Differences Between Tourist Travel Pass and The Barcelona Card?
Page Content
Q: I am planning a trip for 14 persons to Barcelona this November. We want to buy the Tourist Travel Pass. Regarding this, I have two questions. - Is the 3 Day Tourist Travel Pass also valid for the train connection between Barcelona Airport and the city centre? And - where exactly can we buy the card?
A: The Barcelona tourist travel pass is a multi-day travel card that you can purchase to travel on all public transport in Barcelona for several days (2, 3, 4 or 5 day option). You can also purchase the Barcelona Travel Pass online before starting your trip or at the tourist information spots in town or at the airport. If you take the train from the Barcelona airport El Prat into town, you can also purchase the tourist travel pass from the tourist information desk inside the arrivals building or purchase the ticket when arriving at the train departure at the machines or the ticket counter. You can then use the travel card on the RENFE train from the airport to the town centre or on the metro from Barcelona airport. You can also buy the travel passes at any ticket vending machine or counter at any Metro station.
There are no discounted versions of the tourist transport cards i.e. no discounts for seniors or for travellers with a disability. However children under the age of 4 years travel for free and do not need the travel cards.
