Best Barcelona City Passes

If you are planning a trip to Barcelona, you are probably looking for ways to save your budget. There are many things to do and see in Barcelona, which makes the trip too expensive in most cases. Therefore, the best option when it comes to sightseeing in Barcelona is to book the Barcelona Explorer Pass.

This tourist pass includes dozens of attractions, such as the Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Camp Nou or Casa Batllo. In addition, it also includes sightseeing tours, such as a tour of Plaza Catalunya. All this with great discounts on the entrance fee. As if that were not enough, it includes a guide with which you will learn everything about these places.

The Barcelona tourist pass varies in price depending on the attractions included in the card. This tourist pass makes it possible to include from 2 to 7 attractions. For a pass with three attractions, the cost is around 80 euros per adult. In the case of children under 13 years of age, the price is reduced to about 60 euros. On the other hand, children under 3 years old do not have to buy the pass.

For the four-attraction pass, the Barcelona Explorer Pass costs around 99 euros for adults and around 71 euros for children under 13 years old. As you can see, the price is only slightly higher than the 3-activity pass, so it might be worth booking the 4-activity pass and not the 3-activity pass.

If you are thinking of booking the 5-attraction pass, you should know that it costs approximately 114 euros per adult and about 80 euros for children. Continuing with the 6-attraction pass, the price per ticket for adults is about 125 euros; for children it is about 90 euros. Finally, the 7-attraction pass will cost you about 135 euros per adult and 99 euros per child.

This price includes many of the main tourist attractions in the city, from museums to theaters or places of worship. Therefore, it is very economical, as you will save a significant amount of money on your trip to Barcelona.

The Barcelona Explorer Pass is an electronic pass, which you can have on your cell phone or, if you prefer, printed. You can choose to include in your pass from 2 to 7 attractions, whose tickets will be free, each of them being redeemed for a credit on your card. Since the pass also offers great discounts on the most important attractions in the city, you will have tickets to other attractions at reduced prices than those you would normally have to pay.

Regarding the validity of the pass, it expires after two years, if it has not been used even once. On the other hand, the Barcelona Explorer Pass is valid for 60 days from the time it is activated with the first use.

When you book your Barcelona Explorer Pass, you do not have to choose the attractions you want to see in your travel itinerary. However, although you do not have to pay your entrance fee to enter the attractions or choose them in advance, you will need to book them. I recommend that you do this well in advance to avoid running out of dates during your trip.

The Barcelona Explorer Pass includes two to seven Barcelona attractions. In total, the Barcelona Explorer Pass includes dozens of tourist attractions in Barcelona. Among the most striking, I can highlight the famous Park Güell, which is the largest park in the city and was designed by Gaudí. In addition, with your pass, you can also see La Sagrada Familia, the cathedral of Barcelona, which is also the work of Gaudi and is still under construction.

On the other hand, beyond the above places, another of the most famous that includes the Barcelona tourist pass is the Casa Batllo. This building is located on Passeig de Gràcia and is a symbol of Catalan modernism.

In addition to tickets to cultural sites, the pass also includes sightseeing tours, such as a walking tour of Plaza Catalunya, which focuses on Gaudi's modernism, or the walk along the Mediterranean. In case you are a soccer lover, you will also like to visit the Camp Nou stadium.

You should buy the Barcelona Explorer Pass if this is your first time in the city. If you have never visited the capital of Catalonia, you should see the main sights of the city, which are included in the Barcelona Explorer Pass. Therefore, you will be able to save a lot of money. In addition, it will also bring you convenience, having all your tickets in one place and on your own cell phone.

In addition, it is also recommended that you buy the Barcelona Explorer Pass even if you are only visiting the city for a few days. If this is your case, buy the option with fewer attractions, such as two or three. This way, you will not overpay. However, if you are coming back to the city soon, you can buy the 7-attraction pass, as the Barcelona Explorer Pass has an expiration date of two months from its first use.

If this is not your first time in Barcelona, you have probably already visited the main tourist sites of the city. In this case, it may not be advisable to buy the Barcelona tourist pass, since your trip this time will not be as touristy as you enjoy it.

However, having visited a monument, does not mean that you can not do it again. In fact, you always discover new details that had previously gone unnoticed. To this must be added that when traveling, tourism, in general, is usually in a hurry. Therefore, you probably have not stopped to look carefully at the various monuments.

In addition to the Barcelona Explorer Pass, there are also other tourist passes in the city that may be of interest to you. The first is the Barcelona Card Express, a discount card with which you can get discounts on your tickets and even free access to some attractions.

The Barcelona Card Express is a great discount on your trip, as it not only includes tourist attractions, but also allows you to save on restaurants and public transport in the city. The card is valid for 48 hours, so it is perfect for you if you are going on an express visit to Barcelona.

Some of the places with free access to the Barcelona Card Express are El Born Centre Cultural, the Fundació Joan Miró, the Museu Entològic, the Jardí Botánic de Barcelona or the Museu de la Xocolata.

On the other hand, some of those with discounts are the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló, Casa Milá, Museu de Cera de Barcelona, Palau de la Música Catalana or Barcelona Port Tour.

Barcelona Museum Pass

This Barcelona Museum Pass is exclusively for museums and is ideal for you if you are a big art lover. With the Barcelona Museum Pass, you can enter the best museums in Barcelona with great discounts on your tickets. This tourist pass has an approximate price of 35 euros. In addition, it includes a souvenir as a passport as a souvenir.

The museums that are included in this pass are the following that I show you below:

• The Picasso Museum
• The Antoni Tápies Foundation
• Joan Miró Foundation
• Center of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona
• National Art Museum of Catalonia
• Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art

This pass is activated the first time you use it. I recommend that you buy it in advance, so as not to risk running out of free dates during your trip to the city. The only thing you will have to do is to present the voucher at the ticket offices of the corresponding museums.

Barcelona Savings Pack

Another Barcelona sightseeing pass that may interest you is this savings pack with a visit to Camp Nou and the FC Barcelona Museum. The pass includes a tourist bus tour of the city, with which you can see the main sights of the city without having to walk for hours. In addition, the bus is air-conditioned, so I consider it among the best things to do in summer in Barcelona.

The bus stops are free, so you can get off whenever you want to visit the areas you are most interested in. There are more than 30 stops that the bus makes, highlighting the Sagrada Familia, Park Guell or the National Theater of Catalonia. On the other hand, once you arrive at Camp Nou, you will have the opportunity to enter the trophy room, as well as the locker rooms of the athletes or the press room.

The first recommendation I have to make, so that you get the most out of your Barcelona tourist pass, is to book in advance for those attractions where it is necessary. There are some that do not require advance reservations; however, there are others, such as the Plaza Catalunya tour, that do require an advance reservation.

If you do not book in advance, you may miss out on the opportunity to visit these places. In addition, that will not be the only inconvenience, but if that were not enough, you will also waste part of the money for the pass.

In addition, I also recommend that you first make your travel itinerary, with the days you intend to be in the city and the places you are most interested in. Once you have this clear, book the pass with as many attractions as you think you need. This way, you will not fall short when buying a pass with only a few attractions. Also, don't forget to take a look at the weather forecast when making your travel itinerary.
