This quick way to get to know Barcelona is ideal for first-time or short-term visitors. Disabled people and families with small children will also highly appreciate an excursion to the Catalan capital on double-decker buses. Not only will they see the city streets from above, but they will also have a lot of fun. I will introduce you to the buses of two companies. Both of them work according to the hop on/hop off system, which manifests itself in the fact that in order to study the attraction in more detail, you can get off at the stop and then take the next bus on the same route. I will provide you with detailed information about their destinations, routes and tariffs.
These buses will also be useful for those who are too lazy to look for city attractions and plan a route. There are two routes: red and blue. They have three crossing points. Moreover, you only need to buy one ticket - no one forbids changing from one line to another. This bus runs throughout the year, except January 1 and December 25.
Buses run from 09:00 to 19:00 with an interval of 20-30 minutes (depending on the season). The journey along the red and blue routes takes about 2 hours. The schedule can be checked at the stops. On the bus you will be served by an audio guide in 16 languages. There is also free Wi-Fi and individual headphones.
