HOW TO MOVE IN BARCELONA
If you will be some days in Barcelona, I’ll recommend you to find or buy a map of the
city and decide where do you want to go. It’s a big city so if you have marked all the
places you would like to visit, you can see the easiest way to go there and the best order
to visit them.
If you like walking, you can visit a lot of places using just a few times metro, if not,
look for the names and lines of metro you need. (For tourism is better metro than bus).
BUS
As you can imagine there are a lot of bus lines. In this web site you can find which line
do you need and how to get to your destination. It’s in catalan, sorry.

METRO
There are a lot of lines too but it is easier to show you the map. To use it (it’s the same
for the bus) you can buy a ticket just for a trip, a ticket for some days or a T10. The
second one is ok if you plan to use a lot the metro. If you don’t, use the T10. It costs
8’25€ and it is for 10 trips. It’s important to know that if you change the metro line
without leaving the exit control, it’s free. If you leave the exit control or change the
transport before 1:15h it is free to. So, for example, if you need to use metro, bus and
tram to get to your destination, it will be just 1 trip if it doesn’t exceed the time.
