Available ticket options:

• 24 hours Ticket
• 48 hours Ticket

2 . Combo 1: Hop on Hop off Bus Ticket + 60 min. Ecological Catamaran tour (24/48 hours)

This ticket includes the same benefits of the 24 or 48 hour tourist bus single ticket plus a 60 minute ride on an ecological catamaran . In addition, with the purchase of your ticket you will be contributing to the cleaning of 1 kg of plastic from the sea.

Remember that, regardless of the ticket you choose (24 or 48 hour combo), the catamaran ride is a one-time activity. Your ticket gets activated the first time you board the bus.

Excellent service

Friendly staff, freely gave advice and information. We did both green and red routes, two day pass. The city is very spread out so able to see whole, and visit the points of main interest to us. The bus was on time and the audio was most helpful and very clear. We would recommend the bus tour.

In Barcelona, this is the best way to visit

1st time in this kind of tour. But is the best decision in Barcelona. All the attractions are far from each other and this is the best way to get there; or you can pay an expensive taxi. We saw all Barcelona. Next time we will enter to some places, but we were satisfied.

Great and safe way to see a city

I do this is most big cities I visit. Get a real feel of a city on an open top bus. The smells and the sounds. Hop on and hop off where you want. There are so many of these buses that you aren’t kept waiting very long

These reviews have been published in the official public profile of Barcelona City Tour at TripAdvisor.

Hop on Hop Off Barcelona Bus Tour: 2024 Tourist Bus Guide

The hop on hop off Barcelona bus tour, aka the Bus Turistic , brings you to the city’s main attractions using just one ticket.

These bus tours make planning a thorough, quick sightseeing tour of Barcelona a breeze – so it’s no wonder 2,000,000+ passengers board every year.

Let’s take a deeper look at this Barcelona bus tour.

First Up: Booking the Barcelona Bus Tour

If you’re looking to skip right ahead and get to it: tickets are bought via the Tiqets website – the world’s largest tourism ticket seller.

Buying tickets in advance saves you €2.00 per adult ticket compared to buying on site – and allows you to walk right on.

With summer lines (especially at major stops) being a burden this can save a lot of time.

Barcelona Tourist Bus Timetable

The Barcelona Bus Turistic runs year around except Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve .

During high season expect to wait only 5 minutes between buses while in Barcelona in winter waits can push 25 minutes.

• Every day from  9:00* to 19:00
• Frequency: every  5-25 minutes

* The first tour bus departs from Plaça Catalunya at 9:00 so it’ll arrive and any subsequent stop a few minutes later, for example the first bus at Drassanes leaves at 9:06. Count about 5-6 minutes per stop.

Still unsure? Check out my post: is the Barcelona tourist bus is worth it?

Barcelona Hop on Hop off Plan

Being a Barcelona city tour veteran I’ve got an idea of how to best take advantage of a day pass on the Bus Turisitic.

First of all, you should grab the blue line but don’t get on the first stop in Plaça de Catalunya – it’s the busiest stop and especially in high season you might have to line up.

Furthermore, you’re just going to be coaxed off the bus at the first stop anyway since it’s impossible to resist the beautiful, trancadis-speckled mansion Casa Batllo.

The same goes for stop number two at La Pedrera, another of Gaudi’s amazing modernist mansions. You should get on at the La Pedrera stop – with the plan of riding it 12 minutes eastward to Sagrada Familia.

From here, the way I would plan the Barcelona tourist bus is the following:

• Get off at Sagrada Familia and do their spectacular English guided tour
• Get off at Park Guell and visit the Monumental Zone of the park
• Get off at Camp Nou to discover the stadium, or at least grab a coffee to break it up
• Get off at the Eixample stop, walk up Carrer d’Enric Granados and explore the area’s tapas bars
• Head back to Placa de Catalunya and switch to the red line if you intend on carrying on.

This is the perfect five hour Barcelona tour, and should leave you a few hours to explore the panoramic views and seaside discoveries of the red line.

Don’t have enough time for the Barcelona bus Turístic in one day? Just book a second day, it’s only €10.00 more.

Related : Get a two hour walking tour of the Gothic Quarter for just 18 euro.

Barcelona Sightseeing Bus for Cruise Ship Passengers

For cruise ship passengers the Barcelona bus tour is a perfect way to see the city.

First things first, the shuttle from the dock will leave you at the Columbus Statue at Drassanes metro station. Here you’ll find a ticket window and a red line Bus Turístic stop .

Keep in mind your fellow cruise ship passengers will be doing the same thing so it’s always best to buy your hop on hop off bus tour tickets online to avoid lengthy lines. All you have to do then is board the bus!

On nice days make sure you grab a spot on the top deck of the bus – if there’s no room just get on and wait by the stairs for a couple minutes for someone to get off.

