraction (not once you get on at the airport metro, because then you start the clock going on your Card before you’re really ready to start using it!).

5 days is the maximum Card duration, but if, as I suggest, you activate it on your first full day (not on arrival) I think that will work well for you… that will leave you a full day at the end of your sightseeing to chill out, hit the beach, go shopping or take a day trip .

UPDATE: Also the smart thing to do would probably book your Sagrada Familia and Park Guell tickets, from the Gaudi Bundle, on your first full day, or morning even, and then only activate the Barcelona Card afterwards. That way your Gaudi Bundle and Barcelona Card are not running concurrently (which would reduce the time you have with the Card active at no benefit to yourself).

Here are the Card collection points… the airport terminals are not too large so should be easy find if you do decide to collect your Cards there… you could do and still activate the Cards later.

Collection points: at any Tourist Information Office: Airport, Terminal T1: Barcelona Airport. From Monday to Friday, from 8am to 8:30pm. Saturday and Sunday: from 8:30am to 8:30pm. Airport, Terminal T2: Barcelona Airport. From Monday to Friday, from 8am to 8:30pm. Saturday, from 8:30 to 8pm.Sunday: from 9am to 3pm. Pl. Catalunya: plaça de Catalunya, 17-basement. Daily from 8:30am to 8:30pm. Pl. Catalunya (information booth in front of El Corte Inglés department store. From Monday to Saturday, from 9am to 8pm. Sunday, from 9am to 3pm. Plaça Espanya: plaça Espanya, s/n – Avinguda Maria Cristina. Daily, from 8:30am to 2:30pm. Sagrada Familia tourist information booth: daily, from 8:30am to 8pm. Mirador de Colom (Columbus Monument): plaça Portal de la Pau, s/n. Daily from 8:30am to 2:30pm. From 23/4 to 31/10/24: from Tuesday to Saturday from 8.30am to 7.30pm. Monday and Sunday from 8.30am to 2.30pm. Closed: 11/9, 1/1 and 25/12.

Thanks for your great site. We bought the 2-day Go City All Inclusive pass as it’s our first time in Barcelona. We noticed that there were instructions to pre-reserve Sagrada Familia and Park Guell and we did so. But for Casa Mila and Casa Batllo it says to present the pass at entry. I’m worried that if we don’t pre-reserve it could be full (traveling beginning of June). Do you know if it’s possible to reserve an entry time in advance with the Go City AI Pass?

Hi Joanna, apologies, just seen your comment now. I imagine you will be all right (SF and PG are on another level of busy-ness to other attractions!), but let me write now to Go City and I will try to get some clarity here…

Hi Joanna, I have just heard back from Go City. They said

“On attractions that need reservations we have the booking system which they have used for the other attractions that require. On attractions that say just show your pass unfortuantly it is not possible. We give hints on less busier times ie Casa Batllo: We recommend visiting between 12pm and 3pm or after 6pm to avoid busiest times. During peak times please allow an extra 20 mins to get through the ticket gates.”

It seems they are confident you will be able to get in, otherwise they would no doubt add an obligatory time slot reservation system. I occasionally walk by those two mansions, and I haven’t seen any excessive queues of late. Hopefully that will remain the situation in June.

Hi Duncan. I’m hoping you can advise on best pass that would incorporate as many of the following as possible. In Barcelona from midday on Monday 25/3 to Thursday 28/3 midmorning: Sagrada Familia Park Guell Picasso musuem Casa Batlo Casa Mila MACBA

Many thanks in advance

I think either take the All Inclusive Pass for 2 days (Tues and Weds).

https://www.barcelona-life.com/go-city-all-inclusive-pass

This has the advantage that the Sagrada Familia and Park Guell tickets come with a guided tour. I think the Picasso Museum too.

Or take the Barcelona Pass and select Casa Batllo instead of the Tourist Bus (this is a new option available!), then pick up the 3 cheaper attractions (Casa Mila, MACBA and Picasso) as individual tickets with the 10% discount you get with the Barcelona Pass… I think this works out marginally cheaper than the Go City Pass.

Suzie Vermeulen

Hi Duncan My husband and I are visiting Barcelona from 10 – 16 May. We’ll be staying in Sant Adria de Besos, which means we’ll have to travel to the city centre for most of the attractions. We are planning to see Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Casa Batlo & Cable Car to Montjuic and Picasso museum, using the Hop on Hop off bus. Can you please recommend a suitable city pass? Are all of the tickets bought in advance skip-the-line tickets or just the guided tour ones?

We’ll have to use public transport every day and also when travelling from the airport on 10 May. On 16 May we board a cruise ship. Is it worthwhile buying the Hola Barcelona Pass or you also mention T Casual tickets? Thank you for this very informative guide! Regards Suzie

So you could get the Barcelona Pass and select Casa Batllo (instead of Tourist Bus), then pick up individual tickets for Tourist Bus, Cable Car and Picasso Museum with a 10% discount on Tiqets (which you get with the Barcelona Pass). This should work out around 135 euros I think.

Currently the All Inclusive 2 Day pass is on sale for 130 euros so that might be even better!

Hello I am planning family trip to Barcelona in the begining of June(5days=3full days,because we arrive at 13:00 1st day and leaving on 5th day at 13:00) I am travelling with my husband and my mother in law,(seniora with limited mobility for walking).And i have disabled person’s status. We have plane tickets and place where to live(close to La Sagrada Familia). We know what we want to see( Montserrat,Tibidabo Montjuic,Magic fauntain Montjuic,Park Guell,something similar to la Boqueria,but less crowded.Sagrada Familia,Casa Batllo,Casa Mila,Poble Espanyol,MNAC,Jardi Botanic de Barelona,Parc de Cuitadella,maybe some flamenco. Also to try best Patatas Bravas and sangria,etc.

Hi Ilona, not sure if you had a specific question, but I think either of the Go City Passes should save you some money.

One thing to bear in mind. The Magic Fountain is not working because of the drought conditions. The area is still nice to see, as the MNAC building is very grand with good views.

