Barcelona airport bus is very practical. Booking tickets without having to queue is very helpful. Aquarium and Casa Batllo with the gold card were such great experiences. Simple app and good inspiration on the spot about offers.

Very easy to buy online and pick up at airport in Barcelona. Super easy traveling this way with public transport in the center. From airport fine with metro and get off in center Barcelona.

It was easy to order on the website, and thanks to the app, I always had my transport card with me. Nonetheless, when we arrived at Barcelona airport, we asked for a physical card for the transport to make things easier.

Not having to think about it, just driving - no matter how often and no matter where. That really enriched my stay in Barcelona.

The exchange of the purchase confirmation for tickets at the airport was great. Comprehensive information at the stand and super nice lady at the counter on site.

Finding the counter in Terminal 1 was not easy. There was no description of the floor and location of the terminal.

Buying the ticket was easy, we were able to make very good use of the three-day transport ticket for sightseeing. I recommend it to everyone.

The HolaCard is a great thing. However, it is unfortunate that you can only pick it up at an information stand. There is still room for improvement here.

The total freedom to move around Barcelona without any limitations, most of the tourist attractions can be reached by public transport, which are very good.

When I purchased the Hola Barcelona cards, I went to read the reviews and was a little concerned xbecause so many people complained that they were not able to pick up the cards right away. In fact on the website it is reported to go to the machines at the Airport, enter the Qcode etc.... I recommend you follow our advice: We simply looked for the tourist information office, which you will find near the final gate from which you exit the airport(I attach photo). So as soon as you get on the plane head for the exit, without looking around for who knows what. When you arrive at this info point (there is a statue of a horse in front of it, you can't miss it), hand over the Hola Barcelona card(s) purchase sheet and the employee will issue the cards to you on the fly. All very simple. With these you will be able to get around, on practically any means, except the Aerobus that goes from the airport to the center (you don't need it because a few hundred meters away you will find the metro... xwhy pay for the bus!:bad_shrug:), and the cable car (which we didn't take x time. Enjoy Barcelona, it's beautiful!!! 💯

Actually a great offer, but I give it a 7/10 because it's extremely complicated to convert the voucher into real tickets. It must be easier! Once you have it - easy going.
View original review in German
It was a very good decision to book this card. Only the issuing process should be improved. You couldn't collect it from the machine. Otherwise everything was great.

We got to our destinations quickly and without complications. Unfortunately, the cable cars over the harbor and up Montjuic are not included.

Once we got our tickets it was no problem using them but it was very difficult finding the place to trade our voucher for the tickets. Your instructions to add the voucher number into aTMB machine wasn't even possible. You should not suggest that. Instead give very clear directions and address to the office where you can exchange the voucher.
Unfortunately, according to your description, we were unable to retrieve the tickets from the machines at the airport! Other guests were also at a loss! Finally after pressing the help button we were sent to the tourist information desk in the arrivals hall! This must be written more clearly, we would have saved ourselves 45 minutes of trouble! We had not received a ticket voucher code and nobody from Headout was available. We will not book this with you again !!!

Perfect for travel by bus or metro. What's more, you can get there and back from the airport!

Booking the ticket was very easy, using it was intuitive, fast and reliable, and it was easy to travel around Barcelona.

The card itself is great, if you have it. You buy the card online and then have to go to a tourist information office to get the card printed out. Unfortunately a bit daft. I would like to have the card directly when I book it online.

The Hola Barcelona card is highly recommended for flexible travel on public transport. Before taking the metro, you have to insert the card to get to the stop. It worked perfectly.

Everything worked very well. With the Barcelona Card for local public transport, you can get around easily in Zone 1. Outside of this, it costs extra money, but overall it was fine. 👏👍😁

We had 2 x travel cards for 96 hours each, although we were only in Barcelona for 3.5 days, and really used the public transport extensively. Very practical, and the price/performance ratio is also right!

Over all the card was worth its value. However, unclear information on the pick-up site was very inconvenient, maybe going to digital would be better suited or at least make it an option. Also, many locations were overcrowded and not worth waiting in line to visit. perhaps clustering sites that can be visited within walking distance would assist visitors. Again, I did receive what I paid for, and under better circumstances, I believe I could have gained more from the pass.
Great deal. I used the transportation from airport and back and in the city of course, two museum which have been really interesting so I think it's a good option to tour the city. Finding the office in the airport was easy as well. Recommended.
In fact, the Barcelona Card gives me a 10% discount on most tickets. But if I buy online, I get the same 10% discount without needing the Barcelona Card. Some (a few) tickets were given to me for free as a use of the Barcelona Card, but the price I paid didn't justify it. I was disappointed.

