Had the 5 day travel card. Worked very well. Absolutely reliable. Together with an App (Metro) and google map no problem to get proper orientation.

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.

Amazing visit, our guide explained the life of Picasso and the different art work very well. Group was small like a dozen people - not too many people despite being at 2:00 pm.

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 had a great guide, who took us through the narrow streets of old Barcelona. Perrine told us stories about Picasso and old Barcelona. A very enriching experience. We really appreciated her professionalism. Thank you Perrine .