Good alternatives to Boqueria, with much less people, would be Santa Caterina Market or Sant Antoni Market.

' src=

Hi again Duncan! Thank you for answering my previous question. I have one additional. Is the All-Inclusive pass consecutive days? We are planning a couple day trips in the middle of our Barcelona vacation (to Girona & Tarragona) so I’m worried we’d lose those days if we get the All-Inclusive pass. Thanks!

Hi Lisa, yes the All Inclusive pass is for consecutive days, so you would have to bear that in mind.

The Explorer Pass is valid for 60 days, so you might want to crunch the maths on that one instead!

Hi Duncan, we are travelling to Barcelona next week for 5 days and I was thinking about getting the Go City Explorer Pass and possibly do 5 or 6 main attractions in that week. We hope to walk from one thing to another as we have a city centre apartment. If you have to book Sagrada in advance, how can you show that you have a Go City pass which allows free entry? I’m not clear on how to do that. I’m guessing this doesn’t give an option to skip the queue? Thank you for this brilliant guide!

Hi Mandy, so when you book the Go City passes you should be presented with a link to book a Sagrada Familia Guided Tour. The tour is run by another company (Amigo Tours) and they typically offer slots three times a day. 9am, 1:30pm and 3:30pm. The tour will include your tickets and you won’t have to get queue to get in (you will have to turn up on time though to the meeting point!).

More details here: https://gocity.com/en/barcelona/attractions/sagrada-familia-guided-tour

Hello Duncan! My family is visiting Barcelona from April 1-9, 2024. We are 2 adults/2 children (10 & 12). We are looking to visit La Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Montjuic, Casa Battlo, Casa Mila & Montserrat. We are not renting a car, so some kind of metro pass would be a helpful addition. Thank you!

I would definitely look closely at the All Inclusive City Pass, which is great for jam-packed schedules like yours.

And remember to use your discount code of BARCELONALIFE5

For transport you could take advantage of the Tourist Bus with the All Inclusive (I think just for one day though), or you could invest in Hola Barcelona Transport Cards if you plan on being on the metro a lot. If you are not 100% sure you will get value from the Hola Transport Cards and want to be flexible you could probably just buy each family member a T-Casual card on arrival, that costs about €11-12 and gets you 10 journeys per card.

Happy New Year! We are a group of 3 visiting Barcelona next month. Arriving Feb 5 afternoon, staying in Barcelona until Feb 11 early morning, going to Madrid and then back to Barcelona on Feb 12 late evening as our return tickets have to be departed from Barcelona on Feb 13. We plan to visit La Sagrada Familia, Casa Mila, Casa Batllo, Casa Vicens, Park Guell, Picasso Museum, Montserrat, Tibidabo – Temple Expiatori de Sagrat Cor, etc. It doesn’t seem to have any pass or transport card for 7 days, is there? What’s the best options for fastest transportation/attractions entrance? Thanks!

Happy new year Angela!

I would look into the Go City Explorer Pass… reason being is there’s no time limit (well a 60 day time limit, which is easily enough for your purposes!).

https://www.barcelona-life.com/go-city-explorer-pass

Anything that costs €25 or over put on the pass… anything less just buy as an individual ticket! And don’t forget your discount code. BARCELONALIFE5

Re: transport, see my comment to Lisa above!

Greetings! I’ll be in Barcelona for 3 days on the 16th-20th of December (2 days for travel). I anticipate on visiting La Sagrada Familia, Picasso Musuem, and Dali Theater and Musuem. What would you suggest? Also, do I need to make a reservation prior to my visit?

Cheapest would be just to buy separate tickets, although, if you enjoy guided tours, then you get an Go City Explorer Pass, 2 attraction option, and choose Sag Fam guided tour and Picasso guided tour and you would be making a very nice saving!

https://www.barcelona-life.com/barcelona-card-and-city-passes#go-city-explorer-worth-it

Don’t forget your BARCELONALIFE5 code!

As far as I know Dali Theatre Museum is not included in any pass… i actually just found a cool tour which I mention on my updated December article… check no. 11

https://www.barcelona-life.com/barcelona/december

You can also catch the train easily enough.

I would reserve your Sag Fam tickets / pass asap, the rest you can probably do nearer the time…

Hello Duncan! We’d love to see SF without the guide and Park Guell and Casa Batillo. We are also planning to use the metro. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Ok, so you might want to consider the Barcelona Essential Pass , which is similar to the Barcelona Pass, but with public transport included (in the form of the Hola Barcelona Pass ) instead of the Tourist Bus.

That would get you Sagrada Familia (with audioguide), Park Guell and free public transport (including metro/train from the airport), plus audioguide for Barcelona in general. When you buy the Essential Card via Tiqets you get a 10% discount code emailed to you, which you could use to pick up Casa Batllo tickets.

Hope that works out for you!

Hi first time to Barcelona, dates 4th to 7th september would like to visit casa battlo. segrada, park guell , casa mila, motjuic and possibly a boat trip too , can you advise which would be best please , travel and attractions cards

Those sights are all included in the Go City All Inclusive pass .

For Montjuic, you could use the Tourist Bus (included) to get there and you also have cable car tickets (for going right to the top), and free entry to Poble Espanyol, Olympic Museum and CaixaForum. Or you could sign up for the Montjuic Walking Tour (included).

Hi Duncan There’s just to many choices. We will be flying in on the 26th of October and leaving November 1 on a cruise so we are most interested the transit pass and a few major attractions. We enjoy walking tours self guided and just getting a feel for the city. Don’t really enjoy busy tourist attractions. Which pass would you suggest. Thanks Rich

Yes, it’s not always an obvious decision… I think the Barcelona Pass does a great job of catering to the first-time visitor’s needs. Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, tourist bus to join the dots. Grab it and you’re done basically!

