Barcelona Travel Discounts
Barcelona Card with Guidebook & City Map
More often than not these discount cards tend to be no big deal when travelling
but this one in Barcelona really is an exception to that rule. It offers
unlimited free travel on public transport including the airport train, metro and
urban buses as well as free entries and discounts to many of Barcelona's major
attractions.
Passes are available for two, three, four and five days starting from as little
as €25.00 for a two day adult ticket. Every card comes with a free guidebook in
English with helpful information on the establishments associated with the card,
as well as a city map. More and more establishments keep signing up to be part
of the Barcelona Card programme and the current ones are listed below.
The Barcelona Card is a highly regarded travel pass issued by the Tourism
Association of Barcelona. If you buy the
Barcelona Card online you simply print out a booking confirmation form at
home which you then present at the tourist information office in Barcelona
airport (with ID) which is open from 9am to 9pm. You can then take the RENFE
airport train into the city at no extra charge. Alternatively, you can collect
your Barcelona Card at the main tourist information office under Plaça de
Catalunya or any other official tourist information office.
