It was so easy to get the tickets at the airport information desk. The lady we dealt with was so polite and professional. Picked up the tickets, headed to the Metro and off to the hotel. We used the Barcelona card to gain discounted access to some muesums, the cable car and the aquarium. The card is a must - the discounts may be small in some locations, but they do add up. Well worth it.

Instructions for redeeming this ticket were not clear at all. Had a lot of trouble finding out how to exchange this voucher for the real pass. Need more specific address for the catalunya booth. Was given incorrect instructions from metro staff everywhere. This was advertised as refundable and cancellable, it was not.

The card worked after I received it. Unfortunately, I received it a whole day late and was told that I would not get anything back. As the electricity was out for a whole day in Spain, this was an unforeseen event. I realize this, but I would have liked a refund for one day

If you have a late flight, you cannot immediately use the ticket to travel from the airport to your downtown destination. Still had to buy another ticket for metro and could only use the 96h ticket the day after. Otherwise, we were satisfied with it.

You can move around Barcelona very flexibly. The metro is also pleasant. The buses are already unpleasantly overcrowded. If you book in advance via Headout, you can only get tickets from certain information points. We therefore had to pay an additional 5 euros for the journey there. You could have bought the Hola Barcelona ticket from any ticket machine.

First the digital purchase and app but you have to print it out afterwards and can't drive directly via the QR code in the app. What a pity. I couldn't print it out at the airport, the next morning I needed a ticket because I had to go to an appointment and couldn't go to a tourist information office to print it out. It could be fully digitalized. Thank you

These passes are very practical and recommended if you're staying in Barcelona. However, be careful. If you buy them online, you can only pick them up at certain times in certain places. Don't be fooled like me if you arrive late in Barcelona, you won't be able to collect them until the following day. You can buy exactly the same passes from kiosks at any time, especially at the airport.

I have never visited so many museums in Barcelona. The ticket allows you to visit museums that would otherwise not have been on your itinerary. Unfortunately, the ticket redemption is very inconvenient, especially the metro ticket, which I would have liked to have immediately on the evening of arrival and not the next morning.

The big problem is finding an office where you can change your e-ticket. It's badly indicated and poorly explained on the app and at the time of purchase. It's also important to specify which museums are free and which are discounted, as well as the percentage discount, and to state clearly that aerobus is not included.

As a first-time visitor to Barcelona, I found it a bit less straightforward than expected to figure out how to get the metro pass and the attraction card. I really appreciated that many museums were free to access with the card, but in hindsight, I wish I had chosen the other pass that included entry to the Gaudí museums, as those were the main attractions I was hoping to visit. Unfortunately, I only realized this later on. Overall, I loved the convenience of simply showing my Barcelona Card at the counter and receiving my ticket—it made the experience so much smoother.

I believe booking thru this site was approx 3 euros more expensive than booking direct. We tried to board at Universitat but were turned away by the driver saying we had to go to another station to board. I'm not sure why that is the only station that is only a drop off when all the others are available to board. Its not a long walk to the next station, but it was unexpected. There are plenty of busses available and its a great service to use for easy access to and from the airport.

It was easy to use. There was some confustion at the airport as to which QR code was the correct one. The gentleman scanning tickets said I didn't have an AeroBus ticket and it was only the Hola Barcelona ticket. But I was able to find the correct QR code that worked. Since I am unfamiliar with the BCN airport or the language I did watch the videos on how to exit the airport to the bus stop and that was helpful.

Audio guide? There wasn't one... Luggage stowage suboptimal, especially when the bus is full! So, the statement that there is plenty of space for luggage only applies to half-full buses. However, as the crowds were exorbitantly large (we had to take 2 buses), large suitcases can hardly be accommodated. The positive thing was that the buses came so quickly one after the other and the display on the bus about the stops was very clear

The bus was quickly found at the airport. There really is a bus going to Plaça de Catalunya every 5-10 minutes. Next time we are in Barcelona again, we will definitely use this service.

Quick and easy to book online, no waiting time when boarding, no app to use, a pdf comes in the email, open it, show it and you're done. Every seat on the bus is equipped with a USB charger and stops directly in front of the terminal; it couldn't be simpler, less stressful or cheaper.

