Tourist Bus

A double-decker bus with hop-on-hop-off stops at the main points of interest, with audio guides in several languages.

Price: A one-day ticket costs around €30; a two-day ticket around €40. Often included in some combined tourist passes.

Barcelona's Bus Turístic runs two main routes — red and blue — which between them cover practically every point of tourist interest in the city: from the Sagrada Família and Park Güell to Camp Nou, Poble Espanyol or Barceloneta beach. In high season a third route, the green one, is added.

The ticket lets you hop on and off at any stop as many times as you like during its validity period (one or two days), which makes it especially useful for planning your day by combining transport and sightseeing without relying on other means of getting around. Every seat on the open upper deck comes with headphones for the audio guide, available in several languages.

Its strong point is comfort and the panoramic view from the top deck; its weak point is that in high season traffic can slow down the routes between stops considerably. For anyone who prefers to get around independently, the metro and city bus reach the same places for a fraction of the price.
