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.

Easy, everything was working acc. to instruction. hola barcelona card picked up at tourist information point at the airport.
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.
View original review in German
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.
View original review in German
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

Great: the frequency of the Aerobus departures, the comfort on the bus with plenty of storage space for luggage, the relevant stops, the option to buy tickets online as well as on the spot. Thank you very much!

Quick and simple process to make the purchase prior to my arrival in Barcelona and the bus service itself was superb. I highly recommend it for anyone needing to get from the airport to the Placa Catalunya area without any hassle.
Swift and easily accessible service. However the return at plaza Espagna was more complicated as no clear indication on where bus is EFFECTIVELY leaving.
Buses very easy to find, both out of the airport and in town. Little waiting between buses. Clean and fast. You can pick up your ticket at the last minute (bus or kiosk), but it's best to buy a round-trip ticket on the Internet. You save on price and peace of mind. In short, ideal!

. ticket bought online, signage at the airport great...arrived downstairs and 5 minutes later we were off. Luggage easy to stow. Really pleasant.
View original review in German
The station has very dirty toilets. Also, the announcement of the train's arrival is very quick. The train toilet was filthy and had no water. The time it takes to board and store luggage is very fast and there is no help to store it in the appropriate place. There should be an indication of which seat numbers are in each carriage or the carriage number on the ticket. I bought business class and there was only the number 2 on the entrance door of the carriage. This is difficult for anyone who has never traveled by train.

I didn't have to wait too long for the aerobus. The journey went well overall. However, it was very hot in the bus (no air conditioning) and there was no Wi-Fi. The driver had a good drive (pace) however, every bump or turn was felt so the journey was not very pleasant.

Friendly smile to greet us. Clean bus Good luggage space Frequent buses even after mid ght Flight delay did not effect our tickets just pick up the next bus when you arrive Comfortable seating
Both at the airport and in the city, the stops are immediate and easy to find! We didn't wait 5 minutes for either transfer! Everything worked great with online tickets! Buses are fast, clean and there is enough space for luggage! There's no quicker way to get into the city - top 👍!

The easiest transport in Europe, everything is always as it should be and the bus drivers are always in the mood to answer questions, increase their salary!😎
On the website it is not explained exactly where you need to take the bus. You should make either a map with an arrow or put an indicative photograph. Because when I got to the square there were no exact directions to the place. Fortunately, I saw the bus going by and took the reverse route. In the evening with darkness, traffic of other buses and cars, chaos of people, suitcases to drag, it is not very practical to turn around looking for the right stop. thank you.

It was easy to book and good value for money. It would be helpful if there was an option to save the ticket to files or add to wallet on phone rather than only being able to access via the app on the return journey the ticket didn't show on the app so had to get into it via my email or type in my booking reference.
We did not have to wait at the airport for the bus, but..... Our hotel was not far from placa catalunya so we had to ride along until the final stop. 1 stop before placa catalunya we were all put off the bus by the driver, he didn't ride any further because too busy. 🙈 This can only happen in Soanje, right?

Finding the airbus was easy. Get on board and you can find free wifi and usb charging outlet. The screen shows the route and the next stop, allowing you to get your bearings. The headout site provided me with all the information. i don't give it the highest rating because at the time of booking it makes the PDF with the tickets searchable only if you download the app. Contacting support via chat provided me with the file right away. It would be convenient to be able to put it on wallet automatically

Our trip into the city centre was very quick. A sign at the bottom of the last set of stairs indicating a left turn to see the buses would be good.
The bus station is close to our accommodation it is big and clean the staff are nice and easy to book. Convenient transfer to airport .
My experience with the Aerobus was super comfortable. The buses come every 5 minutes, so if you miss one, you never have to wait long. On board, you can easily store your suitcase in special racks, which makes the ride very relaxing. Another plus is that you can follow exactly what the next stop is via the screen, which is very convenient. You can also charge your phone during the ride and free Wi-Fi is available. All in all, a very good and convenient service that I definitely recommend!

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.
