Dirt Cheap Barcelona

Although much of what you will want to see in Barcelona is accessible by foot, there will be times when you need to get around by public transportation. The best option then, is the integrated 10 trip bus/metro pass. It costs 7.90 euro and can be purchased at any metro station. It’s good until they change the prices and can be shared, unlike the 1, 2, or 3 day passes which are also a good value if you’re planning traveling heavily by bus or metro. Both the metro and bus system cover all of Barcelona, and you’ll find a relatively easy to read map of the bus routes and most stops. The metro and bus system both stop at midnight, although there is a night-bus system, which, although reduced in terms of coverage, can still get you home at the end of the night.

When traveling by metro, look out for your stop and it’s up to you to push turn the handle to open the door, otherwise you’re staying on the train! Also, the buses won’t automatically stop since most stops are serviced by multiple buses, so again, it’s up to you to be attentive and flag the driver down.
