If you want to visit Barcelona at your own pace, the double-decker tourist bus is perfect for you! You can hop on and off all day long with the same ticket, change routes, and learn about the history of the city through a comfortable audio system in 15 different languages. Upon boarding, you will receive a map of both the East (Green) and West (Orange) routes, a list of all the stops, and discounts for different establishments in the city. These new buses are adapted for people with limited mobility, and have an electric roof for use in the event of rain. They are fitted with anatomical seats and heating on both decks. There is a stewardess aboard to answer general questions.
Please Note: There are 2 bus routes that follow the same, seasonal schedule. The buses run every 5 to 25 minutes, depending on the season, and each route takes approximately 2 hours to make a full circuit.
