Hi. We visited mid January, so only a few weeks ago. The weather was around 13/15 degrees C and sunny with blue skies each of the 4 days we spent there.
Glad you found it helpful. We bought the “Hola” metro ticket. That’s a combined ticket that gives you metro travel, buses, the metro to/from airport and the Montjuïc funicular (not the cable car though.) you can buy 2 day up to 5 day tickets. So we used that on buses. I had a Quick Look and it looks like you can buy a single bus ticket for just under 3 Euros. So that gives you an idea of cost. The hola tickets that give unlimited travel start from around 17 Euros for a 2 day ticket. Hope that helps.
I should have added. We bought our tickets from a machine in a metro station however if you only plan on using a bus once for example, you can just tap your contactless bank card, Apple Pay etc at the machines on the bus as you board. Also, if you have a ticket bought in advance, you also need to scan that after you board. So for paper cards you have bought before, you will see a machine with a slot where you pop the ticket into and it pops out again. For paying using contactless bank card or a code from an electronic ticket you have on your phone, you use the other machine to just tap and go. It’s really easy 👍
@@GlobetrottingGraeme great thank you. That helps a lot. We will probably just do the one bus journey as planning to walk a lot with the kids. How long did you stay there for? We’ve very excited to visit as will be our first time there. ☺️
Loads of really helpful information and tips, thank you! The go cars look so much fun!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tips for a trip to Barcelona! The Gaudi buildings are fab, would love to visit Casa Mila
Thanks, I’m glad you liked it. Yes, the Gaudi buildings are quite something.
Hello, when did you visit? And what was the weather like?
