Barcelona Transport

The transport system throughout Spain is very good, and coming from England I find it cheaper and so much more efficient in comparison. Here's a guide to getting around Barcelona.

Transport symbolsThe system allows you to buy a variety of tickets which cover all forms of transport in the city: Metro, Bus, Tram, and Train (Renfe and Ferrocarrils).

Barcelona metro

 

Purchase tickets at any Metro station, lottery shops and newsagent kiosks.

Tickets

There are six zones, but zone 1 covers pretty much all of the city and includes the airport.