However from your comment I feel like the Barcelona Card might be a better choice. That’s the official city card, which grants you free entry to pretty much all the city museums (more reading here: https://www.barcelona-life.com/barcelona/museums so you can see which take your fancy), none of which (apart from the Picasso Museum) get too crowded. The Barcelona Card also grants you free public transport.

The Go City passes are great if you want to do virtually ALL the expensive Gaudi sights (Sag Fam, Park Guell and the three separate mansions) and / or like tours. You can save good money with them if you are piling up the expensive options basically.

Hope that summary helps!

You might be best off making your itinerary first and then seeing if any of the cards line up well with your choices!

We are traveling in August with my husband and 3 teens. I already booked my Sagrada Familia tickets. We will like to visit Casa Batlló, el parque Güell, Monserrat tour, and maybe something else. Which pass would you recommend? Also, we are taking a cruise, which way is easier for us to get to the terminal, uber or taxi? Thank you Duncan!

If you’re already got your Sagrada Familia tickets then it’s hard to save money with any of the passes, because SF is the most expensive attraction and the cards are usually priced around including it.

The 3-choice Explorer Pass would see you break even more or less, but with the disadvantage that their Montserrat tour is just transport (no tour guide), and it might be a place where you want more context…

I would probably just go for individual tickets to each attraction in your position.

Here are my top 5 Montserrat tours btw, for some cool options:

https://www.barcelona-life.com/barcelona/montserrat#tours

Regarding transport to the cruise port… I haven’t actually been down to the cruise port, but I believe there’s a taxi rank there. Perhaps best iea though to book one advance, via the likes of Book Taxi BCN

https://www.barcelona-life.com/book-taxi-bcn

On their website they have a drop down menu where you can select Barcelona Port – Cruise Terminal as your pick up and Barcelona City (All Destinations) as your drop off. You can also let them know what ship you’re on, so they’ll be there to meet you.

Uber doesn’t work in Barcelona btw (although Cabify app does, so you could also try that for getting around town).

You have this in your post: Free Transport The Go City All-Inclusive pass includes free use of the Hop On / Hop Off Barcelona Tourist Bus for the duration of the card, plus Montjuic Cable Car tickets.

The Go Card company said you only have a bus option once, NOT for each day you have the all exclusive.

Thanks Tina, you’re correct, thanks for pointing that out. I have updated the post!

' src=

Hi Duncan – great information but I am confused as to what is best. 2 of us would like to visit La Sagrada, Casa Batllo, Casa Mila and Poble Espanyol, plus take the cable car. Is the Go City Explorer x 4 options the best way to go, bearing in mind I then have to pay for trains when I use them. Thanks for your suggestions.

I think you want the 3 choices Explorer pass…. because two of your attractions (Poble Espanyol and Cable Car) are less than €20, which is the difference between the 3 choice and 4 choice and the 4 choice and 5 choice pass. In other words, you’d be paying more. As long as each choice costs €20-25 the Explorer works better… if less, better to buy individual tickets.

Conclusion: So get the 3 x Explorer Pass for Sag Fam, Casa Mila and Casa Batllo and then pick up individual tickets for Poble Espanyol and Cable Car.

ps. This Montjuic article might be useful for you!

Hi Duncan, Wonderful info, lots to digest, I am visiting with my daughter in May who uses a wheelchair, are the hop on and hop off buses accessible? Wondering which pass would work best for us, we are staying for six nights, don’t know where yet perhaps you can suggest an area that would be fun and accessible. I appreciate your advice.

So I checked for you and the official tourist bus website says :

“All Barcelona Bus Turístic buses are equipped with an access ramp and wheelchair space inside the vehicle.”

I would perhaps suggest staying somewhere in, or near, El Borne. It’s a nice district, centrally located and a good vibe. However you can’t go too far wrong, every central district is pretty nice IMHO and there’s a good metro services (with lifts and ramps) if you need to swap districts. Being close to the yellow line is useful for getting to and from the city beaches. Speaking of which Poblenou is a very chilled district with little traffic and close to the beaches.

I would recommend checking out this post my an accessibility expert for more tips:

https://curbfreewithcorylee.com/2018/09/18/barcelona-wheelchair-access-guide/

Have fun, and let us know how you got on!

Hi Duncan, My husband and I are visiting Barcelona in 2 weeks, where our daughter is studying abroad. Looking at all of the passes it seems the City Explorer Pass may be best for us (and then purchasing the T-Casual transportation passes). My question is for the Sagrada Familia tickets, can we get tickets with a Tower Tour? It seems that some of the passes don’t offer the Tower tour and I’m not sure if the Explorer Package does.

Also, we want to book a tour to Montserrat. Is there one you would recommend over another? There seem to be so many options. We like to be active so one with a hike or wine tasting sound good. Thanks for any help you can give!

Tower access is not part of the Sagrada Familia tour available with the Explorer Pass, although it’s possible you could later upgrade with the company who provides the Sagrada tour (Amigo Tours). The picture is not clear I’m afraid (I asked Go City, but they were not even sure).

If you want to be 100% sure, I’d maybe get separate tickets and use the Explorer Pass for other attractions. Given you’re here for 2 weeks you can take your time and the Explorer Pass makes most sense. Just use it for the most expensive attractions!

Regarding Montserrat, I put what I think are the best tours here:

Hope that helps…

Hi Duncan, We will be traveling with our 4 year old in April. Wondering what would be the best option for us if we want to visit Parc Güell, La Sagrada Familia, el Tibidabo funicular (amusement Park not necessary), Montjuïc, Casa Milá or Batlló, a boat ride and possibly Montserrat. We don’t want guided tours, just entrance. We arrive on a Saturday late afternoon and leav e either Tuesday or Wednesday (if we include Montserrat). We would probably do our own thing around the Gothic quarter on Sunday and maybe a boat tour to allow for jet lag recovery. Would possibly fit in El Tibidabo or Montjuïc Sunday as well if we are up for it. Then sagrada familia, Parc Güell and Casa Batllo on Monday. Leaving Tuesday afternoon or tagging on Montserrat on Tuesday and leaving Wednesday morning. I was thinking the GoCity 3 day all inclusive pass would be worth it but not seems like most of what they offer are guided tours, which would be a challenge with a jet lagged 4 year old (and limited time). What pass would you recommend for our time there? I don’t know if it makes sense to start our pass on sunday (when jet lagged) or Monday. I liked the idea of the hop on hop off for transportation ease to the main attractions but maybe it’s not too hard to navigate public transport. Thank you!

