The Hola Barcelona Travel Card provides unrestricted access to the city's comprehensive public transport network, including metros, buses, trams, and regional trains within Zone 1. It connects major attractions like La Sagrada Família, Park Güell, and Montjuïc, ensuring easy navigation throughout the city.
The metro is the fastest and most efficient way to explore Barcelona’s key attractions, such as Casa Batlló, La Sagrada Família, and Camp Nou. With 12 color-coded lines connecting the city, it runs from 5am to midnight on weekdays, with extended hours on weekends.
Barcelona’s buses complement the metro by connecting areas not covered by subway lines. They’re particularly useful for reaching neighborhoods and attractions such as Tibidabo and Park Güell. Buses run frequently during the day, but night buses are not included in the Hola Barcelona Travel Card.
The tram network is ideal for short, scenic routes in the city and suburban areas. Lines like Trambaix and Trambesòs connect quieter neighborhoods, providing a relaxed travel option.
The Montjuïc Funicular is included in the card, offering a convenient way to reach Montjuïc Hill, home to attractions like Montjuïc Castle and the Magic Fountain.
Trains operated by RENFE and FGC (Zone 1) are part of the integrated transport network, making it easy to travel within the city and to nearby destinations such as Castelldefels Beach.
Yes, the Hola Barcelona Travel Card covers both your arrival and departure trips via the airport metro (L9 Sud) or the airport train (RENFE R2). Simply swipe your card at the turnstiles—no additional tickets are needed. For late-night flights, check the metro and train schedules as the last rides are around midnight.
Unfortunately, lost cards cannot be replaced, as the pass is non-transferable and linked to your unique voucher code. To avoid this situation, keep your card secure and store your voucher code separately—it cannot be reissued once redeemed.
