Barcelona Card

[speechtcher]

We will be spending 4 days, post cruise, in Barcelona. Would it be worth it to purchase the Barcelona Card. The website says that it is good for all public transportation and discounts on museums and restaurants. Does anyone have any experience with this?

 

Thanks for any information.

DH and I got ours online before arriving at the end of May (2009) -- and picked them up at a window at the airport. You also get a large book of info with it. We used our cards primarily for the trains. It was very convenient (no messing with individual fares) -- and also had a variety of discounts for attractions.

 

Barcelona is fabulous, and the trains are great!

Whether or not it's worth it depends on what you plan to see and do while in Barcelona. If you go to the Barcelona Tourism web site, it will tell you everything you can do with the Barcelona card:

Add up the savings and see if it surpasses the cost of the card.

 

Good luck!