Hi Michelle, while possible I think this might all be a bit ambitious for only two full days (Sunday and Monday).

If you’re keen to avoid being on a tour, perhaps the Barcelona Pass makes more sense. You can do Sagrada Familia and Park Guell on the same day, and use the rest of the day to ride the Tourist Bus over Montjuic (you don’t need advance tickets for Montjuic attractions like Joan Miro Foundation or MNAC so you can play Montjuic by ear). I’d just advise leaving plenty of time to get from Sagrada to Park Guell by Tourist Bus as I’ve heard the buses can get busy these days so you might have to queue a little to get on one. (Public transport def. possible, but a bit more hassle / walking).

Once you have the Barcelona Pass you can get 10% off Casa Batllo and a number of Montserrat and boat tours via Tiqets.

Hi Duncan, cool article! What do you think about the Hola Barcelona pass? Is it worth buying to save on public transport? We want to do the standard, I guess: Montserrat, Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Montjuic, Picasso Museum, maybe Poble Espanyol, or Aquarium. 5 days, Mon to Fri. Thanks in advance!

Czesc Natka

The Hola Barcelona Pass is pretty decent, as I believe you get the special airport metro fare included. You will probably save money vs. buying single tickets everywhere you go.

HOWEVER, I think 8/10 times you are going to save more money buying a T-Casual, which gives you 10 journeys on public transport for €11:35, with no time limit (or a time limit of several months).

https://www.tmb.cat/en/barcelona-fares-metro-bus/single-and-integrated/t-casual

You don’t get airport metro ticket included though (although personally I prefer to take the Aerobus anyhow, as I find it fast, convenient and still reasonably priced).

' src=

Hi Duncan Very good article I have a question we are a couple traveling to Barcelona on march interested in seeing sagarada familia, park guell,football stadium and the hop off and on bus. We don’t want like a schedule to do things just to enjoy and walk around wich card do you recommend. Thank You

Thanks for the feedback. Regarding your question, unfortunately these days tickets to popular attractions come with a specified time slot, meaning it’s no longer really viable to do the major sights in an ad hoc fashion. You have to plan a bit in advance. That’s true no matter which pass you buy, or which portal you get the tickets from, including the official websites, so there’s no way around it I’m afraid.

For your needs, I’d personally probably go for the Barcelona Pass and use the tourist bus to round up all those attractions in one day. Sagrada Familia maybe 10am, Park Guell at noon, lunch, then Camp Nou at 3pm, and then ride the bus over Montjuic in the late afternoon, as it’s very nice up there and some good views ( https://www.barcelona-life.com/barcelona/montjuic ). After you buy the Barcelona Pass, you should be able to buy the Camp Nou tickets with 10% discount via Tiqets.com.

That way you’ve done your sightseeing on Day 1 and can spend the rest of your trip walking around some cool districts like the Gothic Quarter, Born, Gracia or just go shopping, bar hopping or to the beach!

More inspiration here:

https://www.barcelona-life.com/things-to-do-at-night-in-barcelona

Note: the Go City Passes do cover your needs too, but with Go City you book a guided tour to the Sagrada Familia and Park Guell (not just entry tickets), meaning less flexibility about what times you can choose from. But maybe check them out in case the times work for you.

' src=

Hello, we want to visit Sagrada Famiglia, Casa Milo, Batllo, Park Guell and Picasso Can u suggest a city pass for all of this atractions and can i use them twice for the same places?

Hi Merlin, yes either of the Go City Passes will get you entry to those five attractions. However, you can only visit each attraction once, as far as I know.

' src=

Thank you for this great article! I’ve managed to use your discount on the Go City card 🙂

Well done Iva! Have fun in Barcelona 😎

Dinyar Sidhva

Duncan, Thanks for your prompt response. Most useful. Have a nice day. Warm Regards Dinyar

on the go explorer pass are there skip the line tours

Yes, you can select Sagrada Familia or Park Guell skip-the-line tours with the Go Explorer Pass, and you will enter the attraction at the allotted time without queuing more than a few minutes… you do have to be on time though!

In general every advance ticket is a ‘skip the line’ ticket (the phrase ‘skip-the-line’ comes from the times when most tourists would simply turn up at the gates and form a line, but most people now plan in advance, esp. for the big attractions).

Hi Duncan, Intend visiting Barcelona in May this year and based on your recommendations am planning to buy the 4-choice Explorer Pass to cover Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Casa Batlo & Cable Car to Montjuic. Q.1 How do I get to use the guide for the first 2 attractions with this pass? Do I get him/her on site? Q.2 When visiting Casa Batlo is some audio facility available? Q.3 Is cable car experience to Montjuic worthwhile or do you recommend another attraction. Q.4 When booking do I have to specify which 4 attractions I will be availing. Look forward to receiving your response. Thanks. Dinyar

With Sagrada Familia, after buying the pass, you will have to reserve a slot for La Sagrada Familia (I believe GoCity will send you a link to a booking calendar, or a calendar will pop up from their page) either on a morning tour (Monday to Saturday at 09:30) or an afternoon tour (15:30).

Same situation for Park Guell, but different timetables. In May, looks like you can choose from 12:15, 15:45 or 18:15 each day.

For Casa Batllo you’re essentially getting their standard ‘Blue ticket’, which includes Audio Guide and Gaudi Cube (360 degrees media exhibit).

Montjuic is really cool place to visit, with loads of attractions. You can read more here:

The cable car is fun, with great views from the sky, and helpful if you want to get to the very top of the hill (which is a steep walk). However it’s only a few minutes ride, so it’s only a short trip. At the top of the hill is Montjuic Castle (it’s a fortress not a castle though), and great views over the commercial port.

