Barcelona City Tour

You are the type of traveller who prefer's to explore a city at your own pace? But you do not want to miss out on the comfort of getting comfortably to all places and also getting some background information?

In this case the red open double deckers will be the perfect way to get to know Barcelona!

On two different routes (both valid with the same ticket, as often as you want!) the open double deckers buses circle through the centre of Barcelona. Catch the sun and a slight breeze on the upper deck while the city passes by. In summer, it is advisable to bring sun protection if you will sit on op for a long time. And in case of a little rain (yes, very occasionally it even rains in Barcelona) there is a sliding roof to keep you dry.

During the ride you can sit back and relax and listen to the audio-guide, that will tell you in ten different languages about the sights and attractions on the way.

Both of the routes take about 2 hours to complete, if you decide to stay on the bus without getting off. So after visiting a couple of attractions this is a great way to recharge your batteries.

There are one- and two-day tickets available. The secnd day is highly discounted, so it will probably be worth to get it even if you are only planning to use the buses for another couple of hours.

For families with children in a buggy, pram or stroller, as well as people that have to use a wheel chair, you can access the buses and leave them on the lower deck. If you can walk the stairs to the upper deck you can aslo take a seat there.

When getting your ticket or when exchanging your discounted online voucher on the bus you will receive a headset, a map and a discount booklet to save in the attractions along the way!
