    I like exploring the public transportation train systems when visiting large cities. Something about it is so exciting to me, so I had to check out what Barcelona's Metro was cooking up. I have to say that it did not disappoint! Everything I saw was very clean, fairly quiet, and there was good signage everywhere which made it relatively easy to find your way. The trains run on time and never seemed to be too far apart between each other. Using the Metro was super convenient and I never felt unsafe or like there was some shady-looking character on the trains as one sometimes can encounter on public trains in the bigger US cities. The system is very developed even within the train stations themselves, as some of them you have to take elevators and take the long descent to get to the platforms. And did I mention the inside of the trains were so clean?! I mean super duper clean so I was very impressed with how clean it all was. I also like that the trains had the accordion sections that I've only seen on buses before so it moves around as the train winds and turns around on the track. All in all, this made my first time a fun experience.

    As a visitor to Barcelona for the weekend, I found Metro is easy to use and the cost is really reasonable. A lot of different pricing option: Single Ticket for 2.15 Euro/ T10 for Muiltiple people and cost depends on the zone and of course the unlimited multi days passes. The ticket machines have English options and takes credit cards! Their system also integrated really well into Google Map makes travelling so much easier!

    This is one of the better subway systems I have been on. The stations and trains are clean for the most part, the trains are frequent, the signage is adequate. However, you really need to know where you are going, specifically the station or transfer point because it is easy to go in the wrong direction or miss your station. There really is no east/west/downtown directional signs, it's only station name and they are almost random names..but you'll get to know the major stations where the big destinations are. I took this from the airport, after exiting the arrivals, the cheapest will probably be the metro/subway (for a single person or pair). Follow the picture signs, and it will lead you to the station area. The best deal will be to get the Hola! BCN ticket, which are multiple day passes for unlimited rides on different systems (but i only rode the subway). If you plan correctly, the official website offered a 10% discount, in which you will get an email code to redeem at a machine. It really does work. The machines take credit cards or euros only. Other stations, it's pretty much the same setup, there should be multiple exits for each station, the exits are stated. If you need to transfer, it could be a few minutes walk to the other train via a tunnel and stairs and a maze. This is the part where you need to find the station, direction, and correct line color. I took the subway at different times of the day and never felt unsafe. There's always people on the train.

    The metro is one of the many ways which you can travel around Barcelona, the Catalan capital, in a town which also has so many yellow and black taxis, as well as trams and buses. As I'm a big lover of visiting cities, I've visited many Underground Railway systems which includes Madrid, Munich and London, I hate to say it but sadly Barcelona's is one of the worst. My main issues with the Barcelona network is the stations and the staff, most of the staff on the network even at the busiest and most touristy stations fail to speak much english, I did have someone try their best to help me, but they still really struggled and I didn't know whether they were telling me the truth or not, and I even began to consider whether it would be a good idea to get the tram or not. They seemed unwilling to look at my route map, I even had a member of staff send me in the total other direction by around 5 or 6 miles at the very least. There are 180 stations on the Barcelona metro, very few of them have wheelchair access and even those that do, could leave you walking around the station, off your platform, into one of the main lobbys where the esclators are and right down another platform. This is acceptable and makes it impossible for certain people to get the tube who might have difficulty including wheelchairs and the elderly. The trains inside didn't seem too nice either. The route map was complicated and there was no clear information about the station such as access or map available, meaning I had to use my own data to do a search to get basic information no one could tell me at more than one station. Overall, due to the many issues mentioned, the Metro certainly isn't a good way to travel around Barcelona so sadly deserves a single one star.

    Just another example of a major city's (hint hint LA) efficient, practical and vast public transport network. In this case, I only used the underground metro, not the bus routes which compliments the system. You can buy individual tickets, or get a book of them for a steep discount or better yet for residents, a monthly pass. Time of arrival of the next train is on a digital readout and the trains are nicely air conditioned, unlike the very warm platforms.

    Generally clean stations with lots of standing space

    I give this metro a 5 out of 5, why? Because I have found it to be the best metro I've ever been on. It is a clean, fast, and beautiful metro made just for the traveler. The entrances to the station have a straight forward layout and are spacious, as to not overcrowd during rush hour. The cladding on the walls and floor is some beautiful form of granite, with the ticketing machines being nice and clean too. One thing that is nice about this system is that it has a good layout and you get dropped off in reasonable places to get to even the outlying parts of the city (like the funicular under Montjüic). The only system in the western hemisphere that I believe rivals this is the metro in Washington D.C.

