What Does the Barcelona Family Card Include?

The Barcelona Family Card combines entry to family attractions, including the Aquarium, Zoo and Tibidabo, with unlimited public transport for 3, 4 or 5 days. Here’s what it includes, what it costs, where to buy it and how to work out whether it saves you money.

What’s included

The Barcelona Family Card includes free entry to ten family attractions and discounts at seven more, plus unlimited metro, bus, tram and train travel, including the airport metro. It is available for 3, 4 or 5 days.

We recommend it if you plan to visit four or more of the family attractions in the free list, including at least two of the Zoo, the Aquarium and Tibidabo.

Price

A 3-day card costs €112 for adults and €72 for children. 4-day and 5-day cards are also available.

Child cards are for ages 4 to 12. Under-4s don’t need a card: they travel free on public transport, and their entry to each attraction depends on that attraction’s own admission policy.

Where to buy and how to use your card

1Choose the duration and the number of adults and children.
2Collect your physical cards in Barcelona. Collection points include airport tourist information offices and Plaça de Catalunya. Your booking confirmation lists locations and opening hours.
3Show your card at each attraction’s ticket desk for included entry or the applicable discount.

Check reservation requirements and opening dates before visiting, particularly for Tibidabo. Follow the instructions supplied with your card for activation and validity.

Is it worth it?

Add up the tickets you plan to buy and compare the total with the card price. For one adult over 3 days: Zoo from €20.70, Aquarium €29, Tibidabo €39 and about €25 for public transport (a T-casual 10-trip ticket plus two airport metro tickets). That comes to around €114, against €112 for the 3-day adult card. Each extra attraction on the free list, such as Poble Espanyol or the Golondrinas boat trip, adds to the saving. Do the same sum for each child using child prices.
