Useful and convenient. The first step is to figure out your needs and decide accordingly when buying your travel ticket, keeping in mind that you need to validate it at the machines available in the stations. Enter the exact number and collect the ticket—that's the one that's valid, not the QR code on your phone. It's very handy because you might take the wrong exit, but with that ticket you can always get right back in. It's affordable, and you can always ask the staff on hand, who are always happy to explain things, or even the locals if you run into any trouble. A happy city breeds people who are open to a chat.

Purchasing the code was sorted in no time. We were at the Barcelona Sants station. We arrived on Friday afternoon and wanted to take the train back to the airport on Sunday. We already knew what the trip there had cost us, so the 48-hour card was well worth the money. Just read the instructions carefully and exchange the QR code at an MTB ticket machine for physical tickets! After that, traveling around is super convenient. Hop on, hop off! Metro, bus, or train. It was very smooth and enjoyable.

We really enjoyed to use the tickets. But, we didn'treally use them as much as we could have, mostly because I didn't really had the time to understand how to go around by bus. We used them mostly to go by the underground. Very easy to use.

Very practical, as it makes it so easy to explore the city by public transit. The description should explain the exact process for redeeming the code in more detail, as it's rather complicated.

Very convinient thing, I must say. It would be nice to have more information's on the buying site, for example - how to get your card, where to get it and that you have to validate it each time you use public transport (in buses too) - not especially clear for me - all such tickets in my country need only first use validation. I regret that I didn't know, that I can use the train line from airport - I was told on the station that I need to pick up my card on metro station, but there was no information that I can come back and use train, which is more convenient if you travel to the city center. So, it could be done a little bit better, but at the end of the day, we are satisfied - for sure we are buying the card next time, and recommend it for all people. About the public transport of Barcelona - wonderfully organized, usually on time (from our experience - only buses are late, no more than 10 minutes). At last - very good value for this price!

Public transportation in Barcelona is truly amazing and super convenient for exploring the city. The metro is fast, clean, and easy to figure out, even if you don't know Barcelona at all. The buses are also very handy, making it easy to get to different neighborhoods across town. There are plenty of lines and wait times are usually quite short. We were able to get everywhere without needing a car or a taxi. Stations are well marked, and buying or using a ticket is very straightforward. It’s such a pleasure to be able to visit Barcelona so easily thanks to public transit. I definitely recommend the metro and buses to get around, save time, and make the most of the city during your stay.

It was a bit tedious to exchange the voucher for a real ticket. A friendly employee then explained to us which machines we could use!
