By Metro
Barcelona's Metro, among Europe's best, connects just about every place you'll visit. Rides
cost €2. The T10 Card is a great deal—€9.25 gives you 10 rides (cutting the per-ride cost
more than in half). The card is shareable, even by companions traveling with you (insert
the card in the machine per passenger). The back of your T10 card will show how many
trips were taken, with the time and date of each ride. One “ride” covers you for 1.25 hours
of unlimited use on all Metro and local bus lines, as well as local rides on the RENFE and
Rodalies de Catalunya train lines (including rides to the airport and train station) and the
suburban FGC lines (with service to Montserrat).
Full- and multi-day passes are also available (€7/1 day, €13/2 days, €19/3 days, €24/4
days, €27/5 days,
