Overview

No matter what cruise ship you arrive on, this is the perfect do-it-yourself shore excursion in Barcelona. This double-decker open-top bus tour can be met at the Port of Barcelona (Port Olímpic - stop 3), which is a 15-minute walk from the cruise terminals. A hop-on hop-off tour is the best way for cruise passengers to get around the city. Get a bird's-eye view of the cobbled medieval streets of Las Ramblas, discover the Port Olímpic beachfront promenade, see the famous F.C. Barcelona Football Stadium and much more.

You can hop on and off the tour as many times as you like aboard this sliding-roof double-decker bus. There are two tour routes, the Green Route and the Orange Route, and they are interconnected so you can easily hop between them to discover the best of Barcelona while your ship is in port. Your ticket is valid on BOTH routes.

What To Expect

Green Route of Barcelona City Tour

14 Stops | 36 Points of Interest


Duration: 2 hours


Operating Schedule: In winter (November–March), the service begins at 9:00 from various stops, and the last departure leaves at 18:00 from Plaça Catalunya. In summer (April–October), the service begins at 9:00 from various stops, and the last departure leaves at 19:00 from Plaça Catalunya.

Plaça de Catalunya

Thanks to its central location, it is the most accessible point in Barcelona. If you are looking for the most comfortable way to arrive, the Barcelona City Tour is your best ally. You can find our "Plaça Catalunya" stop in our Green Route which provides a direct connection to almost every other point of interest, saving you the complications of underground transport. Furthermore, the square is the main public transport interchange: it is where metro lines (L1 and L3), commuter trains (Rodalies), Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat (FGC), and the Aerobús (connecting directly to El Prat Airport) all meet.

Arc de Triomf

If you want to reach Barcelona’s Arc de Triomf, you can do so using metro line 1 or the commuter train network, Rodalies. However, the smartest way to visit this historic landmark is by taking our Green Route on the Barcelona City Tour, which has a dedicated stop called “Arc de Triomf”. You will be able to reach your destination while avoiding the usual problems of public transport and enjoying a journey with views of the city.

Passeig de Picasso

El Born Ciutadella Zoo Stop. On board our Hop-On Hop-Off tourist bus, you will have the opportunity to reach your destination in comfort while enjoying the best views of the city. This stop belongs to the Green Route of the Barcelona City Tour.
