Discover Barcelona conveniently and cheaply with the official City Card
In addition to the official Barcelona Card, there are several City Passes for Barcelona that already include the top attractions and hop-on hop-off buses. Our recommendation is the Barcelona City Pass.
The Barcelona Card is the official tourist card of the city of Barcelona, available for 3, 4 or 5 days. How it works is explained in this section:
The Barcelona Card is available online (with a discount) or on site in Barcelona. When buying online, you select the date and the desired validity (3, 4 or 5 days) and pay in advance.
After purchasing online, you will receive a voucher by email. You can print this out or exchange it digitally for the physical card in Barcelona.
With the voucher you can pick up the card at an official tourist information office, e.g. at Barcelona Airport (T1/T2) or in the city center (e.g. Plaça de Catalunya).
The card is activated the first time it is used. The validity period (72, 96 or 120 hours) begins at this point. The first use determines the starting time.
The Barcelona Card gives you free entry to over 25 museums and sights. Simply show it at the entrance or at the ticket office.
During its validity period, the card also serves as a ticket for bus, metro and streetcar - including airport connections. It is not transferable and is valid per person.
The Barcelona Card gives visitors free entry to 25 museums and free access to public transport, including the metro and train to the airport.
In addition, there are more than 70 discounts for other cultural attractions, guided tours, leisure activities, entertainment venues and services. Here is a selection of the most important highlights of the card:
