 | Barcelona Metro Reviews | Tips 1 - 10 of 117 |  |
Barcelona is a very walkable city, though for those less able, or those who enjoy trying out the local transport, then the TMB Metro is the go. There are 6 lines - L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 & L11, plus also part of the network is the funicular railway that runs from Paral·lel metro stop to Parc de Montjuic. The metro runs from 5am to midnight Sun-Thu and from 5am to 2am on Fri & Sat. Some of the lines criss-cross in the centre of Barcelona, though you may find you seem to walk for ages underground to change from one line to another. Tickets can be bought from the ticket office at each station or from the ticket machines which operate in a few different languages. You can buy single tickets or books of ten single tickets if you are planning a few single trips during your stay. If you are planning a few trips within the same day you may be better off buying a one-day pass (T-Dia), which costs 5.25 euro for zone 1 (Feb 2007). Or depending on the length of your visit, and how often you think you will use the metro, you may want to consider a 2, 3, 4, or 5 day pass. Full details of all the tickets and pricing can be found on the website below. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/MetroWebsite: http://www.tmb.net/en_US/home.jsp

If you plan to explore Barcelona on foot, Metro is the way to go. You can buy single ticket ( around 1.05Euro), or a 10-tickets (10 passes). TMB (Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona) also sells the travel card : 2 days, 3 days , 4 days, 5 days. There are ticket machines at every station. The metro hours are : Monday - Thursday : 5:00am - 24:00 am. Fridays, Sat, Sun : 5:00 am - 2:00 am. ( for the late-night owls (party-goers) ) Travel card for 2 days : 8.40 euro 3 days : 11.8 euro 4 days : 15.20 euro 5 days : 18.20 euro Barcelona card : 1 day - 17 euro 2 days 20 euro 3 days - 23 eoro 4 days - 25 euro 5 days - 27 euro You want to compare the travel card with the Barcelona card which also gives you free ride on Metro/buses system in addition with other discounts (restaurants, museum, etc... see my barcelona card tip). Hint :Most of the metro stations in Barcelona are in this scenario . They have stairs and automatic escalators. Majority of the stations have the automatic escalator only when you go up (ascending). However, when you go down (descending), you have to use the stair, no automatic escalator. If you plan to use metro from airport to Barcelona city, you are ok because you are ascending, but if you are planning to use metro to get to airport from Barcelona with heavy luggage, think twice. You are descending with your luggage (no automatic escalator) to several sub-levels or interchanges before you can get to the car platform. That is a lot of exercise :) Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/MetroWebsite: http://www.tmb.es

Metro is the most convenient way of getting around Barcelona and is very easy to use, with colour coded lines. You have various money saver choices of tickets - I was there for 3 days and opted for a 10 use ticket which cost around 6 euros I believe. This is just one ticket that is stamped every time you go through to the metro platform. Then my friend and I shared a 10 use ticket - very useful if you do not need to use the full 10 on one person - just pass it back to the other person once you have gone through the barrier.