I most liked that you can bring up your ticket offline. The bus was clean and comfy, and I got a scenic little tour of Barcelona on the way to the Placa de Catalonia. I am glad for this service.

We really loved so much the experience. I really think you could explain better all the informations in your app and PDF ticket. For exemple: The informations about which events/access can be enter by QR CODE or only by printed vouchers/cards are really confused. Many tourits became confused. The Aerobus, "Monbus" enterprise, ARE NOT PUBLIC TRANSPORT! As i said, i really didn't understand your explanations and i lost a little time in my arrival in Barcelona.

Viel Geld ausgegeben und sehr wenig dafür erhalten. 213,40 Euro Kosten und nur ca 80 Euro erhalten. Turbopass nie wieder. Ich erwarte mir für die zwei Turbopass Tickets die ich gekauft habe um 426,80 ein Entschädigung von mindestens 135 Euro pro Ticket um die Kosten auszugleichen.

BarcelonaHola Barcelona Travel Card

Visiting Barcelona? The Hola Barcelona Travel Card offers unlimited access to the city's public transportation system, including metro, buses, trams, and trains, for consecutive periods of 2, 3, 4, or 5 days. And guess, what? Unlike regular tickets or the T-Casual pass, you also get direct access to and from the airport, saving you the €11 round-trip airport fare! This pass simplifies your travel, allowing you to explore Barcelona without the hassle of purchasing individual tickets!

All about Public Transportation in Barcelona

Do you really need a Barcelona travel card?

Valid question! We’d absolutely recommend considering a Barcelona travel card especially if you’re a tourist who doesn’t want to overspend on transportation or struggle with complex ticket options. Barcelona aims for 65% of trips via public transport, yet tourists face challenges navigating the city's transport system. If you’re dealing with confusing ticket types, costly single rides, or language barriers at the ticket machines, the Hola Barcelona Travel Card can make your trip simpler, smoother, and much more affordable.

High costs with single tickets

If you’re planning to explore all day, single tickets add up quickly and can end up being quite expensive. The Hello Barcelona card offers unlimited travel, making it far more cost-effective for travelers hopping around frequently. Alternatively, the Turbopass covers public transport plus a range of city experiences and guided tours, allowing you to see the city without breaking the bank.

Airport transfer confusion

Standard tickets don’t always include the airport metro line, which can catch you off guard right after landing. Having to buy a separate airport ticket can be a hassle and an extra cost. The Hola Barcelona pass includes metro access from El Prat Airport, so you’re covered right from arrival. Or, if you only need direct airport-city transport, the Aerobus Ticket provides a reliable, 35-minute ride with convenient stops around the city center.

Ticket validation and fines

It’s easy to overlook validating your ticket before each journey, but in Barcelona, this can lead to fines if there’s a random inspection. With the Hola BCN tickets, you simply swipe each time—no worries about revalidating or getting fined.

Language barriers at ticket machines

Ticket machines aren’t always user-friendly, especially when they’re mostly in Spanish. Mistakes here can lead to wrong ticket types or wasted money. Pre-purchasing the Hola Barcelona Travel Card or Barcelona All-Inclusive Card online solves this, allowing easy pickup at any metro station with a code.

Public transport zones in Barcelona

Barcelona's integrated fare system encompasses 296 municipalities, organized into six zones, facilitating seamless travel with a single ticket or travel card.

Understanding the zones:

  • Zone 1: Covers the entire city of Barcelona and is sufficient if your travels are confined to the city center. This zone also includes the route from Barcelona Airport to the city center, even though the airport is located outside the city limits.
  • Zones 2 to 6: Encompass surrounding towns and areas. If you plan to visit destinations like Montserrat or coastal towns beyond Barcelona, you'll need to consider these zones.

NOTE: The Hola Barcelona Travel Card covers Zone 1, including the FGC urban railway and Rodalies de Catalunya, offering full access to Barcelona's main transit routes.

Additionally, services like the Montjuïc Cable Car and the Barcelona Bus Turístic are not included in the card's coverage.

