Barcelona's bus fleet is one of the cleanest in Europe as it incorporates hybrid, electric or compressed gas vehicles. The bus network is extensive and consists in fast lines that run through the city horizontally and vertically; conventional lines connecting neighborhoods; neighborhood buses that cover short trips within each neighborhood; and night lines.
Public transport such as the metro, tram and FGC are the quickest, simplest, most convenient and most sustainable way of getting around Barcelona. You can choose from the different ticket types and travel cards. One of the best options is the HOLA Barcelona card that includes these advantages:
Barcelona offers you a network of more than 240 km of cycle lanes, a large number of cycle parking spaces, as well as special signage, traffic lights, and other services. In addition to the cycle lanes, there are other thoroughfares you can cycle along: streets and zones where there is a 30 km speed limit, single-surface streets, pedestrianised areas and public parks.
You'll find charming and unique means of transport at Barcelona's most iconic sightseeing spots, including the Montjuïc Cable Car, which allows you to enjoy spectacular views of the city while you go up to the castle located at the top of the Montjuïc mountain. And if you're looking for a convenient sightseeing trip, the Barcelona Bus Turístic will give you a unique, and complete, view of the city. Fun is guaranteed!
