    Getting TO/AROUND: The metro in Barcelona is really easy to use and pretty affordable. There are five different lines as well as train access to cities outside Barcelona. The main lines are identifiied by color as well as number so don't be confused to find out that the blue line is also number 5. Yellow-4, Green-3, purple-2, 1-red. A 10 ticket is a good option because it can be shared and costs about 6.50 euro. This 10 pack (one card which can be used 10 times) will also work on city buses, so you have the option of using both. With so many places close together you should be able to get through a short trip to Barcelona by walking to many places and only purchasing a couple 10 trip cards.

    Getting TO/AROUND: Some may not know but up to an hour after using the bus you can use the metro for free using the same pass. So if you discover you've gotten lost or made the wrong stop, or if you just want to transfer from bus to metro, you can do this using only one trip on your pass.
