Rail tips
The Aerobús is the fastest and most direct option to the center. The train (from T2) and the metro (with a special ticket) are more economical alternatives.
The Metro, Bus and Tram system is integrated and efficient. It is the best way to get around Barcelona.
For multi-day stays, the T-casual pass (10 journeys, can be shared) is usually more cost-effective than the Hola Barcelona (unlimited journeys, individual).
Don't miss the charming transportation: the Montjuïc Funicular (included in the metro ticket) and the Tramvia Blau (historic tram) to go up to Tibidabo.
