Q: What is the Zone 1 area? Do you have a map of the Area?

A: There are 6  transport zones in Barcelona. The zones are related to transport distances from the city centre. Zone 1 area encompases the very centre of the city. The zone numbers increase as you move further out from the centre. Zone 6 is on the suburbs of the city. The zoning system works in a similar way to the zone system used for the London underground. The zone system is used to work out the prices of transport tickets. The Zone 1 area is the main area where the tourist attractions are and accounts for most of the area where tourists spend their time.
