TRAVEL / PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

Barcelona is very well connected by public transportation (metro, buses, tram and train). The most used public transportation cards, which include metro, train, buses and tram, are:

  • T-casual (12,55€): 10 rides with all public transports. It does not include travel to and from the airport.
  • T-usual (22€): unlimited travel with all public transports within the city for 30 days. It does include travel to and from the airport.
  • Ticket to and from the airport (5,50€+5,50€= 11€)

Since t-casual does not include the airport, and in case you want to go sightseeing in Barcelona, we usually recommend T-usual to visitors.
