What To Expect

Simply hop aboard the open-top, double-decker City Sightseeing bus and set off to explore the ancient, medieval and modern sights of beautiful Barcelona.

Sit back into your comfortable seat and enjoy the 360-degree views and informative onboard audio commentary as you weave your way through Barcelona's elegant avenues, pretty squares, medieval lanes and palm-lined waterfronts.

Switch between the different bus routes as you wish to explore different areas and aspects of the city, or stay aboard for the full loop to gain an overview of the city’s sights and landmarks.

When you’re ready, hop off at any of the conveniently located stops and explore the attractions on foot, at your leisure. Perhaps meander around the medieval alleys of the Gothic Quarter; stop off to visit the extraordinary UNESCO-World Heritage-listed La Sagrada Familia church designed by the late, great architect Antoni Gaudi; or soak up the lively atmosphere, shops and street theater along the vibrant Las Ramblas.

Alternatively, hop off to visit some of Barcelona’s cultural hotspots or to take a stroll around Port Olímpic, the picturesque palm-dotted marina crowned by a giant copper fish sculpture by Frank Gehry. These are just a sprinkling of the many things you can see and do during your hop-off hop-on tour!

Easy to hear audio detail.
Sally_F, Jun 2023
This bus offers great stops throughout the city, however the other bus option seemed to run a lot more busses.
great way to travel when...
Michel_L, Jun 2023
great way to travel when it is your first time in a new city. Allows to maximize your experience . Would recommend to everyone on a first time in Barcelone.
Riding on top of the bus...
Tomeji_M, Jun 2023
Riding on top of the bus - great view! Beautiful sights and easy on & off access. Loved the voice commentary with multiple languages.
Great tour for the money!
Karen_g, Jun 2023
Great way to see the city. Multiple routes to see it all. Easy to navigate and the employees were very helpful. Only wish I had more time.
Best use of our limited time.
Rosina_K, Jun 2023
Super easy all day experience getting around the city. When you only have 1 day to explore, this allows you to be transported everywhere and get off the bus when you want additional time in an area. Besides, you can rest between stops just riding around enjoying the scenery.
Great way to see the sights
Rebecca_B, Jun 2023
Great tour with so many sights to see and learn about the history of beautiful Barcelona. The buses ran on time and were comfortable.
Beautiful Barcelona
Deva_H, Jun 2023
Seeing Gaudi`architecture. A great way to see the city & decide what to do, then be able to get to those parts easily.
Visiting the Barca...
Nadine_T, Jun 2023
Visiting the Barca stadium and also Segada Famalia !! The cathedral is amazing and it was a great experience just to be able to touch it
We enjoyed it
Michael_B, Jun 2023
Great way to see the city. Friendly employees and comfortable busses. The free Wi-Fi was a good benefit too.
Would do again
Whimsy_W, Jun 2023
Great way to see the city plus get to various parts of the city. Learned a lot! Would recommend but do note Sunday’s seem remarkably busier and you may have a little wait at the busier stops.
5 start tour
Joseph_T, Jun 2023
Just simply the best way to see Barcelona in such a small amount of time. The narration was very informative and buses readily available
Good way to orientate
Christine_H, Jun 2023
The staff were very helpful with boarding and alighting the bus. The bus ride was a useful way of getting one’s bearings.
Barcelona Red Line
Ronald_S, Jun 2023
We only had time to ride the red line. If you want to get a sense of the city, this is fine, but we didn't find anything of interest on this route to encourage getting off. The blue line might have been a better choice. Also, we felt the meeting place to get on the bus could have been clearer. If you've never been there before, it can be difficult to find the stops, streets. etc.
Great way to sightsee
hayley_a, May 2023
Definitely worth the money. Great way to see Barcelona in one day. We saw many of the “must see stops” in just one day. Buses come very frequent.
Great experience
Linda_W, May 2023
Everyone was very nice and helpful Bused came by often Bus was clean Only wished the English speaker was easier to understand
Great trips if you are pushed for time
Sally_D, May 2023
Had trouble finding correct bus stop near our hotel to start with, but as we only had 1 day the2x2 hour (red and blue route) tours really gave us a good insight into Barcelona. Comfortable, good commentary, friendly staff. Would recommend if you are pushed for time
Inconsistent drivers. ...
Debora_T, May 2023
Inconsistent drivers. Some were efficient; stopped at each stop and then moved on when there were no passengers loading or unloading. We caught one bus on the blue route that stayed at each stop a long time even if no passengers loading or unloading; then we all waited while she took a break in a local coffee shop. It should have taken 2 hours to make the whole blue route. It took longer and we missed our prepaid guided tour of Sagrada Familia. Very frustrating.
Ok,,,,all depends on driver and assistant
Zita_P, May 2023
The driver and assistant on the northern route were fabulous! The driver and assistant on the southern route were unfriendly and ignored people. They were more interested in eating. I know you won’t be able to tell who the southern driver was but drove WAY to fast and was ahead of the descriptions. His assistant was non existent. I am sure this can happen,,,, Northern route driver and assistant were superb
Efficient way to see the city
Johnna_F, May 2023
Great, efficient way to see the city. The buses are fast at every stop so this is a win if you don't have a lot of time to explore.
Very disgruntled customer
Kathleen_R, May 2023
I would have given zero stars if it would have let me. I wasted 200 and something dollars on this bus trip for two days. Half the time the buses were overloaded on the first day didn’t really give you a good description of the sites. I had my tickets in the app when we got on the bus they printed out tickets they never once told us we had to keep those tickets secondary comes rolling around and I pulled up the app to let them scan and they wanted to know where the ticket was I told them, I threw it in my garbage at the apartment. They told me if I didn’t have that piece of paper we could not get on so I had to pay a taxi 50 bucks round-trip to go back to the apartment and get the ticket. I asked them if they could just scan the app again they told me no I would lose my money, and there was nothing they could do , so I went and got the ticket. Luckily it was on top of my garbage got on the bus today. The sound system didn’t work we kept telling the people they didn’t work. Finally they pulled us over. We sat on it for over 30 minutes then they proceeded to tell us we have to get off the bus and wait for another bus All the while the time clock is ticking and we’re losing time on sightseeing. Worst experience and worst $200 I ever spent I should’ve went with the other company.