If you wanted to get more value from your pass, you could use your fourth attraction slot to get into one of the more expensive attractions, like La Pedrera (aka Casa Mila), and just buy the cable car ticket.

Kevin M. Wong

Duncan, I just read your article and went to the link for the GO Pass, All Inclusive pass. We are going to Barcelona in late November for one week. We ended up getting the 5-day pass and it looks like we can see a lot while riding the double-decker buses to get to the attractions. I wanted to say thank you for your wonderful article that explained all of the pass options. I honestly think the one we got is the best value for your money, but if someone is only going for a day or two, I can see how one of the others might work better. If you have any other advice or suggestions, I will gladly listen to your wise words. Thank you for your help.

Hi Kevin, yes I think the Go Pass is the best on the market right now, especially if you’re staying a bit longer, as you say.

None of the passes include a flamenco show these days, but there are some from just €20 on my dedicated page:

The link to compo does not work.

I would like a card if it pays off

We want to visit -The Sagrada Familia – Park Guell – Montjuïc Cable Car, one the way – Hop on off bus – Metro

Yes, this article is going to need a quite intensive update following the pandemic. Things are still in flux a bit. One card that has reestablished itself is the Barcelona Pass , available now on Tiqets, and it has EXACTLY what you’re looking for (except the metro… but you can buy a T-Casual card for just 10 or 11 euros and use that to get around)!

Please can you help !

There are 14 of us traveling to Barcelona on the 2nd jan returning on the 5th jan .

We have 6 teenagers 4 kids 4 adults

We basically Need a card for 4 days which gives us access to : Airport transfers ( using the metro) to noval hotel and back Metro use whilst out there and hop and on bus to get around

We want to see the La Sagrada Park Guell Picasso museum Football stadium if free ( not a must) Boat trip would be amazing Zoo ( possibly ) Any late night showes ( not essential but fun) Aquarium (if possible )

As we will all spilt but need access to public transport the whole time out there. Our hotel is noval Barcelona metro is across the rd

Am confused to if we get the Barcelona combo which seems like the best option is that per person and how many days ? Do You offer a family card which is cheaper and I have also looked at the I venture card that gives y out access for 7 days .

We need a card from 2nd jan until 5th jan your help will be much appreciated.

I hope to hear from You very soon as I need to book these cards and the best option plz

Hi Henna, yes it looks like Barcelona Combo is best option for you. The Combo is actually the official Barcelona Tourist Card, plus a package of Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Flamenco Show and Boat Trip added on top, at a discount price.

So you essentially are buying the Barcelona Card (you choose the duration, 3, 4 or 5 days), and that gives you free public transport, including metro to and from airport, and free Picasso Museum (plus many other museums). And then, in addition to the Card benefits, you also get the Combo bonuses as well (Sagrada Familia etc!), and you can choose the timing of those.

The Card would give you a discount on the Zoo and Aquarium (but not Camp Nou) if you did decide you wanted to visit any of those!

Hope that helps clarify things for you!

Ps. I don’t know of any family cards, but the Combo package is cheaper for those under 12 years old.

' src=

Hi Do you know if the night tour of La Pedrera is included in any of these tickets, please?

Many thanks

Yes, La Pedrera’s real name is Casa Mila.

You can see on the table that it is free with the Barcelona Pass.

Enjoy your travels!

Sorry, just realised you specified the night tour. Nope, that’s not included in any package. But you can purchase via Get Your Guide .

Hola Barcelona Travel Card: The Ultimate Guide (2024)

' src=

So, you’re thinking about taking the plunge into the vibrant streets of Barcelona? Whether it’s the allure of Gaudí’s architectural marvels, the mouthwatering tapas, or the sun-soaked beaches that have you hooked, getting around the city can be a tad overwhelming. 

Enter the Hola Barcelona Travel Card – a secret weapon for seamless travel. But with so many options out there, is it really the golden ticket you’re hoping for? 

Well, given that I live in Spain and have roamed the lively streets of Barcelona more times than I can count (usually by public transport!), I’ve got all the info you need to know on what this card is – and, importantly, if it’s worth it for you. 

In summary, what’s the deal with this card?

  • Free access to all public transport – metro, buses, trams, regional and suburban trains, and the Montjuïc funicular
  • Free metro travel to and from the airport (which is normally €10.30 for a return trip)
  • Choose between two and five days validity – so you only pay for how long your trip to Barcelona is
  • Note that you have to collect the physical card once you get to Barcelona, even when buying it online – but don’t worry, I’ve got the pickup points below

Buy the Hola Barcelona Travel Card here (it’s cheaper than buying it in person!)

Table of Contents

What does the Hola Barcelona Travel Card cover?

If you’re thinking of making your way around Barcelona with ease, the Hola Barcelona Travel Card is a practical option. Essentially, it’s a multi-day pass that gives you free access to a range of public transport in the city. 

That is, with this card in your pocket, you have the flexibility to hop onto the city’s metro, TMB buses, tram, the light rail FGC within Zone 1, take a ride up with the Montjuïc funicular railway, and even use the regional or suburban railway (Rodalies de Catalunya, Zone 1). 

Basically, if you plan to use public transport during your trip (which you should, in my opinion), this is going to be one of the best passes for Barcelona based on your travel style.

Plus, if you’re traveling to or from the airport, the card covers the airport Metro line . It’s worth noting that without the Hola Barcelona card, you’d need a separate Airport Ticket for this route, setting you back about €10.30 for a return trip.

Grab your own Hola Barcelona Travel Card here.

You can opt for a Hola Barcelona card that’s valid for 48, 72, 96, or 120 hours. But remember, this starts ticking from the moment you first use it, not by the calendar day. So, if you start using a 48-hour card at 4 PM, it’ll be valid until 4 PM two days later.

