Barcelona Family Card

Barcelona has a family-friendly, convenient way to see the city. The Barcelona Card and the Barcelona Card Family both include unlimited public transport, plus free admission and discounts at a range of attractions.

The Barcelona Card and Family Card: Two Cards, One Difference

Barcelona has two official city cards: the Barcelona Card and the Barcelona Card Family. They work in the same way. Both give you unlimited metro, bus, tram and train travel (including to the airport), free entry to some places and discounts on lots of others.

The Barcelona Card focuses on museums, while the Barcelona Card Family includes attractions such as the Aquarium, Zoo and Tibidabo.

Quick tips

Good to know

  • Buy online, collect on arrival: Booking ahead is easier (and 10% cheaper for the Barcelona Card). Then pick up your cards at the airport or a tourist information point when you arrive.

  • Transport included: Both cards include unlimited metro, bus, tram and train travel, including to and from the airport.

  • One card each: Cards are personal, so every adult and every child aged 4 to 12 needs their own.

  • One visit per attraction: Free entry is one visit per person at each attraction. Transport is unlimited.

  • Children: Child cards are for ages 4 to 12. From 13, children need an adult card, and under-4s go free.

  • Starting the card: It starts the first time you use it and runs for consecutive hours, so start it in the morning.

  • Cancelling: Both cards have free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
