Itinerary

Simply hop aboard the open-top, double-decker City Sightseeing bus and set off to explore the sights of beautiful Barcelona.

Sit back into your comfortable seat and enjoy the 360-degree views, audio commentary, and onboard Wi-Fi as you weave your way through Barcelona.

Switch between two different bus routes to explore different areas and aspects of the city, or stay aboard to gain an overview of the city’s sights and landmarks.

When you’re ready, hop off at any of the conveniently located stops and explore the attractions on foot, at your leisure. Perhaps meander around the medieval alleys of the Gothic Quarter; stop off to visit the extraordinary Sagrada Familia church designed by the late, great architect Antoni Gaudí; or soak up the lively atmosphere, shops, and street theater along vibrant Las Ramblas.

Alternatively, hop off to visit some of Barcelona’s cultural hotspots or to take a stroll around Port Olímpic. These are just some of the many things you can see and do during your hop-on hop-off tour.

Your pass gives you unlimited travel on all routes for your choice of 24 or 48 hours. Buses depart from each stop regularly throughout the day.

Terrible Experience

Karen_R, Jul 2026
The company policies are unclear and leave the rider confused. When questioned by the rider, the staff was discourteous and rude. The operator ushered us off the bus without a proper explanation of why the ticket indicated one policy but there was another policy in place. Because of this lack of communication/understanding, the riders were forced to find alternative means of getting back to their original destination.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

We regret that you found the information provided unclear and that your interaction with our staff left you feeling disappointed.

Devin_P, Jul 2026
The AC on most of the buses didn’t work. They never mentioned to keep your tickets should you may want to add a second a day. Some of the staff were rude and should not be in a job dealing with tourists.

Erica_C, Jul 2026
Was less crowded than the red bus. Took over two hours for the red route. Did hit most landmarks. However, the narration was lackluster. I would like to have heard more in depth history. Stemmed mostly around architecture of social policies. There is so much history in Spain, pointing things out along the route would have been good but it was only a bit at the landmarks.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Keep your ticket

Edward_R, Jul 2026
The sounds was bad so it was just like driving through random streets. I never got to see the arc. I paid twice for the tour. I got two noticed and sets of tickets and charged 71. And change. My partner misplaced his ticket and the bus guy wouldn’t accept my phone reservation. We had to buy another ticket. In all my travels I praise the hop on / hop off and tell all my friends to take the tour but the one in Barcelona turned me off on it.

Disappointing

Rebecca_O, Jul 2026
The Tour de France meant the roads were not open and all buses cancelled for the day. The booking system still took our booking and our money! Now having to fight for a refund.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Dear Customer, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very sorry to learn about your experience and understand how frustrating this situation must have been.

We understand your disappointment and appreciate your comments, as they help us improve communication with both our customers and booking partners during major city events.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your City Sightseeing Barcelona experience did not fully meet your expectations. We understand that the high temperatures led you to remain inside the bus, and we're sorry that this made it more difficult to enjoy the views of the landmarks. We also regret to learn that the audio commentary appeared to be out of sync with the route and that the air conditioning was not as effective as expected. Your comments are greatly appreciated, as they help us identify areas where we can improve the comfort and quality of our Hop-On Hop-Off service. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on board and provide you with a more enjoyable sightseeing experience in Barcelona.

Definitely need two plus...

Definitely need two plus hours for each route. Our bus driver took so many breaks during our trip, it took excessively too long.