The red line bus will take you along the port with the beach and the famous two towers before looping back and taking you by Ciutadella Park and El Born . Get off at the Barri Gotic stop where you’ll be able to take some great shots of the Barcelona Cathedral .

Total time to here is about 90 minutes.

Get back on the bus tour until the Casa Batllo  stop – here you can get off and wander the world-famous Passeig de Gracia  shopping area all the way up to dream house La Pedrera. Allow about an hour for this.

The Pedrera stop connects with the blue line which you’ll take to the Sagrada Familia: if you’ve bought your Sagrada Familia tour tickets online  you’ll skip the annoying lines and be in and out in about 90 minutes.

Get back on the blue line for 10-15 minutes more and you’ll be at Park Guell .

Taking in the magnificent views of the city from here should take about an hour or so. Get back on the bus for a trip to some amazing Barcelona FC football matches  at Barcelona’s famous stadium Camp Nou .

From here you’ll take Diagonal down into the Raval neighbourhood and eventually end up back at  Plaça Catalunya .

From Plaça Catalunya walk down La Rambla to your point of origin: the Columbus Statue. From here you can get your shuttle back to the cruise ship. This last part of the trip can be done in two hours or less.

Again, with the Sagrada Familia tour and a little lunch break you’re looking at about seven hours but if you’re not it can be done comfortably in five.

🚌 Planning on visiting Barcelona? Make sure you know how to get around Barcelona on public transport first.

Barcelona Tourist Bus Tips

As a veteran of the hop on hop off Barcelona bus tour, having gone on it with various visitors over the last 10 years, I can share the following pearls of wisdom.

• Buy your bus tour tickets online in advance to make sure you can walk right now
• If you got them bring your own headphones for better audio guide sound.
• Take your bus tour on the first day there because it helps plan the rest of your trip.
• Bring a light jacket if you’re not fond of wind.
• Start your Barcelona city tour early to avoid crowds and get the full value of the tickets.
• Don’t start at major stops like Sagrada Familia and Plaça Catalunya because there are big lines. Always look to board one stop before or after (buses never depart full as per company policy so the following stops can pick up new riders).
• If you can’t get a seat on the top deck sit as close as possible to the stairway downstairs to queue for the next seat
• If you only have a one day ticket try and avoid Friday (it’s cruise ship day).
• Sun cream and water are an absolute necessity in summer.

Barcelona Bus Turistic FAQ

Yes, the Barcelona Bus Turistic serves virtually the entire city: it is split up across two different lines (red and blue) and more than 30 stops including all major attractions like Sagrada Familia, Camp Nou, Park Guell, the Gothic Quarter, Montjuic, and much more.

A complete tour of both the red and blue lines should take around 2 hours. That said, time should be factored in for whatever stops you make. A typical bus tour of Barcelona to see the sites can easily take up a full day.

Single day tickets cost €31.00 for adults, €28.00 for seniors and students, and €18.00 for children. Two day Barcelona bus tour tickets cost €42.00 (adults), €39.00 (seniors and students), and €23.00 (children).

If you buy your Barcelona tourist bus tickets on site, there are no bus tour discounts. However, in booking your bus tickets online you can save €2.00 per adult ticket.

The Bus Turistic runs every day except Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve.

I high season there is just a five minute wait between buses, while low season can take up to 20 minutes between buses.

The Barcelona bus tour hours are as follows:

• Every day from 9:00am (*first bus departs from Plaza Catalunya) to 7:00 pm
• Frequency: every 5-25 minutes

No, the days must be used up on consecutive days.

Yes, as of 2023 the hop on hop off bus ticket is valid for hours, not days.

No, unfortunately refunds cannot be made once tickets are purchased.

Yes. Keep in mind though that wheelchair customers will not be able to access the upper deck.

Yes, but now the whole way. Take the blue line to the Tramvia Blau-Tibidabo stop and change for the Tramvia Blau or Bus 196 to get to the Funicular de Tibidabo.

• October 22, 2019 at 3:44 pm Susan Hi Ash My daughter and I are staying at Carrer d'En Fontrodona. We wish to use the hop on hop off bus. If we get on the bus at the Colom-Museu stop, what time would the first bus leave from there please. I am just trying to work out timings so we can plan our itinerary.We plan on getting the two day pass and getting off to explore at each stop.We will be getting the pass for a Saturday and Sunday in July. I am wondering if we would be better to do the blue line on the Saturday taking in to account things being closed on Sundays, and Montjuic Castle being free on Sundays after 3pm. I'd also like to tie things in with seeing La Sardana in Cathedral Square on Sunday. Then just to work out when to book Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo etc. Your thoughts would be appreciated thankyou. I am devouring your site and thank you for a previous reply regarding Aerobus. It's very helpful having a local give inside information. Reply
