Tony, Thanks for the video. my husband and I is going to visit Barcelona and Madrid in October. so much homework need to be done.

Don't mention it! You should check out our essential guide to Barcelona kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3ubcmeGfadlapo and Madrid kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4HCl5Kfbtt6rsk , a good starting point for your preparations. Have a lovely trip!

Hope you make videos about all the places, like Rome, we are going to Rome too, I like your video because so simple and so detailed. Thank you a ton.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Delighted to hear that. We will be publishing videos on Lisbon before the end of the year, but that’s as far as we plan to go. Have a great trip.

[@gnm800]

Tony, Thank you very much for this informative video. We took the Turistic bus. Each line takes about two hours to complete. The upper deck obviously has better views, but it can be cold in January, especially by the end of the day. A tip: I recommend keeping the earphones from the bus for the rest of the trip. They can be useful when visiting Casa Battlo and Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, since they don't provide earphones.

[@gnm800]

The radio guide on the bus is good but can be much better. There were many long periods of background music during the ride, which really should be replaced with some interesting information such as Catalonya's history, culture, industry, famous people, cuisine, music, the sardana and flamenco dances, the ban on bullfighting...

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Thank you, Liu, glad you enjoyed the bus ride! Thanks for the tip about the earphones.

[@SA-ip3yw]

Can I hop off for example at camp nou and then hop on and wait for the next bus ? Or it is( not allowed )to do that? .. I heared you said I have to wait but I dont think I will wait for a long time in summer bc it is high season🙃

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Yes, you can do that, no problem at all. You can hop off wherever you like. And then hop on the bus again. You will have to wait until the next bus comes around. Just that.

[@toddzickel2548]

Thank you! Where are the departure points? Only Pl Cataluna? or can you depart from Airport T1/ T2. I know its hop off and hop on so there are various points to exit and enter but where is the closest departure point from the airport? I love your videos and will be traveling soon.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

From a later comment we take you have realized the bus doesn't go anywhere near the airport.

[@geraldineperez7349]

Tony! Necesito ayuda Porfavor… estoy en barcelona siguiendo todos tus consejos pero necesito porfavor que me digas la mejor ruta para el aeropuerto- el Prat… desde la estación de metro “La barceloneta” Gracias!!!

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Buenos días, Geraldine, oye, tenemos un vídeo en español explicando cómo es el transporte del aeropuerto aquí: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moa2lHubi9Rlnc0 Te va a ser más útil (y un lugar perfecto para tu pregunta) que este vídeo en inglés donde hablamos del autobús turístico de Barcelona.

[@toddzickel2548]

Which bus is the red route? That would've been nice to include. Thanks for all of your work

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

The red route is run by the Barcelona Bus Turistic.

[@ahmedturki155]

Thanks Tony.Just wondering if I can buy the tourist bus ticket online and get the ticket printed at the airport as the same as for Hola Barcelona card??

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

If you buy the bus ticket online, you print the voucher at home and then exchange it the moment you board a tourist bus for the firs time.

[@ahmedturki155]

@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thanks you are the best in providing useful information to tourists visiting Barcelona 👍🏻

[@EmaBorges1212]

Hello! Nice video! One question: how much time does it takes to complete the two routs? Thanks 😊

[@Stevorc1]

Each route (red and blue) are about two hours each without hopping off any stop.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hi Ema, we've done both routes endless times and it depends a lot on the state of traffic in the core of the centre of Barcelona. Sometimes it takes 1 hour an a half, sometimes 2 hours, as pointed out by Stevorc1.

[@jillybukikay9744]

do you know how long it usually take to complete the red or blue route without getting off starting from plaza catalunya?

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

It depends a lot on the traffic in the city, but you can estimate between 90 minutes and 2 hours.

[@RogierYou]

🙏

[@cjsprintables5857]

If we take the Blue Route, starting at Plaza Catalunya, is the Plaza where we would transfer to a different bus for the Red Route or do the buses constantly loop between both routes one after the other?

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Each bus does one specific route. If you want to do the full routes, the best place to change buses is in Plaza Catalunya. Each route has a stop on opposite ends of the square.

[@cjsprintables5857]

@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you so much! This sounds perfect for my daughter and I, as we will be arriving on May 4th from Canada for only have a couple of days until we board our cruise ship on the 6th.

[@manilagirlnails7333]

Do you have to get on exactly at 9 am or can you go a little bit after?

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

You can board the bus whenever you want.

[@clubmogambo3214]

Based on the two routes, it looks the Blue would be a better fit for my wife and I.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

But you are not restricted to any route, the ticket allows you to ride all the routes.

Hi, We are planning to visit Barcelona for a day from PortAventura. We're going by train from PortAventura but should we get off at Barcelona Sants station if We would like to go for blue line bus route?

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hi, didn't quite understand what you intend to do, Port Aventura and the tourist bus in the same day? Is that it?

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

@@benignoalilio7961 understood. If you watch the video you will see all the stops along the two routes.

[@toddzickel2548]

Ok, based on the map, it appears that I should take the train from T2 to Sants and then hop on there to start the bus tour? Thanks!! Multi-tasking so maybe I should do 1 focused vid at a time.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

You can take it in Sants or, if you take bus 46, you could take the tourist bus on Plaza de España.

[@toddzickel2548]

but I thought the T Casual isn't good on buses from the airport. I have a few hours before I can check in so I thought I'd take the hop on hop off. What is the most effective way to do that? I figured taking the train from T2 like your vid shows and go to Sants and from Sants, I was hoping to jump on the hop on hop off bus. Does this make sense? @@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal
