Bus Turístic

Hop on, hop off

Bus Turístic

The open air double decker Bus Turístic, run by the city's TMB public transport board, is an easy way to get around Barcelona's main attractions.

There are three routes, all valid with the same ticket, with audio guides in 10 different languages and over €180 of discounts to sights. Buses all have free Wifi on board and run from 9am to 7pm.

The red route takes in Montjuïc, the Passeig de Gràcia, Plaça de Catalunya, Via Laietana, and the seafront from the Port Olímpic to the World Trade Center.

The blue route takes in the Sagrada Família, Passeig de Gràcia, Plaça de Catalunya, Camp Nou, Pedralbes, Sarriá, the Tibidabo Tramvia Blau, Park Guëll and Gràcia

The green route (Apr-Sept only) takes in Barcelona's beaches, from the Port Olímpic, the beaches, Poble Nou and the Fòrum.

Purchase tickets on the bus, although they are cheaper online: 24 hours for €29.70 (seniors 65 and over €25.20, ages 4-12 €16.20 on the bus), from any TMB office. See the website for night or Christmas tours.
