Barcelona metro sightseeing -

[Dymt]

During your ride on the Barcelona metro, are verbal announcements made regarding specific sights (i.e. "Next stop: sagrada familia") or does it just announce street names?

Just the station names

Yes you would need to know which station you need for exiting.

It is not hard to do. Suggest having a metro map prior to going on METRO.

It is VERY easy to get around Barcelona by metro.

 

This web site is a great resource for that (and Barcelona in general). Most often getting a T10 card is the best deal. You can read about that on this web site as well.

 

Have a great trip!

Well, today was our first day in Barcelona. My one fatal flaw was not contacting the credit card company and getting a chip/pin prior to the trip. We were unable to get a T10 because of it and therefore walked all over the city today. My husband wears a fitbit and clocked us at twelve miles by end of day. Not the smartest way to start our vacation in Europe!!

Wow, what a shame! I would have thought there'd be a kiosk somewhere where you could get tickets for cash, but not too surprising I guess.

 

Canada went chip and pin some years ago, but I remember the beginnings of the rumbling about them back in 2006--you could still get away with swiping. But no more, I guess.

There is a way to purchase Barcelona METRO tickets using Euros(bills).

Last year in Paris I used the Paris Metro app for my iphone and ipad. It made getting around Paris a breeze. I just checked and there is a similar iphone and ipad app for the Barcelona Metro. I will be downloading that for our trip next month. And the best thing is it is a free app.
