Hola Barcelona: Public Transport Card at Barcelona: Public Transport Tickets

Hola Barcelona Public Transport Card

The Hola Barcelona Travel Card gives you unlimited access to Barcelona's entire public transport network for 2 to 5 days. Use the metro, buses, trams, suburban trains, and airport connections without buying individual tickets or working out zone fares. Perfect for visitors who want to explore the city efficiently and save money on transport costs.

Choose from 2, 3, 4, or 5-day passes depending on your stay. The card covers Zone 1, which includes all central Barcelona attractions and both airport terminals. You'll break even after just a few journeys, making this the smartest way to get around if you're planning to visit multiple neighbourhoods or attractions like Sagrada Familia and the Gothic Quarter.

How It Works

Redeem your mobile voucher at any metro ticket machine or customer service office, including both airport terminals. The contactless card activates on first use and remains valid for your selected duration.

• Present your QR code or voucher at ticket machines
• Collect your physical Hola Barcelona card
• Tap the card at metro barriers, bus validators, and train gates
• Use unlimited times during your validity period
• Works on metro, TMB buses, trams, RENFE suburban trains, and airport connections

The card works immediately after collection. No need to register or activate separately. Simply tap and go on any covered transport service.

Good to Know

Each card is valid for one person only and cannot be shared. Children under 4 travel free, while others need their own card. The pass covers most regular TMB services, though some night buses may require separate fares.

The card only works within Zone 1 of Barcelona's transport system, which covers all city centre attractions and airport connections. Once activated, cards are non-refundable and non-transferable. No ID is required to use the card, but keep it handy for ticket inspectors.

If you're also planning to visit major attractions, consider combining your transport pass with tickets for popular sites like Park Güell to make the most of your Barcelona visit.
