Barcelona Transport
What is the Barcelona public transport like?
There is a very efficient, well linked and CHEAP transport system to get you around the city of Barcelona. A T10 ticket (7.20€ available from all metro and train stations and tabacs) gives you 10 journeys around the city, using the metro, buses and local FGC trains. Just 1 of your 10 journeys will allow you to travel for 1hour 15 mins, using all the forms of transport available if necessary...a bargain!! You can also get off and on again, using the same ticket if you are going in the same direction. So for example you go could from your apartment in El Borne to Plaça Catalunya, get off and do some shopping and then go on to Camp Nou on the same ticket, all for the equivalent of 48 pence.
Travelling to places outside of Barcelona is also fairly easy. There is a train from Barcelona to a station at the foot of Monserrat, for example, from where you can catch a breath taking cable car to the Monserrat Monastery towards the top of the mountain.
Bicing
is the name given to the remarkably successful bike scheme introduced this year. Strategically placed computer controlled parking points for cycles have been placed around the centre of Barcelona, allowing people, although not generally tourists, to pick up a bike at one point and drop it off at another, close to their destination. Some 85,000 people have now joined the scheme and you cannot miss the red and white Bicing bikes (Not all 85,000 get on a bike at the same time). We at Barcelona Flats are fans of Bicing, but just be careful as those bikes do get everywhere...including in padestrianised areas so mind your backs!
