Both the bus routes blue and red are very nice n have various interesting sights along the route. But my personal favourite was the blue route which took us to the sergadda familia and other attractions in the city

Good for sightseeing and detailed story about the city itself. We went red and blue route and both we like as it gives a good opportunity to know the city and surroundings. The onliest but pretty big "minus" is that when it started raining and we were on the second floor of the bus and there was no roof even... More

Barcelona Bus turistic is definitely the best way to see the city undoubtedly. I have been in Barcelona earlier but never got to take the Bus Turistic. This time, it was a sunday and I was out early. Headed straight to Las Ramblas and just opposite the Columbus Memorial is the Bus Turistic Counter. The Bus has three lines, RED,... More

Least expensive way of seeing Barcelona. Open Roof bus that allows for fresh air ride. Allow for huge lines to get on bus at every stop, as this is very popular due to cost.

An opportunity to see the city, but the lack of a guide on the bus (you receive earphones and plug in to an audio tour) like in other cities provided more a transportation source than a real perspective on the city. It's a good way to get around and the buses come often.

Although we were staying in Barcelona for a week during May, we were mainly there for the F1 and so had limited time to do the City sights. We decided to take the Bus Turistic and bought our tickets from our hotel as we got a discount, we then had to pay the rest on the bus, they do take... More

Great way to see the whole city in one or two days. The audio accompaniment leaves quite a bit to be desired, though. The staff aren't particularly friendly... Many seemed annoyed to be there.

We bought a two-day ticket and found it great. Yes there could have been more information on the headphones and they could make sure all the buses had working covers for the top deck in rain, but overall it was great! There are 3 routes - we really enjoyed the red and blue route, stopping at lots of them for... More

There are two double-decker excursion bus companies in Barcelona - Bus Turistic (aquamarine buses) and City Tour (red buses). We took the first one and rode all three its routes. The routes are red, blue and green. They intercross at a few points like Pl. Catalunya (blue and red) or Platja de Bogatell Cementiri del Poblenou (red and green). You... More
