Q: I will travel to Barcelona next month and I want to know if metro rides are covered by Barcelona Card?

A: Yes, one of the benefits offered by Barcelona Card is the free usage of the public transportation inside Barcelona. If you have purchased the Barcelona Card you can travel without buying tickets by all buses, trams and metro lines that are operating inside Barcelona. The card is valid for the entire Zone 1 area which includes the city center and the most popular tourist landmarks.

However, the card is quite expensive, and therefore it is not worth to purchase it just in order to enjoy free metro. In that case you will do a better deal if you choose one of the regular discount cards related to the public transportation of Barcelona. They offer free daily pass or three days cards or you can buy the T10 Transport Ticket. The latter one can be obtained at all of the metro stations in Barcelona and in contrast with Barcelona Card, it is not personalized, so it can be used by more than one person (for additional information – Barcelona Card vs T-10).
