Travellers with Disabilities
Some hotels and public institutions have wheelchair access. All buses in Barcelona are
wheelchair accessible and a growing number of metro stations are theoretically wheelchair
accessible (generally by lift, although there have been complaints that they are only any
good for parents with prams). Lines 2, 9, 10 and 11 are completely adapted, as are the ma-
jority of stops on Line 1. In all, about 80% of stops have been adapted (you can check which
ones by looking at a network map here:
www.tmb.cat/en/transport-accessible
). Ticket vend-
ing machines in metro stations are adapted for the disabled and have Braille options for the
blind.
