Getting Around Barcelona

Like any other major cosmopolitan city, Barcelona has several options for transportation – all inexpensive, reliable and efficient.

The city has an extensive and impressive metro system that spreads out to most places of interest. A single metro ride costs EUR1.20 but you can buy multi-day travel cards, starting at EUR9.2. For maps and metro information, as well as information on suburban bus and trains, visit www. tmb.net. Taxis are abundant in Barcelona as well, and are a better method of transportation after late-nights out. They are distinct (black and yellow) and can be hailed directly on the street. A 15 minute ride will cost about EUR5.