The Barcelona all-inclusive pass is really practical, with unlimited use of public transport, free access to certain museums and discounts for others. It was top-notch, and I recommend it!
View original review in French
Well all in all, our staybin Barcelona was excellent. I Loved everything in it. Specially the Beach. Will definitely visit again.
The Barcelona card was an excellent purchase. We mainly used it to access public transportation. We did visit the MOCA and Picasso Museum which were both free with the card and wonderful. It was a nice bonus that both had A/C and were a nice midday escape from the heat. We were only there for two days which limited what we could see. When we come back I will be purchasing the card again!
Saved a lot of travel costs and visited many museums for free. We wouldn't have treated ourselves to so many. The only downside is that you can only pick up tickets at the airport until 8.30 p.m. We didn't make it and paid €50 for a cab

Die Karte hat ca. 24€ an Eintrittsgebühren gespart in 2 Tagen! Auch jkonnte man in der Miro Foundation die Warteschlange skippen. Bin sehr zufrieden.
Easy access to ouboic transports which could take us to anywhere in the city of Barcelona. Coukdn't use it in museaums just because I didn't try but the discounts at main attractions workes perfectly. Generaly it is a good worth for money! Public transports are easy to use and very well organized in Barcelona!
A wonderful city! Thanks to the subway connection, we were able to see soooo much of the city in 4 days! You can get to all the places worth seeing in the city very quickly! The mix of big city and beach is just great. Great food and the people are incredibly nice!

Die reibungslose Nutzung der Karte. Leider war es schwer zu erkennen, welche öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln man mit der angeschlossenen Fahrkarte benutzen darf. Ansonsten sehr zu empfehlen!
Absolutely loved the pass. I bought the 72-hour pass and visited about 7-8 spots all by using metro and buses. Totally worth it and and I wished I had more time in Barcelona.
Everything was amazing. Barcelona is vonderfull town, and having transoirtation card with free access was halpfull. I recomended to have this combination.
Loved the public transport access and entry to key museums.
With a single ticket we had all means of transportation at our disposal

The "passport" is exactly as described and works perfectly. No reservation is needed even for temporary ones. For each passport, it is possible to have a "guest" person (paying his or her own fee) skip the line with you. You can pick it up at each of the scheduled museums.

The Picasso museum was a highlight of our visit to Barcelona. We also visited the modern art museum. We love that the passport is good for a year. There was a bit of a hiccup picking up the pasees as my husband was redirected to another location. Might want to correct that.
It was great to be able to skip the lines, particularly at the Picasso Museum. My trip coincided with the blockbuster Miro/Picasso show that appears at both the Picasso Museum and Miro Foundation so having those 2 museums as part of the pass was important. Otherwise I explored a number of museums I wouldn't necessarily have gone to. I loved the National Art Museum of Catalonia which has an incredible collection of church frescoes saved from across small villages in the Pyrenees as well as an interesting modern art collection. I was a bit disappointed by the MACBA but saw a great AI exhibit at the neighboring CCIB that I would normally never have thought to visit.
Great and fast entry I went on Friday it's free anyways I lost my artiticket the Front lady at Picasso gave me a hard time want me to downtown office to get a replacement??? I just ignored her moved in to next lady, she gave me a ticket I went right in

