Barcelona Tour Bus (Bus Turistic)

The best and easiest way to see the main sights of Barcelona is with a tour bus. The hop on, hop off busses enable a visitor to see all the main sites of the city. The only downside is that there is sometimes a wait at the stops. I visited the city in October and ran into occasional lines and imagine the lines must be longer in the summer.

The bus costs 21 euros a day and can be booked at most hotels' reception desks with a slight discount. With this service you will be able to see all the main attractions Barcelona has to offer. You can simply hop on the bus, and hop off to see the sights and then hop back on another bus again to go to the next sight. Occasionally there will be a wait time at some popular stops. There are two lines, a red line covering the north of the city and a blue line covering the south. Sights covered are all the main attractions in Barcelona including: Gaudi's Sagrada Familia, Gothic Quarter Olympic Village, Poble Espanyol. Commentary is given in 10 different languages. The routes are about two hours long.
