Which Barcelona Bus Turístic Ticket may you purchase?
On the Internet you may buy tickets for 1 or 2 consecutive days, for
Adults and Children (between 4-12 years of age). These tickets allow
you to get on and off the Barcelona Bus Turístic as many times
as you wish. If you choose the 2 consecutive days ticket, you win both
in terms of price and convenience: you won’t feel pressured to
see it all in only one single day!
What is the schedule for the Barcelona Bus Turístic?
How often does it run?
The first buses pass by the majority of the stops between 9:00 and 9:30
in the morning. The last buses of North and South routes leave from the Plaça
de Catalunya at 7:00 pm during the winter schedule (from November to
March) and at 8:00 pm during the summer season (from April to October),
making a complete tour at all the different stops. North and South tours take approximately two hours and Forum tour takes about 40 minutes. The bus runs daily all year round, except for the 25th of
December and New Year’s Day.
The time between buses varies between a minimum of 6 minutes and a maximum
of 20 minutes during the season.
Does the purchase of a ticket guarantee me a seat on the bus?
The tickets do not match numbered seats. For this reason, having a seat
will depend on the occupancy of each bus at a given moment. However,
please remember that the next bus is only moments away, should you find
the first one full.
What about the validity of the tickets?
Are they good for a specific date?
The Barcelona Bus Turístic is in service all days of the year,
with the exception of the 25th of December and New Year’s Day.
For this reason, please keep these two dates in mind, in the event that
you are considering a ticket for 2 consecutive days. If you buy your tickets in advance, take into account that they are only valid until 31st December.
Prices of Barcelona Bus Turístic Tickets
The tickets prices are the officially established tariffs valid for
each year, without any additional cost and include the IVA and AOV taxes.
Is it more expensive to buy via Internet?
The prices of the Barcelona Bus Turístic Tickets are the same
as those offered at the customary sales outlets of TMB.
In the case of on-line sales, the only costs added are those for mailing
via Certified Mail (3€ for each mailing); it's the safest way to
guarantee that your Barcelona Bus Turístic ticket reach you directly.
Very little indeed, when you take into account the security and convenience
of being able to buy your tickets on the Internet, at all hours of the
day.

information and credit card data. In addition, we protect your privacy