Hola Barcelona Travel Card covers Barcelona tram on Trambaix system. One of advantage of Hola Barcelona travel card.

What are the benefits of the Hola Barcelona Travel Card?

Exploring Barcelona can be simpler and cost-effective with the Hola Barcelona Travel Card. With versions ranging from 48 to 120 hours of unlimited travel, you have ample time and convenience to discover what the city offers.

The beauty of Barcelona often lies in its neighborhoods, parks, and the seafront. And while walking is a great way to soak in the city, the metro and bus network are easily the best ways to get around Barcelona . 

The Hola Barcelona card lets you get around efficiently, granting you access to the extensive metro, tram, and bus systems. And again, if you’re coming in or heading out via the airport, this card covers that metro route. 

If you need to pick one up after landing (whether you choose to purchase it in-person or  buy it at a discount online beforehand and then pick it up on arrival) or have queries, you can head to the tourist information offices located at both airport terminals.

What are the exceptions to the Hola Barcelona Travel Card?

While the Hola Barcelona Travel Card offers a lot, there are a few things it doesn’t cover. Specifically, you can’t use it for taxis or the NitBus service. It’s also not valid for the Aerobús, given that it’s operated by a privately owned company.

Despite these limitations, the card provides a comprehensive coverage of the city’s public transportation system. Just ensure you’re aware of what’s included and plan accordingly. Barcelona is an experience, and this card helps you navigate it better.

Is the airport bus included in the Hola Barcelona card?

No, the airport bus, also known as Aerobús, isn’t covered by the Hola Barcelona card. It’s operated privately and isn’t part of Barcelona’s city bus system. That said, with the HolaBCN card, you can hop onto the metro for free rides between the airport and city center.

While the Aerobus offers a direct route and certain conveniences, the metro remains one of the most reliable and cheapest ways to travel in Barcelona , including to the airport and especially if you’re using the Hola Barcelona card. Just remember to check the metro’s timings and routes, so you’re aligned with your flight schedules or city plans.

On the other hand, if you’d still rather have the convenience of the airport bus, you can buy a ticket for the Aerobús right here .

Who is the Hola Barcelona Travel Card best for?

The Hola Barcelona Travel Card is a handy choice for travelers aiming to maximize their time in the city using public transportation. If you’re planning multiple trips or hopping between attractions, this card offers both convenience and cost-saving benefits. 

It’s especially useful for those staying in the city for more than a day and want hassle-free access to various transport modes.

For first-timers or those revisiting, Barcelona is packed with sites to see. The card eliminates the need to buy individual tickets, giving you more freedom to spontaneously decide your next stop. 

Moreover, if you’re traveling with family or a group, having the card can simplify the logistics of getting around. Simply put, if you’re all about exploring Barcelona’s nooks and crannies without transport worries, the Hola Barcelona card is a solid bet.

Where can you buy the Hola Barcelona Travel Card?

You have a couple of options when it comes to purchasing the Hola Barcelona card. You can buy it directly in Barcelona from a ticket machine, or you can grab it online before your trip kicks off. Remember that buying it online gives you a discount compared to getting one in person.

So if you want to lock in that discount, buy your Hola Barcelona Travel card online here .

However, there’s a slight catch. If you opt for the online purchase, you’ll need to collect the card once you’re in Barcelona. Don’t sweat it though, there are several collection points for your convenience:

  • Airport, Terminal T1: You can find a Tourist Information Office at the Barcelona Airport. They operate from Monday to Friday, 8am to 8:30pm, and over the weekend from 8:30am to 8:30pm.
  • Airport, Terminal T2: Again at the Barcelona Airport, but with slightly different hours. From Monday to Saturday, it’s 8am to 8:30pm, and on Sundays, it’s 8:30am to 8pm.
  • Plaça Catalunya: Located at Plaça Catalunya, 17-basement, this spot is open daily from 8:30am to 8:30pm. There’s also an information booth in front of El Corte Inglés department store that’s open every day from 8:30am to 2:30pm.
  • Plaça Espanya: Head to Plaça Espanya, s/n – Avinguda Maria Cristina, where they’re available daily from 8:30am to 2:30pm.
  • Sagrada Familia: A tourist information booth is ready for you daily from 8:30am to 8pm.
  • Mirador de Colom (Columbus Monument): Located at Plaça Portal de la Pau, s/n, this spot is open daily from 8:30am to 2:30pm, but do note it’s closed on 1/1 and 25/12.

So, choose what works best for you and get ready to navigate Barcelona with ease!

The public area at the Terminal T1 of El Prat-Barcelona airport. This airport was inaugurated in 1963. Airport is one of the biggest in Europe and one of the busiest in the world. People are walking. One of the many advantage when you have Hola Barcelona travel card.

How much does the Hola Barcelona Travel Card cost?

Here’s the price of the Hola Barcelona Travel Card based on the length of the validity period you choose:

  • 48 hours (two days): €16.40 (i.e. €8.20 per day)
  • 72 hours (three days): €23.80 (i.e. €7.93 per day)
  • 96 hours (four days): €31 (i.e. €7.75 per day)
  • 120 hours (five days): €38.20 (i.e. €7.64 per day)

Alternatives to the Hola Barcelona Travel Card

Barcelona is a city with a comprehensive transport network, and as such, it has a variety of passes and cards to offer. For instance, there’s the T-Casual card, ideal for someone making multiple trips over an undefined period. The Barcelona Card also offers free transport along with discounts to several attractions.

Then there’s the T-Dia, a one-day unlimited travel ticket without the perks of discounted entry to places. Depending on your itinerary, duration of stay, and preferences, it might be worth comparing these alternatives to the Hola Barcelona card to ensure you’re getting the best bang for your buck.

What’s the difference between the Hola Barcelona card and T-casual?

The Hola Barcelona card offers unlimited rides over a set number of consecutive days, making it a top pick for tourists looking to explore extensively in a short span. On the other hand, the T-casual provides 10 trips, not bound by consecutive days.

