Get around in Barcelona

This time I’m going to explain and suggest to you guys, which are the best ways I consider to get
around in Barcelona. So, I’m also adding the Barcelona metro map so that you can have an idea of
areas and dimensions. Barcelona is the perfect size, so you will be able to get to almost all main
attractions by public transport in Zone 1 or even walking if you feel like it.

Best options to get around in Barcelona.

1) I would like to start with the traditional Day Cards for tourists.

Day Cards allow you to travel unlimited by public transport (bus, metro & train) for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 days. 2 Days are 15€ per person and this allows you also to get from and to airport. (That’s important to consider). As I said before, check the map, because if you are a walking person, maybe you don’t need a card like that to get around in Barcelona.

2) If you are planning to buy the Hop on hop off Bus tour, it offers different routes. I’m adding that map too which includes the main attractions in town. Price is 27€ per person for 1 day or 30€ per person for 2 days.

Barcelona Bus turistic routes hop on hop off

I think this is good advice, check this map first and select the attractions you would like to visit. You
can also check my video blog “FIRST TIME IN BARCELONA” to have an idea of how many days to
spend in the city, what to see and how far the attractions are from each other. If you like sitting and
sightseeing from a bus this is a good option for you. You will get to places that are really far away.
But if you are more likely to walk and discovering neighbourhoods, little streets, restaurants, etc,
then maybe you don’t need a touristic bus to get around in Barcelona.

3) So now we get to the local integrated cards “T-10”. This is what we use in town. I think this option is for people who are not going to use a lot the public transport.

Just to let you to know, the single ticket is 2,2€. This is a ticket valid for a single journey on a bus,
metro or train. But the integrated one such us T10, costs €10.30, and allows you to share it, it’s a
multi-person travel card valid for 10 journeys. So 10 journeys for 10€ almost 1€ per trip. That’s
sounds interesting. Be aware it’s not valid for the airport.

Where to buy transport tickets to get around in Barcelona?

You will be able to buy your tickets in train and metro stations machines & Tabacs shops around the city. On the bus you will only be able to buy a single ticket for 2,5€.

Where to buy the hop on and hop off bus tour to get around in Barcelona?

You can do it online, in the same bus or in our office, come and meet me at Carrer de Montsió 10 “Rusc de Turisme”.
