Barcelona Pass

About us

citypass-barcelona.com is an independent comparison site for the Barcelona sightseeing passes. They do not all come from the same kind of house. The Barcelona Card is issued by Turisme de Barcelona, the city's tourist board, and is sold for 48, 72, 96 or 120 hours. Go City and Turbopass issue their own passes beside it. Barcelona has no single official pass, so the products differ not only in price but in what they are built around.

Which one fits you depends on where your Barcelona sits between two quite different offers. The city's own card leads with the museums, the Picasso, the MNAC, the Miró Foundation, CaixaForum, and its standard version carries unlimited metro, bus, tram and the airport link; a second version strips the transport out again. The commercial passes lead with the Gaudí headliners, the Sagrada Família, Park Güell, Casa Batlló and La Pedrera, and treat transport as something you add. A trip built around Gaudí and a trip built around museums therefore end up holding different cards, and a two-day stay with two timed tickets usually ends up holding none. We show per pass what is inside, how long it runs, whether it includes transport and whether entry has to be reserved for a fixed slot.

What this site is not

citypass-barcelona.com is an independent guide. We are not the official website of any single pass provider; Turbopass, Go City and the official Barcelona Card are each run by their own issuer. We are not a general Barcelona travel guide and not a hotel portal, and we deliberately leave out hotel booking and individual tickets without a pass connection. We do not sell any pass ourselves: each booking is completed directly with the respective provider, and their current prices, availability and terms apply.