We really loved so much the experience. I really think you could explain better all the informations in your app and PDF ticket. For exemple: The informations about which events/access can be enter by QR CODE or only by printed vouchers/cards are really confused. Many tourits became confused. The Aerobus, "Monbus" enterprise, ARE NOT PUBLIC TRANSPORT! As i said, i really didn't understand your explanations and i lost a little time in my arrival in Barcelona.
In Room 1 of MACBA Barcelona, you will find art forms from the first few decades of the 20th century. The artists experimented with materials and different forms during this time and everyone valued originality a lot. The main trend that can be seen during this time is the creation of utopian and universal artistic languages with the help of an analytical approach.
If you wish to see the works from the time of the Spanish Civil War, then check out room 2 at MACBA. Here, you can see the works of artists and filmmakers where they put forth their political ideologies through aesthetical means. Currently, Pere Portabella’s Aidez l’Espagne is on display in this exhibition room.
These exhibition rooms display the works generated after the end of the Second World War and the Spanish Civil War. Artists used abstract geometry and concrete art in their works to understand the nature of humanity after so much war and violence. There are several works displayed in this exhibition room at MACBA including Joan Miro’s Oiseau, Femme, Tete, etc.
This exhibition room displays pop art and psychedelia that emerged after the counterculture revolution of the 1960s. Fluttering Hearts by Marcel Duchamp, Atomic Kiss by Joan Rabascall, Instant City by Roberto Mardones, etc. are a few highlights of this exhibition.
In this room, visitors can examine the art from the sixties and seventies when Minimalism was prominent among the artists. Check out artworks such as Condensation Cube by Hans Haacke, Mass Media by Joan Rabascall, The Beatles by Richard Hamilton, and more in this MACBA exhibition room.
During the late sixties and seventies, the era of radical feminism and feminist activism emerged. So, these exhibition rooms focus on the artworks by women artists who used the objectification of women in their art and mass media to convey the message.
Check out the works from the eighties when artists focused their art in the streets or beyond the studios. Graffitis, comics, posters, etc. were popular artworks of this time. Also, the pop culture and celebrity cult resulted in the creation of new art forms such as music video, MTV, fanzines, and more.
Ignassi Aballi is a famous Spanish artist whose known for his work since the eighties. In his early works, one can see minimal activity and minuscule modifications. Later, he focused on creating fiction as work and locating his work. His work has been shown at several museums such as the Ikon Gallery, Drawing Center, ZKM, and more. At MACBA, you can find around 9 of his works including Gran Error, Vitrines CMYK, Pols, Enderroc, and so on.
One of the most popular representative artists of the second half of the 20th century, Jean-Michel Basquiat’s works can also be found at MACBA. He is famous for creating graffiti in New York City in the seventies along with Al Diaz. Over the years, he has painted large canvasses, postcards, doors, windows, clothes, and more. A few of his famous works that you can find at MACBA Barcelona are Sterno, King Zulu, and 1986 Self-Portrait.
Another major artist of the 20th century, Marcel Broodthaers has published several poems, worked as a journalist, made a film, and so much more. He even produced an extensive collection of film, graphics, and text using visual objects such as photographs, objects, and collages. Several of his works can be found at MACBA including a few famous ones such as Figures of Wax (Jeremy Bentham), Atlas, Garniture Symbolique, and so on.
Gego is a Jewish artist who was forced to leave Germany in 1939 and lived in Venezuela ever since. She started creating art by 1953 after encouragement by her painter companion, Gerd Leufert. Gego has traveled extensively in the United States and Europe and lived for two years in New York. During this time, her work was collected by the Public Library of New York, and MoMA. Currently, MACBA holds several of her works including Tejedura 91/31, Tejedura 91/37, Tejedura 90/34, etc.
Eduardo Chillida pursued drawing and sculpture in 1947 and while his earlier works used stone, he incorporated iron later on in his work too. His work focuses on three main ideas: space, the limit, and the void. He became internationally recognized after his first major exhibition at Galerie Maeght in Paris in 1956. At MACBA Museum Barcelona, you can admire several of his works such as Iru Burni, Down-Town, Barcelona, Mural G-333, and more.
A unique artist, Dona Garcia’s work depends on audience participation. The audience is asked to take a side on an ethical issue, analyze the questions, and then reflect on it as they view the artworks in the exhibitions. MACBA Museum currently displays three of his famous artworks – El Reino, The Joycean Society, and Exhausted Books.
Rafael Tous Collection of Conceptual Art was donated to MACBA a year ago. Built by Rafael Tous, this collection includes conceptual art made using diverse practices by a group of artists. It shows how a generation chose to participate in exhibitions held in cultural spaces instead of the more conventional art venues. Through this exhibition, you discover the experimental practices of the 1970s and 1980s in Catalonia including socio-political critique, action art, interaction with nature, and much more.
The first exhibition in a new series of projects called Panorama, Notes for an Eye Fire primarily focuses on the artistic and aesthetic practices in and around Barcelona. It is a collection of specially commissioned works including painting, video installation, photography, sculpture, works on paper, and more. These works showcase concerns and leitmotifs risen out of studio visits and communication with the art community which includes the city’s self-image, gender dissidence, ideas of belonging and reparation, relationship with nonhuman life, and so on.
This is an expanded exhibition that uses graphics, texts, and audio publications to address the climate crisis and how to manage the resources. In this exhibition, you see cassettes, vinyls, posters, essays, sound experiences, and more that will lead you to think about ways to exist on this planet by forming an ecofeminist and ecosocial alliance.