Tips for getting around Barcelona with the Hola Barcelona Travel Card

  • Night buses aren’t included: The Hola Barcelona Travel Card doesn’t cover night buses, which run during late hours and have line numbers starting with an “N.”
  • Valid for consecutive hours, not days: The card works on a 48, 72, 96, or 120-hour basis, starting from your first use. So, if you start using a 48-hour card at 4pm, it will stay active until 4pm two days later.
  • Avoid peak event times if you can: Barcelona is a hotspot for music festivals like Primavera Sound and Sonar, plus major events like the Mobile World Congress. Unless you’re here for those, you may want to steer clear of these dates, as hotel rates soar and the city gets crowded.
  • Beyond La Rambla: While La Rambla is famous, it’s often packed with tourists. For a more local feel, stroll down the Rambla del Raval, known for its Botero cat sculpture, or the Rambla del Poblenou, which stretches from Diagonal to the beach, offering a more laid-back vibe.
  • Take advantage of free museum hours: Many Barcelona museums offer free entry on certain days. For example, the Picasso Museum is free on the first Sunday of each month and Thursday evenings. The Barcelona Cathedral (not to be confused with the Sagrada Familia) is free to visit between 8:30am and 12:30pm, and again from 5:45pm to 7:30pm. Note that hours may vary by day.
  • Efficient public transport: Navigating Barcelona is simple with its efficient public transport system. The metro and buses make it easy to reach popular spots, and connections to major train and bus stations mean you’re all set for day trips beyond the city.
  • “HolaBCN!” and “Hola Barcelona Travel Card”: You might see this card referred to as “HolaBCN!,” “Hola Barcelona,” or “Hola Barcelona Travel Card.” Until 2019, it was called “HolaBCN!”—a name many still recognize. The only change now is the name; everything else about the card’s benefits remains the same. So, if you spot any of these names, rest assured they all mean the same thing.

It was so easy to get the tickets at the airport information desk. The lady we dealt with was so polite and professional. Picked up the tickets, headed to the Metro and off to the hotel. We used the Barcelona card to gain discounted access to some muesums, the cable car and the aquarium. The card is a must - the discounts may be small in some locations, but they do add up. Well worth it.

It's super easy to buy, and the app gives us access to our tickets even without a wifi network. I highly recommend this app. It makes life easier when traveling.

As a first-time visitor to Barcelona, I found it a bit less straightforward than expected to figure out how to get the metro pass and the attraction card. I really appreciated that many museums were free to access with the card, but in hindsight, I wish I had chosen the other pass that included entry to the Gaudí museums, as those were the main attractions I was hoping to visit. Unfortunately, I only realized this later on. Overall, I loved the convenience of simply showing my Barcelona Card at the counter and receiving my ticket—it made the experience so much smoother.

Barcelona has a fantastic metro network. The cards were very helpful from the first to the last day. We also used some of the museums and got the promised discount or free entry.

The "passport" is exactly as described and works perfectly. No reservation is needed even for temporary ones. For each passport, it is possible to have a "guest" person (paying his or her own fee) skip the line with you. You can pick it up at each of the scheduled museums.

It was great to be able to skip the lines, particularly at the Picasso Museum. My trip coincided with the blockbuster Miro/Picasso show that appears at both the Picasso Museum and Miro Foundation so having those 2 museums as part of the pass was important. Otherwise I explored a number of museums I wouldn't necessarily have gone to. I loved the National Art Museum of Catalonia which has an incredible collection of church frescoes saved from across small villages in the Pyrenees as well as an interesting modern art collection. I was a bit disappointed by the MACBA but saw a great AI exhibit at the neighboring CCIB that I would normally never have thought to visit.

We really loved so much the experience. I really think you could explain better all the informations in your app and PDF ticket. For exemple: The informations about which events/access can be enter by QR CODE or only by printed vouchers/cards are really confused. Many tourits became confused. The Aerobus, "Monbus" enterprise, ARE NOT PUBLIC TRANSPORT! As i said, i really didn't understand your explanations and i lost a little time in my arrival in Barcelona.

The hola pass was given to us at the Barcelona airport tourist office in exchange for the voucher we received by e-mail. It enabled us to use all means of transport to visit the city for 4 days at a reasonable price.
