You can get on and off as many times as you like along the journey. This way, once you have visited those places you have been interested for; you can catch the next bus and continue the route. Just with the same ticket!

You can buy tickets valid for one day (19) or two consecutive days (23).
The metro can take you to many places. A one-journey ticket cost 1.50, so it's probably best to buy a multi-person 10-ride ticket for 6.90 (called a T-10) or a personal 50-ride monthly ticket for 27.55. These tickets are also valid on the buses and trams. |

1- to 5-day public transport tickets are available which allow unlimited travel on the metro and bus networks (9.6 for two days). These are excellent value. Be sure to look after them well as bent or damaged cards will not be read by the ticket machines (such cards can be replaced at one of TMB's customer service centers).
Pay attention to the fact that sometimes to get from one line to another, or to another metro type, you need to exit and then enter through a new pay-gate. In this case, if you had a one-journey ticket, you need to get a new one.
The Barcelona Card features unlimited free travel on public transport and free admission and discounts at around 100 visitor attractions. The card is available for purchase for periods of between 2 and 5 days, costing 24 for a 2-day card and 34 for a 5-day card.

Fat Tire Bike Tours, You can either rent a bike from them or take one of their tours. The tour charge is around 22. Barceloneta Bikes is one of the cheapest places to rent a bike in the city.

By car
| Like any other large city in Spain, moving around Barcelona by car is both expensive and nervous. Parking around all major tourist destinations are paid and expensive (€1.5-2.5/hour, €20/day); fines for improper parking are uncompromising (€85 and up). Having an automobile map is essential--find it in before you start driving. Navigating with an average tourist free map is misleading: many streets are single-direction; left turns are rarer than rights (and are badly predictable).
However, getting around by car makes sense if you plan to spend much more time driving around the city than inside it--and ideally if you don't plan to park overnight at all. |
