By Bus: The Bus Turistic

    Getting TO/AROUND: The Bus Turistic is a great way to see Barcelona. We purchased the two day passes (21 euros per person). This gave us the time to get on and off the bus as we wished. I recommend doing some advanced research into what you really want to get off the bus to see and where it is, mostly because you can become a bit disoriented when getting off the bus. The bus takes two routes and if you plan on getting off at a lot of stops, then the two day pass would be worth it for you. Otherwise, just get the one day pass, stay on the bus and listen to the comments about each site and then hop on the metro the next day to get to where you want to go.

    Metro: The Barcelona metro is a great way to get around
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Subway/Metro
    Getting TO/AROUND: The Barcelona metro system is very easy to navigate. In addition, many of the main tourist attractions are very easily accesible from the metro stops.

    The tickets can be bought in all different denominations. For example, you can purchase a single fare ticket for 1,15 euros or a pack of 10 tickets (a T-10) for 6,30 euros. There are also several day passes available.

    The website below is very detailed and helpful. You can find a subway map on this site. You can also do searches for where you want to get to and the website will tell you which line and stop to get off at to get there.

     Love the double decker bus, a bit like the big red bus tours in London.
