BarcelonaHola Barcelona Travel Card

Visiting Barcelona? The Hola Barcelona Travel Card offers unlimited access to the city's public transportation system, including metro, buses, trams, and trains, for consecutive periods of 2, 3, 4, or 5 days. And guess, what? Unlike regular tickets or the T-Casual pass, you also get direct access to and from the airport, saving you the €11 round-trip airport fare! This pass simplifies your travel, allowing you to explore Barcelona without the hassle of purchasing individual tickets!

Do you really need a Barcelona travel card?

Valid question! We’d absolutely recommend considering a Barcelona travel card especially if you’re a tourist who doesn’t want to overspend on transportation or struggle with complex ticket options. Barcelona aims for 65% of trips via public transport, yet tourists face challenges navigating the city's transport system. If you’re dealing with confusing ticket types, costly single rides, or language barriers at the ticket machines, the Hola Barcelona Travel Card can make your trip simpler, smoother, and much more affordable.

Confusing ticket options and overpaying

You’ll notice Barcelona’s ticket options range from single rides to multi-day passes, making it tricky to figure out what’s best for multiple daily trips. Buying single tickets for each ride can quickly become expensive if you’re hopping between landmarks. The Hola Barcelona Travel Card is a simple solution, offering unlimited travel on metro, buses, and trams for 2-5 days. If you’re hitting museums too, the Barcelona All-Inclusive Card bundles access to top attractions and covers all public transport, which can be a real money-saver.

Airport transfer confusion

Standard tickets don’t always include the airport metro line, which can catch you off guard right after landing. Having to buy a separate airport ticket can be a hassle and an extra cost. The Hola Barcelona Travel Card includes metro access from El Prat Airport, so you’re covered right from arrival. Or, if you only need direct airport-city transport, the Aerobus Ticket provides a reliable, 35-minute ride with convenient stops around the city center.

Ticket validation and fines

It’s easy to overlook validating your ticket before each journey, but in Barcelona, this can lead to fines if there’s a random inspection. With the Hola Barcelona Travel Card, you simply swipe each time—no worries about revalidating or getting fined. For a card that covers museums and attractions as well, the Turbopass Barcelona City Card works similarly, letting you use public transport without needing separate validations.

Language barriers at ticket machines

Ticket machines aren’t always user-friendly, especially when they’re mostly in Spanish. Mistakes here can lead to wrong ticket types or wasted money. Pre-purchasing the Hola Barcelona Travel Card or Barcelona All-Inclusive Card online solves this, allowing easy pickup at any metro station with a code. If you need only airport transfers, Aerobus Ticket can also be booked in advance, ensuring a smooth start.

Zone confusion

Barcelona’s multiple transport zones are confusing, and if you travel outside of your ticket’s coverage, you may face unexpected costs or fines. The Hola Barcelona Travel Card simplifies this by covering all of Zone 1, where most major sights are located. The Barcelona All-Inclusive Card is also a safe choice, especially if you’re sightseeing—it includes transport within central zones and grants access to over 25 museums and attractions.

High costs with single tickets

If you’re planning to explore all day, single tickets add up quickly and can end up being quite expensive. The Hola Barcelona Travel Card offers unlimited travel, making it far more cost-effective for travelers hopping around frequently. Alternatively, the Turbopass Barcelona City Card covers public transport plus a range of city experiences and guided tours, allowing you to see the city without breaking the bank.

Why choose the Hola Barcelona Travel Card?

  • Effortless travel: Activate your card upon first use and enjoy seamless travel across various modes of transport without the need for multiple tickets. Just one swipe and you’re set—no need to search for spare change or buy new tickets each time.
  • Save more, stress less: A single metro or bus trip in Barcelona costs around €2.40. If you’re planning to visit multiple sights daily, those costs add up fast. The Hola Barcelona Travel Card can save you up to 45% on transportation, giving you more room in your budget for the experiences that matter.
  • Flexible duration options: Choose from 2, 3, 4, or 5-day passes to match your travel itinerary, with each pass valid for 90 days from the date of purchase until the last day of February of the following year. Each pass also offers consecutive-day access, so whether you’re here for a short visit or an extended trip, you can explore Barcelona at your own pace.
  • Start saving from the airport: Why spend up to €35 on a taxi from the airport when your Hola Barcelona Travel Card lets you hop on the metro straight to the city center? Use it the moment you land and avoid the hassle of pricey airport transfers. The card covers metro journeys between Barcelona-El Prat Airport and the city center.
  • Easy to redeem and ready to use: After purchasing, you’ll receive a voucher code via email. Head to any metro station vending machine or Tourist Information Office, enter your code, and collect your card. Swipe at your first entry, and the card activates—no delays, no fuss.
  • Comprehensive coverage: Access a wide range of public transport services, including metro lines, buses (TMB), urban railway (FGC, Zone 1), trams, and the Montjuïc funicular, facilitating convenient travel throughout the city.

Tips for getting around Barcelona with the Hola Barcelona Travel Card

  • Night buses aren’t included: The Hola Barcelona Travel Card doesn’t cover night buses, which run during late hours and have line numbers starting with an “N.”
  • Valid for consecutive hours, not days: The card works on a 48, 72, 96, or 120-hour basis, starting from your first use. So, if you start using a 48-hour card at 4pm, it will stay active until 4pm two days later.
  • Avoid peak event times if you can: Barcelona is a hotspot for music festivals like Primavera Sound and Sonar, plus major events like the Mobile World Congress. Unless you’re here for those, you may want to steer clear of these dates, as hotel rates soar and the city gets crowded.
  • Beyond La Rambla: While La Rambla is famous, it’s often packed with tourists. For a more local feel, stroll down the Rambla del Raval, known for its Botero cat sculpture, or the Rambla del Poblenou, which stretches from Diagonal to the beach, offering a more laid-back vibe.
  • Watch out for pickpockets: Like any bustling city, Barcelona has its share of pickpockets, especially on the metro or in crowded areas like La Rambla. Keep your belongings close, tuck away your phone when not in use, and avoid leaving it on the table at cafes.
  • Take advantage of free museum hours: Many Barcelona museums offer free entry on certain days. For example, the Picasso Museum is free on the first Sunday of each month and Thursday evenings. The Barcelona Cathedral (not to be confused with the Sagrada Familia) is free to visit between 8:30am and 12:30pm, and again from 5:45pm to 7:30pm. Note that hours may vary by day.
  • Efficient public transport: Navigating Barcelona is simple with its efficient public transport system. The metro and buses make it easy to reach popular spots, and connections to major train and bus stations mean you’re all set for day trips beyond the city.
  • “HolaBCN!” and “Hola Barcelona Travel Card”: You might see this card referred to as “HolaBCN!,” “Hola Barcelona,” or “Hola Barcelona Travel Card.” Until 2019, it was called “HolaBCN!”—a name many still recognize. The only change now is the name; everything else about the card’s benefits remains the same. So, if you spot any of these names, rest assured they all mean the same thing.