This makes it ideal for travelers with a more relaxed schedule or those not requiring daily transport.

Basically, the Hola Barcelona card and T-casual are both useful tools to navigate Barcelona’s public transport, but they cater to different needs. It’s worth considering your travel plans and choosing the best one for you accordingly.

Is there a difference between “HolaBCN” and the “Hola Barcelona Travel Card”?

Names can be confusing, can’t they? Let’s clear the air. The card previously known as “HolaBCN!” Card underwent a little rebrand in 2019. Its new avatar? “Hola Barcelona” or “Hola Barcelona Travel Card”. 

But here’s the good news – the name might have got a facelift, but everything else remains the same! 

Since both names are rooted in traveler memory, I’ll be interchanging between the two in this guide. Just remember, they refer to the same trusty card!

Where is the Hola Barcelona Travel Card valid?

With the Hola Barcelona Travel Card in hand, Barcelona’s public transport is your oyster. It paves your way for unlimited rides on the metro (Metro), city buses (TMB), trams (Tram), light rail (FGC, Zone 1), the Montjuïc Funicular, and Rodalies regional trains within Zone 1.

Why is Zone 1 a big deal? Simple. Most of the iconic sights that have made Barcelona world-famous are nestled right here. 

Plus, it conveniently includes El Prat Airport, ensuring your city-airport-city commute is sorted.

Diving a little deeper: Rodalies trains, locally known as Catalan trains, act as a link between Barcelona and its outskirts. These trains reach destinations situated over 50 km from the city’s heart, but with your HolaBCN card, it’s Zone 1 where you’ll enjoy unrestricted access.

If buses are more your speed, you’re in for a treat. The card gives you a ticket to hop on any of the 100+ city bus lines operated by the city’s TMB company. However, do keep in mind that certain specialized bus routes, especially those managed by private entities like the Aerobús (airport shuttle) or NitBus, don’t accept the HolaBCN! Card. 

Always good to double-check before boarding!

Is it worth getting a travel card in Barcelona?

In Barcelona, having a travel card can simplify your mobility and potentially save you money. However, if you’re planning to stay in Barcelona for an extended period, say, more than a week, a monthly ticket might prove more economical. This ticket gives you flexibility and cost benefits over longer durations.

Unsurprisingly, the answer on whether it’s worth getting a travel card while you’re in Barcelona depends on your travel plans and intentions in the city. 

One other example is for those not arriving by plane and anticipating minimal use of the local transport. In those cases, buying individual tickets or opting for the 10-trip T-Casual card might be more sensible. It offers versatility without tying you down to unlimited rides.

Lastly, for the passionate sightseer, the Barcelona Card could be a game-changer. This card not only encompasses all the transport benefits of the HolaBCN card but also throws in either free or reduced admissions to a host of city attractions.

Can I buy a Hola Barcelona Travel Card from the airport?

Absolutely! The Hola Barcelona Travel Card can be purchased directly from the Barcelona Airport, making it convenient for travelers to acquire one right after landing.

(Although you can also buy the Hola Barcelona Travel Card online for a cheaper price than getting it in-person and then simply collect it at the airport once you get there!)

Where to buy a Hola Barcelona card in the airport?

For travelers keen on securing the Hola Barcelona Travel Card from the airport, keep an eye out for the Tourist Information Offices. Here’s where you can find them:

  • Airport, Terminal T1: Barcelona Airport operates from Monday to Friday, 8am to 8:30pm, and over the weekend, from 8:30am to 8:30pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
  • Airport, Terminal T2: This location is open from Monday to Saturday, 8am to 8:30pm, and on Sundays from 8:30am to 8pm.

Remember, if you’ve made an online purchase of the Hola Barcelona Travel Card, these offices are also where you’ll collect it. 

Bonus tip: Purchasing the card online offers a 5% discount, which is a neat saving for just a little pre-planning!

The public check-in area of Terminal T1 of El Prat-Barcelona airport. This airport was inaugurated in 1963. Airport is one of the biggest in Europe and one of the busiest in the world. People are walking to check-in. One of the many advantage when you have Hola Barcelona travel card.

How do you use the Hola Barcelona Travel Card on the bus?

Using the Hola Barcelona Travel Card on the city’s bus system is straightforward and user-friendly. Upon boarding a bus, you’ll find card validation machines. Simply place your Hola Barcelona card against the reader until you hear a beep or see a validation signal.

As you board any of Barcelona’s buses, look out for the card validation machines, typically near the entrances. Approach the machine and tap or place your card close to the reader. 

You’ll know the card is recognized when you hear an audible beep or when the machine’s display confirms the validation. This process ensures your card is active and valid for the journey. 

And remember, even though the card offers unlimited rides, you should always validate it every time you board.

Touristic bus on the street. Barcelona City Tour is a new official touristic bus service that shows the city with an audio guide. One of the many advantage when you have Hola Barcelona travel card.

Does Hola Barcelona include the Aerobus?

The Hola Barcelona Travel Card does not cover rides on the Aerobus. The reason behind this is that the Aerobus operates as a private service and isn’t integrated with the city’s regular bus system. 

However, there’s a silver lining for HolaBCN card holders traveling to and from the airport. While the Aerobus remains outside the purview of the Hola Barcelona card (and you can always buy a ticket for the airport bus separately here if you prefer the convenience it offers), cardholders are not entirely without airport connectivity. 

The city’s metro system, which is covered by the card, offers efficient connections to both the airport and the city center. This provides travelers with a convenient alternative, ensuring they can transition between the airport and their Barcelona destinations without incurring additional transport expenses. 

So, even if the Aerobus isn’t an option, your HolaBCN card still makes sure you’ll have a seamless airport commute.

Hola BCN: Barcelona Tourist Travel Card from €16.62 (+Airport)

hola bcn unlimited transport card barcelona

Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a cheap Barcelona travel pass  that gave you unlimited transport?

That way, we’d avoid the single-ticket pitfalls of fumbling for change, worrying about time validity, and mumbling through some basic 9th-grade Spanish.

