Barcelona Tourist Bus

There are two main Barcelona Tourist Bus companies. They both visit the major sights.
I was a bit sceptical about these –until I took my Mom on one last year! It certainly beats plodding around in the heat and you get a great view of the city from the top decks of the buses. The commentaries are OK, too.
I really like being able to hop on and off, stoping for a refreshing Voll Damm or two away from the busiest places and then hopping back on to complete the visit. Well worth the money, especially considering the important discounts and freebies offered.

All Barcelona Tourist Bus routes take about 2 hours to complete (non-stop). They run every 7–15 minutes, according to the time of year.
Below is a bit more information on them and how to book on-line to avoid queueing in the city centre and wasting your valuable holiday time.
