Once you have worked out how you are going to travel around Barcelona, you need to choose the right ticket for yourself! Read on to find out more about the variety of Barcelona Transportation Tickets!

When you buy an integrated ticket, you can use it on the Metro, FGC, RENFE Trains (Zone 1) Trams and Buses!

Let’s take a look at some of the most useful tickets;

The Bitllet Senzíll (Single Journey METRO Ticket).

Nice and simple, this is the ticket you need for one single journey on the Barcelona Metro and it will cost you €1,45 (As of Jan 2011).

Ways to Purchase the Bitllet Senzíll Metro Ticket:

Metro Automatic Vending Machines.
Metro Ticket Offices.

The Bitllet Senzíll (Single Journey TMB BUS Ticket):

This ticket will give you one journey on a Barcelona TMB bus and it will cost you €1,45 (As of Jan 2011).

The T-10 Ticket:

This is the most popular ticket amongst people who will be using the Barcelona Transport System a few times during the space of a week or so.

It Gives You:

10 Full Journeys on all integrated transport in Barcelona from zones 1 – 6.

N.B. If you jump on the Metro for example, and then take a bus from outside your destination station within an hour… It will still count as just one journey.

The T-10 ticket is also permitted for multi-person use. This is to say that if you and a friend want to use the same ticket at the same station, it is perfectly acceptable to hand the ticket back to them. However this will result in ‘two journeys used’. The T-10 Ticket will not expire until the next fare revision date (January Annual).

Cost: From €8,25 (As of Jan 2011).
