Itinerary
We offer you not one, but two itineraries with our hop-on hop-off bus trip so you can see everything Barcelona has to offer - and trust us, there's a lot to see! You can see this vibrant, international city at your own speed because you can get on and off at any stop.
With our Red Route, you'll be able to visit a lot of the tourist attractions in the city centre. Plaça de Catalunya, a bustling area that serves as a meeting point between the city's old and new parts, is the ideal place to start your exploration of Barcelona. From here, you'll proceed down Passeig de Gràcia, the priciest thoroughfare in all of Spain. This upscale street is teeming with opulent shops, breathtaking buildings, and excellent restaurants.
You will proceed via some of the most significant locations from the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona on Montjuïc. One of the most well-known hills in the city is this charming wooded one. There's a lot to do at the top, including breathtaking views, the magnificent Montjuïc castle, and the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, which is known for having the greatest collection of Romanesque art in the world. Take a hop off in the Mediaeval Gothic Quarter, and don't miss Plaça de Rei, where, if history is to be believed, Columbus first laid eyes on King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella following his return from the New World.
Take the Blue Route and go north to experience the most well-known creations of Antoni Gaudí. The amazing Sagrada Familia is a must-mention while discussing Barcelona. Get off right next to this architectural wonder that has taken more than a century to complete and is still being built. Admire its striking architecture and learn about the intriguing past of Spain's most popular structure.
Follow the Blue Route to Park Güell for another look into the creative imagination of Antoni Gaudí. Admire his vibrant, wavy, and curving architectural style, which is instantly recognisable and unique. Explore Barcelona's splendour from the luxury and security of our hop-on, hop-off bus!
