City Passes & Travel Cards

Barcelona has three main options for visitors: a city card that combines transport and attractions, an unlimited travel card, and the T-mobilitat card for pay-as-you-go journeys. Here’s how they compare.

Which Pass Suits Your Family?

Barcelona Card Family

Unlimited metro, bus, tram and train travel, including to the airport, plus attractions such as the Aquarium, Zoo and Tibidabo, with free entry at some and discounts at others. It runs for 3 to 5 days. It’s a physical card that you show at each attraction’s ticket desk. Child cards are for ages 4 to 12, and under-4s go free. From €72.

Hola Barcelona Travel Card

Unlimited metro, bus, tram and train travel for 1 to 5 days, including the airport metro. There’s no child price: everyone aged 4 and over needs their own card, and under-4s travel free. 5% off when you buy online.

T-mobilitat

Barcelona’s rechargeable travel card for the metro, buses, trams and local trains. Buy the card for €1 at any metro station ticket machine, or use the TMB app on your phone, then load a ticket onto it: the T-casual (10 journeys for one person, €13 in zone 1) or the T-familiar (8 journeys in 30 days, shared by the whole family, €11.50 in zone 1). Under-4s travel free. The airport metro stations need a separate ticket.

Which one to choose

  • Transport plus several paid attractions: the Barcelona Card Family.

  • Several journeys a day, or the airport metro: the Hola Barcelona Travel Card.

  • Only a few journeys: the T-mobilitat with a T-familiar or T-casual.

Prices and inclusions can change. Check the full details before booking.
