Barcelona City Cards

Attractions vary by pass, but may include the Sagrada Família, Park Güell, Casa Batlló, Casa Milà–La Pedrera, Picasso Museum, Barcelona Aquarium, Barcelona Zoo, Moco Museum, Poble Espanyol, FC Barcelona Museum, and Montjuïc Cable Car.

It depends on your pass. Attraction-based cards require you to select a number of attractions, while day-based passes generally allow access to their full list during the chosen validity period. Some high-demand sites may still require separately booked time slots, however.

Some do. The Barcelona Card includes public transport alongside museum access, while the Hola Barcelona Travel Card is dedicated exclusively to transport. Attraction passes such as Go City and Headout do not automatically include transport unless the relevant option is explicitly selected.

Some attractions require advance reservations, especially popular timed-entry landmarks and guided tours. Check your pass confirmation and the operator’s app as soon as you book, then reserve priority attractions before your travel dates where possible.

Usually, each included attraction can be visited once per passholder. A repeat visit is only possible if the specific attraction or pass terms clearly say otherwise. Plan your itinerary on the assumption that each entry is single-use.

Most Barcelona city cards are sent digitally to your email after booking. Depending on the product, you may scan a QR code directly, download an operator app, activate a pass with a confirmation code, or exchange a voucher for a physical card.

Activation depends on the product. Many attraction passes activate when you visit your first included attraction, whereas transport cards activate at first validation. Once activated, the pass validity starts and usually runs for consecutive days or hours.
