Barcelona Bus Turístic: Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour

About this experience

Book Barcelona Bus Turístic hop-on hop-off tickets and see the Catalan capital from the open upper deck of a double-decker bus. Choose a 24-hour or 48-hour ticket, ride both the Red Route and the Blue Route as often as you like, and get off wherever you want more time, from Sagrada Família and Park Güell to Montjuïc and the beaches. An audio guide with headphones and a city map are included, but entry to the attractions is not included. What do the Barcelona hop-on hop-off Red and Blue routes cover? The Blue Route covers the upper city: Passeig de Gràcia with Casa Batlló and Casa Milà (La Pedrera), Park Güell, the Güell Pavilions, Pedralbes and the road towards Tibidabo, plus Spotify Camp Nou for football fans. The Red Route passes Sagrada Família, then crosses to Plaça d'Espanya, the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya and Montjuïc, the highest hill in the city centre, before running down to the seafront and the beaches. The two routes share stops in the centre, so you can change from one to the other without paying again. How does the Barcelona bus ticket work? Your ticket is valid for 24 or 48 hours from activation, depending on the option you book. After booking, your voucher is sent by email. Show it on your phone to the staff when you get on the bus for the first time, and you receive a paper ticket to use for every ride after that. The main starting point is Plaça de Catalunya, but you can start at any stop on either route. Adult tickets and reduced Senior/Disabled tickets are available as separate ticket types when you book. Buses run from 09:00 to 19:00, with a bus every 10 to 20 minutes, and the last departure leaves the Plaça de Catalunya stops at 19:00 on both routes. There are no buses on 1 January and 25 December. Children under 4 ride free. What is included with your Barcelona hop-on hop-off bus ticket? Unlimited rides on the Red and Blue routes for 24 or 48 hours Audio guide in 16 languages: English, Spanish, Catalan, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Russian, Turkish, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese and Japanese Headphones and a city map Discounts on a range of activities in the city Entry to Sagrada Família, Park Güell, Casa Batlló and the other sights is not included. Book those separately and ahead of time, because set entry times at the Gaudí buildings often sell out. Is the bus accessible? Yes. The buses are wheelchair accessible, and the audio guide works from any seat. The best views are from the open upper deck, while the lower deck is covered if it rains or gets cold. Tips for planning your Barcelona bus tour day With a 24-hour ticket you can ride most of one route and stop at two or three sights. If you want to cover both routes and spend time in museums along the way, the 48-hour ticket is the more relaxed choice. Start early at Plaça de Catalunya to avoid the longest lines at the first stop. Bring sun protection and water in summer, and a light jacket for the upper deck in winter. Traffic in the centre can be heavy, so leave extra time between stops if you have a set entry time at a sight. Make more of your Barcelona visit Get off on the Blue Route with Park Güell tickets for a set entry time, or at Passeig de Gràcia for Casa Milà (La Pedrera) entry with an audio guide. On the Red Route, Sagrada Família fast-track tickets help you skip the longest lines. Football fans can choose the hop-on hop-off bus with FC Barcelona Museum entry.
