Getting Around
The metro is the easiest way of getting around and reaches most places you're
likely to visit (although not the airport). For some trips you need buses or FGC sub-
urban trains. The tourist office gives out the comprehensive
Guia d'Autobusos
Urbans de Barcelona,
which has a metro map and details all bus routes.
For public-transport information, call
