Bus turistic

Short on time but want to see as much of Barcelona's sights and attractions as possible? The Barcelona bus turistic is the perfect answer. Sit back, bask in the Autumn sun on the top deck of the bus and take in the sights with an informative and entertaining commentary as you go. With a total of 44 stops over two main routes with a bus turístic ticket you've got most of the city covered and easily reached from your barcelona apartment

The Northern routes encompasses many of the main sights of Gaudi's Barcelona from La Pedrera to Sagrada Familia and Park Guell in the North of the city. Meanwhile the Southern route takes visitors to Sants, Plaça de Espanya, Mont Juic (including the Olympic Village and Fundació Joan Miró), then down to the seafront and old port. During the summer months a third route 'Forum' runs round the sea front, new town and up to el Forum.

Tickets cost 19 euros per day for an adult, raising to only 23 euros for a two day (consecutive) ticket and can be used on any route. Tickets can be bought in advance at tourist information centres, Sants Station or online or alternatively onboard the bus. What's more, with your ticket you will be given a booklet of discount vouchers such as reductions on entrance to Sagrada Familia, some restaurants and even on F.C. Barcelona tickets.

Trust me, I'm normally against these over-touristy things but this really is worthwhile.
