City of Barcelona

We recommend the use of the underground system as the quickest, safest way to get around the city, which can be combined with the use of buses, trams and train when needed. We suggest you buy a T10 card from any underground station or newsagent for only 7.20 euros. It is valid for ten one-way journeys and will enable you to get on a train+metro+bus (any combination valid and up to 4 different transport systems ) during the same jorney for up to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
