Barcelona City Pass: Explore Barcelona with ease

Barcelona is a vibrant city of modernist wonders, medieval streets, and Mediterranean energy, but ticking off its must-see sights can be logistically tricky. With Barcelona’s City Cards, you get skip-the-line attraction access, unlimited public transport, and exclusive discounts, perfect for getting a taste of the city with just one pass. Whether you're marveling at Gaudí’s Sagrada Família, wandering Park Güell, touring Casa Batlló, or soaking up views from Montjuïc, Barcelona City Cards help you skip ticket lines, cut costs, and breeze past planning stress. With bundled entry to top sights, they offer big savings compared to buying individual tickets for each attraction.

Barcelona City Pass in a nutshell

Variety of cards:
You can pick from cards that bundle unlimited public transport with top attractions, flexible All-inclusive or Explorer-style passes based on days or number of sights, or basic transport-only passes.

Type of city cards:
Barcelona offers three main city card options: Public transport passes for unlimited travel, Explorer Passes to choose a set number of attractions, and All-Inclusive Passes that cover 25-40+ sites and sometimes transport.

Which city card is best for you?
Go for the Barcelona Card if you want unlimited transit plus access to 25+ museums. The Go City Barcelona All Inclusive Pass is best if you're aiming to hit 40+ major sights and tours (though it doesn’t include public transport). Prefer flexibility? The Go City Barcelona Explorer Pass lets you visit 2 to 7 attractions at your own pace. If you want to see 3 top attractions, the Headout Barcelona Pass lets you quickly sample the city's key attractions on a budget.

How to use your Barcelona City Pass:
Simply select your attractions, plan your visit, and scan your pass from your phone upon arrival. No need to print or queue!

Why buy the Barcelona City Pass?

Casa Batllo

Save between 30-50%

Individually, attraction tickets and transport add up fast. A well-planned city card bundles admissions and discounts, often paying for itself after just 2-3 visits, saving you anywhere between 30-50%.

Barcelona

Convenience & stress-free exploration

Instead of juggling tickets and schedules, a Barcelona City Card consolidates everything into one digital/physical pass. No need to research each ticket or carry cash, just one pass for attractions, transit, and discounts.

Flexibility

Barcelona City Cards offer tailored options to fit every travel style – choose from All-inclusive, Explorer, 3-attraction, or transport-only passes with durations ranging from 2 to 5 days. For attraction-based passes, you get up to 30 days to sightsee at a pace that you’re comfortable with.

Barcelona

Skip the lines, save time

Popular sites like Sagrada Família or Park Güell often sell out or have hour-long queues. City cards typically include fast-track entry, letting you bypass general admission lines, a game-changer for maximizing limited vacation time.

Types of Barcelona City Passes explained: Day-Based vs. Attraction-Based

Day-Based Card

A day-based Barcelona city card offers access to multiple museums and cultural sites, unlimited access to public transport, depending on the pass you pick, plus discounts for a set number of consecutive days (usually 2, 3, 4, or 5 days). It’s ideal for travelers who want to explore a wide range of sights and save money on transport and entrance fees while enjoying skip-the-line benefits at popular venues.

Recommended Tours:

  • Barcelona Card
  • Go City Barcelona All Inclusive Pass

Attraction-Based Card 

An attractions-based Barcelona city card allows you to choose and pay for entry to a set number of specific attractions from a curated list, rather than being limited by days or hours. You pick the number of attractions you want to visit (for example, 2, 3, 5, or 7), and the card grants you access to your selected sights over a flexible period (often up to 30 days from first use or date selected).

Recommended Tours:

  • Go City Barcelona Explorer Pass
  • Articket Passport
  • Headout Barcelona Pass

Which Barcelona City Pass is best for you

Barcelona All Inclusive Card: 25+ Museums & Transportation

If you want to see as much as possible in a few days

For travelers looking to experience the best of Barcelona in a short time, the Barcelona Card and Go City Barcelona All-Inclusive Pass are the top choices.

The Barcelona Card offers free entry to over 25 museums (including must-sees like the Picasso Museum and MNAC), unlimited public transport (metro, buses, trams, and trains), and discounts on tours, attractions, and restaurants. It’s perfect for culture lovers who want seamless access to Gaudí’s masterpieces, historic sites, and hassle-free transit.

The Go City Barcelona All Inclusive Pass grants admission to 40+ attractions and tours, including Sagrada Família, Park Güell, and hop-on-hop-off bus rides. Unlike the Barcelona Card, it doesn’t include public transport, but it covers big-ticket sights with skip-the-line privileges. It’s ideal for those prioritizing iconic experiences over transit.

Both passes come in 1- to 5-day options, letting you tailor your sightseeing to your schedule. If you want all-in-one convenience (museums + transport), the Barcelona Card wins. If you prefer concentrated sightseeing without transit needs, Go City’s All-Inclusive Pass is the better pick.

If you want to see top attractions on a budget

Budget-conscious travelers should consider the Go City Barcelona Explorer Pass , where you only pay for what you visit.

The Go City Barcelona Explorer Pass lets you choose 2 to 7 attractions from 45+ attractions (e.g., Camp Nou, Casa Milà, or a flamenco show) at a bundled discount. It’s perfect if you only want to hit a few paid sights. The pass stays valid for 30 days, which means you can explore your chosen sights at a pace that suits you.

Choose the Headout Barcelona Pass if you want to see three of the city’s biggest highlights like Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, or a Hop-on Hop-off tour, without the hassle of separate bookings. It’s all bundled in one easy mobile ticket, saving you time, stress, and money.
