About Hola Barcelona Public Transport Card
The Hola Barcelona Travel Card provides unlimited access to the city's public transport, including buses, trams, metro, and trains, for a selected number of days. Updated for 2026 with T-mobilitat smart card technology, the card is now durable, water-resistant, and fully contactless — simply tap it against the reader to board any included service without fumbling for tickets, worrying about zones, or queuing at vending machines. It is reusable — if you decide to stay longer, you can top it up directly at metro vending machines. BarcelonaHolabarcelona
The Hola Barcelona card allows you to travel in Zone 1 of the metropolitan network — the whole of Barcelona and a number of other towns around the Catalan capital. The transport pass is perfect for visitors as it covers all the city's monuments and tourist attractions. The network covered is genuinely comprehensive — all Barcelona metro lines, a return journey on Metro Line 9S linking Barcelona Airport to the city centre, FGC urban rail services in Zone 1, daytime TMB buses, the Barcelona tramway, Zone 1 Rodalies regional commuter trains, and the NitBus night bus. The airport inclusion alone represents significant savings — without the Hola Barcelona Card, a separate return airport ticket costs €11.80 in 2026. Barcelona.com + 2

Insiders' Tips
Activate the card on your first full day in Barcelona rather than the evening of arrival — the 24, 48, 72, 96, or 120-hour clock starts from your first tap and you want every hour counting toward full sightseeing days. Exchange your online voucher for a physical card at any metro vending machine on arrival — the card is contactless and far faster than fumbling with individual tickets at busy metro gates. The card is personal and non-transferable — one card per person.

The collection process is quick and available at major stations across the city from early morning.

Advance booking is recommended to secure the best available rate and to have your voucher ready to exchange on arrival without queuing at tourist information offices. Booking through Thrillark saves up to 15% on the standard rate with instant confirmation and your chosen duration secured before you travel to Barcelona.
Can I use the Hola Barcelona Card on the night bus?
Yes — the NitBus night bus in Barcelona Zone 1 is included. The NitBus network covers the city during the hours when the Metro is closed — particularly useful for late-night returns from restaurants, bars, and events throughout the city.
