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.

Great access to many museums, doesn't include all tourist attractions- but definitely worth it just for the metro pass. Easy to find the office to pick up the card and staff were all very helpful and friendly.

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.

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.

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.

Confusing ticket options and overpaying

You’ll notice Barcelona’s ticket options range from single rides to multi-day passes, making it tricky to figure out what’s best for multiple daily trips. Buying single tickets for each ride can quickly become expensive if you’re hopping between landmarks. The Hola BCN Travel Card is a simple solution, offering unlimited travel on metro, buses, and trams for 2-5 days. If you’re hitting museums too, the Barcelona All-Inclusive Card bundles access to top attractions and covers all public transport, which can be a real money-saver.

Traveling from Barcelona made hassle free

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.

Zone confusion

Barcelona’s multiple transport zones are confusing, and if you travel outside of your ticket’s coverage, you may face unexpected costs or fines. The Hola BCN travel card simplifies this by covering all of Zone 1, where most major sights are located. The all-inclusive card is also a safe choice, especially if you’re sightseeing—it includes transport within central zones and grants access to over 25 museums and attractions.

Activate your card upon first use and enjoy seamless travel across various modes of transport without the need for multiple tickets. Just one swipe and you’re set—no need to search for spare change or buy new tickets each time.

Save more, stress less

A single metro or bus trip in Barcelona costs around €2.40. If you’re planning to visit multiple sights daily, those costs add up fast. The Hola Barcelona Travel Card can save you up to 45% on transportation, giving you more room in your budget for the experiences that matter.

Flexible duration options

Choose from 2, 3, 4, or 5-day passes to match your travel itinerary, with each pass valid for 90 days from the date of purchase until the last day of February of the following year. Each pass also offers consecutive-day access, so whether you’re here for a short visit or an extended trip, you can explore Barcelona at your own pace.

Start saving from the airport

Why spend up to €35 on a taxi from the airport when your Hola Barcelona Travel Card lets you hop on the metro straight to the city center? Use it the moment you land and avoid the hassle of pricey airport transfers. The card covers metro journeys between Barcelona-El Prat Airport and the city center.

Easy to redeem and ready to use

After purchasing, you’ll receive a voucher code via email. Head to any metro station vending machine or Tourist Information Office, enter your code, and collect your card. Swipe at your first entry, and the card activates—no delays, no fuss.

Comprehensive coverage

Access a wide range of public transport services, including metro lines, buses (TMB), urban railway (FGC, Zone 1), trams, and the Montjuïc funicular, facilitating convenient travel throughout the city.

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.
  • Barcelona Hop‑on Hop‑off bus tours: Hop‑on Hop‑off bus tours is one of the easiest ways to get around Barcelona’s top landmarks and neighbourhoods.
  • Barcelona City Card: Barcelona City Card helps you skip ticket lines to museums and attractions, handy all year round.
