We were able to pick up our tickets at the tourist information desk at the airport. The nice man at the counter gave us a map of Barcelona and showed us which means of public transport we could use. The transport network is very well developed and timed. All the metros, streetcars, buses and associated stations were super clean and well maintained. What I would like to mention explicitly is that the cable car to Montjuïc is not included, as this is operated by a private company. However, there is a public cable car that goes up and back down.

It was so smooth but when negotiating the doorway with luggage, I fel over but ok. I said to my wife that it's so good having very good vehicle and very clean. I would certainly refer my opinions on to my close friends

A straightforward journey to the center. The bus stop at BCN Terminal 2 could be better marked (upon exciting the building, proceed to the left, to the end of the curb). The twobyoung ticket checkers were rather unhelpful (perhaps because I spoke English). Although there were info TV panels in the bus, they did not display the names of the upcoming stops, neither did they announce them. For those not knowing the city, it is confusing.

-- THE BEST NETWORK & SERVICE -- I visited Malaysia(Langkawi, Kuala Lumpur), Singapore and Indonesia recently for 12 Days and purchased this eSim and it worked perfectly. As soon as I landed to foreign land, it got activated and provided smooth 4G (Malaysia, Indonesia) and 5G (Singapore) networks. As it comes with Unlimited Data Plan, I was worry free using this network ON 24 hours. Thanks a lot for this.