    A somewhat confusing system, however it seems popular and well used by locals and tourists alike.

The square of Espanya is a central transport hub in Barcelona. A few steps away from Square of Espanya, you will find the Font Magica. I came to Font Magica when it was New Year's Eve. So many tourists and citizens of Barcelona gathered at the Magica because they had known a customary venue when people gather on New Year's Eve. After I checked them by internet, I came to here. Around Font Magica is scalable in the view axis through the two brick towers, which are based on St.Mark's tower in Venice. The Palace behind Font Magica is the museum, National d'Art de Catalunya ( MNAC) After about 300 meters from the towers in the direction, you can find the palace National d' Art de Catalunya. You can see the event in free. At that time, I left the staying hotel at 20;30p.m on December 31, and I arrived at the Espanya square on foot. As soon as I arrived at here, there were so many people around the place. I tried to access near spot of Front Magica, but because of so many people, I couldn't get close to Magica fountain. So, I took my video clips of the event at a fairly distant distance. But I was so excited with this new year's Eve. I want to share this experience with you.

Aside from the aforementioned joining of roads, I'll just add that it's a an impressive joining of public transit routes for both bus lines, the metro, and around a 13-15 minute walk, a short bus ride or two stops on the metro over to Sants station (Pl. Espana stop to Sants Estació stop), which is the main train station in Barcelona. Additionally, airport shuttle buses (Aerobus) stop at Plaça d'Espanya about once every 20 minutes or so. You can buy a ticket on the bus (used to be cash only but I believe they take card now). The neighborhood directly around the square is a mix of residential and commercial, there is a good mix of casual mom and pop restaurants and mostly smaller establishments though that's just from some very cursory strolling in the area.

    I was disappointed that you can't buy tickets on the bus. You have to have the tickets in advance,…read moreeither in physical form, or on your phone with the app. But not with a handful of Euro, because the bus drivers can't take cash. We showed up expecting to be able to pay on the bus, and got an earful from the driver, who reluctantly let us board without paying a fare that we were unable to pay, not due to lack of funds, but because we didn't have the app, and there was no signal, and he wanted to get going on the route... The driver was good about raising and lowering the bus for a wheelchair. The subways are okay- most of the subway stations are handicapped accessible, so you could get in and out through small elevators. Small. Small. Small elevators. Small. But most of the elevators don't stink as bad as some other major cities' subway stations. The signage is generally pretty okay, making it hard to get lost in. Some of the arrows are cryptic about where they're pointing to in the station. The stations and the trains and buses were all clean. Pretty spotless, in fact. Devoid of panhandlers, graffiti, or people sleeping, for the most part. It was a bit frustrating with attendants who didn't know where they were, or ticket machines that were broken. Speaking of the ticket machines- it seemed that the best deal was that 10 ride pass, but beware- it is only good for one rider. You can't, for example, have ten people ride once from one station. It cuts you off after the first fare. Overall, the Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona helped me get around pretty well and comfortably.

    Barcelona isn't a complete transit paradise for exploring the city, but it is damn close…read more Just your options alone are astounding. You're never all that far from a metro/subway or bus stop. There are also some trams/streetcars and a regional/commuter rail service available. Night buses take over at night. Traffic really does almost disappear in a lot of the city so these buses go fast. These services all come frequently(!), are on time (!!), tickets are affordable (!!!) and...get this, are actually pretty clean (!!!!). I will say that the trams that are available aren't exactly incredibly fast, but they'll get you to where you need to go in an overall mostly straight/direct line. Tips for tourists: SKIP THE HOLA CARD. Of course this may vary but my number crunching is you would generally need to make several transit trips each day to make AND do a lot of the big sights/museums to make it worth your while. Do the math. Otherwise, get a T-10 (one ticket good for 10 uses) T-10: One ticket for 10 uses. Paper ticket. Probably the biggest disappointment is there isn't a tap card for short term uses. I guess there is for residents. You can use your credit card at the ticket machines (!!!!!). See, it is pretty close to paradise. Except for the paper tickets. Boo on paper tickets!
