Barcelona is an amazing city known for its rich cultural heritage, its beautiful architecture and so much more. One of the best ways to explore the city is by taking advantage of the excellent hop-on-hop-off bus tours that run around the city.
The tours offer the opportunity to see some of Barcelona's major landmarks and attractions at your own pace. The stops are conveniently located near many of the top sites, so you can spend as much time as you like at each location before hopping back on the bus to continue your journey!
The bus tours are perfect for those who want to see a lot of the city without the hassle of walking long distances. Simply board the bus, sit back, and enjoy the ride, getting on and off at your convenience!
In the summertime, many buses have open tops, allowing you to soak up the sunshine as you tour the city. Be sure to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated, as the summer heat can be quite intense.
The hop-on-hop-off buses operate frequently, so you won’t have to wait long for the next one when you're ready to continue exploring. Plus, most tickets include an audio guide as well which provides insightful commentary on the landmarks and history as you travel.
That’s why we highly recommend the Barcelona Bus Turístic Hop-on Hop-off services as a fantastic way to experience all that Barcelona has to offer!

Tips for visiting Barcelona
- Plan Ahead for Major Attractions: Book your tickets in advance for popular attractions like the Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, and Casa Batlló. They can get very crowded, and booking ahead ensures you get in!
- Explore Beyond the Tourist Spots: While the Gothic Quarter and Las Ramblas are must-see areas, don’t miss out on exploring other neighbourhoods like El Raval, Gràcia, and Poble-sec. Each has its own unique charm and can have fewer tourists.
- Try Local Cuisine: Indulge in local Catalan cuisine. Try dishes like paella, tapas, and patatas bravas. Visit markets like ‘La Boqueria’ and ‘Mercat de Sant Antoni’ for fresh, local food. Don’t forget to try some churros con chocolate!
- Use Public Transportation: Barcelona has a good public transport system, including buses and a metro that can get you almost anywhere in the city. We do sell public transport cards for Barcelona – click here to see them!
- Be Aware of Pickpockets: Barcelona is known for its pickpockets, especially in crowded tourist areas so keep an eye on your belongings and be cautious with your valuables.
Barcelona Fun Facts
- La Sagrada Família: The famous Barcelona landmark which was designed by Antoni Gaudí, has been under construction since 1882 and is still not finished. It was estimated to be completed by 2026, but it has since been delayed.
- The Eixample District’s Grid Design: Barcelona's Eixample district is known for its unique grid-like layout, with octagonal blocks and wide streets. It was designed by Ildefons Cerdà in the 19th century for better traffic flow and sunlight.
- Las Ramblas: The famous street is actually a series of shorter streets, all connected, making it one of the most vibrant pedestrian walkways in the city, filled with street performers, shops, and cafes!
- A City with Beaches: Though now famous for its beach culture, Barcelona didn't actually have the beaches we know and love today until the 1992 Olympics! The city transformed its industrial waterfront into a beautiful coastline for visitors and locals to enjoy!
- Gaudí's Mosaic Masterpiece: Parc Güell, another of Gaudí’s masterpieces, is home to the world’s longest park bench. It’s a colourful, winding mosaic structure that offers stunning views of the city.
- Football Passion: Barcelona is home to FC Barcelona, one of the most successful football clubs in the world. Camp Nou, the team’s stadium, is the largest in Europe, with a capacity of nearly 100,000, which is currently undergoing further expansion!
- The Oldest Working Restaurant: Can Culleretes, founded in 1786, is Barcelona’s oldest restaurant and one of the oldest in Spain. It’s famous for its traditional Catalan dishes.
- Modernista Architecture Hub: Aside from Gaudí, Barcelona is a hub for Catalan Modernism, a distinctive architectural style seen in buildings like Casa Batlló and Casa Milà (La Pedrera).
- Language Diversity: Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, and while Spanish is widely spoken, Catalan is the region's official language, with most signs and public information displayed in both languages.
- A City with Roman Origins: Beneath the Gothic Quarter lies the ancient Roman city of Barcino. You can visit underground ruins in the Museum of the History of Barcelona (MUHBA) to see how the city started nearly 2,000 years ago!