It’d also be nice if this tourist travel pass had the potential to save us money.

That brings us to the Hola Barcelona Card (formerly the Hola BCN).

Also: don’t sleep on 2024’s new unlimited transport (with airport) card that comes with Sagrada Familia and Park Guell too:

travel barcelona card

This is one of the best ways to avoid sellouts , especially in high season!

Why Get an Hola Barcelona Travel Card

An all-inclusive transport card   with unlimited rides makes your holiday run like a clock.

Tourists have been buying Hola Barcelona Card (previously the Hola BCN Travel Card) for years because:

  • You get  unlimited public transport  on the metro, bus, tram, and funicular .
  • There’s  return Barcelona airport   transport via airport train, metro, or bus 46.
  • There’s  easy pickup at Barcelona Turisme kiosks.
  • It   eliminates the stress   of constantly buying tickets.
  • It’s cheap.

Remember: if you have any questions about Barcelona transport options , like how to get to any of the city’s top attractions from your holiday apartment write me in the comments below.

What Does this Barcelona Tourist Travel Pass Include?

Your super-handy Barcelona travel card will include  unlimited journeys in zone one on:

  • Overland trains (including the R2 from El Prat Airport to central Barcelona).
  • The metro (all lines including the L9 from Barcelona airport, a €9.00 value).
  • All TMB buses.
  • The Montjuic Funicular (careful! This is not the Montjuic Teleferic).

Some of you might be asking what exactly is zone one?

The simple answer is it’s the entire city centre and all suburban areas. Unlike bigger cities like New York and London, the area of zone one is the entire reach of the metro system.

This essentially encompasses all of the main tourist attractions in Barcelona .

Hola Barcelona Travel Pass Prices 2024

Strike-through prices are offline prices, so it’s best to book online with the 5% discount.

The price of a single ticket in Barcelona has increased to €2.55 in 2024, so your break-even point on the 48-hour pass is three uses a day – a virtual guarantee when visiting the city.

Here are the multi-day ticket prices:

These prices apply to everybody (including students, 65+ etc.) – only children under 4 ride free .

As you can see, buying this Barcelona transport pass online means you’ll spend just around €7.00 a day  for unlimited travel on public transport plus your connection from the airport to Barcelona city centre .

Keep in mind that from Sunday to Thursday, the metro closes between 00:00 and 05:00 and between 02:00 and 05:00 on Friday.

On Saturday night (to be clear, the night between Saturday and Sunday), the metro is open all night!

If you’re looking for a big club night, make it Saturday unless you’re rich enough for a Barcelona taxi .

Why Not Another Discount Card?

The barcelona card.

The good thing about this discount Barcelona travel pass is that it costs much less than its sister the Barcelona Card , which is more aimed at people looking to get lots of Barcelona attraction tickets in addition to getting unlimited transport.

If I’ve confused you a little make sure to check out my page comparing the two tourist travel cards .

The Barcelona Pass

The popular Barcelona Pass is a great option because it gets you into mega-attractions La Sagrada Familia and Park Guell , and a one or two-day pass on the Bus Turistic .

You’ll also get 10% off your Hola Barcelona Card plus 10% discounts on virtually anything you can do in Barcelona from flamenco to Camp Nou .

Deciding Which Barcelona Travel Pass to Get

If you’re sure you want to see a lot of attractions, you may be better off going for the Barcelona Card or the Barcelona Pass – but as far as a straight-up travel card goes, the Hola Barcelona Travel Card is the cheapest and most efficient.

Still a bit confused about which discount pass to get? Make sure you write me in the comments below with a list of things you’d like to see and a budget, and I’ll do my best to help out 🙂

Hola Barcelona Travel Card Zones

Barcelona Essentials belépő: korlátlan közlekedés hangos városnézővel

Barcelona Card- ingyenes tömegközlekedés és kedvezmények számos barcelonai látnivaló belépőjegyeiből

Page content.

A Barcelona Card kedvezményt nyújt számos barcelonai látnivaló belépődíjából.

A Barcelona-kártya érvényessége: 3, 4 vagy 5 napok.

A Barcelona Card a város néhány látnivalójába való belépést is magában foglalja. A Barcelona Card segítségével kedvezményeket kaphat a kiválasztott látnivalókra, múzeumokra, tevékenységekre, túrákra és show-kra. A Barcelona Card segítségével pénztárca és készpénz nélkül is tranzakciókat bonyolíthat, ami biztosítja, hogy pénze biztonságban maradjon, így nyugodtan utazhat szabadon. A barcelonai metróhálózat térképét és egy hatnyelvű turisztikai útmutatót is tartalmaz. A kártya megkönnyíti a helyi utazást, mivel a barcelonai metró, a katalán helyi vasút, a buszok, valamint a repülőtéri RENFE vonat és metró ingyenes használatához biztosít hozzáférést. Ez a kedvezményes turisztikai kártya akkor lehet érdekes az Ön számára, ha szeretné, hogy a belvárosi 1. zóna területén a közlekedési jegyeket előre megszervezzék. Akkor is érdekes lehet, ha egyszerűen csak el akarja kerülni, hogy idegen nyelven, készpénzzel kelljen folyamatosan jegyet vennie, ami stresszes lehet, ha nem beszéli a nyelvet. A kártya számos kedvezményt kínál a híres látnivalók belépőjegyeiből, és ezek közül sokhoz elsőbbségi belépést is biztosít, azonban nem minden látnivalóhoz biztosított az elsőbbségi hozzáférés. A kártya egy térképet és útmutatót tartalmaz, amely segít megtervezni az útvonalat a városban, így jó kiindulópontot nyújt a barcelonai utazáshoz. Javasoljuk, hogy látogasson el az alábbi linkre, amely további információkat tartalmaz a kínált kedvezményekről. Ezután kiszámolhatja, hogy mennyit spórolna ezzel a kártyával, hogy megnézze, érdemes-e megvásárolnia az utazásához.
