The Barcelona Tourist bus, the Bus Turistic, is a fabulous way of seeing the major sites of this incredible city.
These double decker buses – with air conditioning downstairs and an open top deck – take visitors past all nine of Barcelona's World Heritage sites; and much more besides. Running all day from 9 am until the last bus leaves Plaa Catalunya at 8 pm in the summer – and sometimes with a frequency of one every five minutes – the bus has two different two hour circuits that passengers can choose from. There are, additionally, six stops that are common to both routes – the Red and the Blue – so you can travel on one after the other – or go and have a coffee and then come back to take the second loop! There is a third, shorter Green Route, during the summer which takes you from Port Olmpic along the sea front out to the Forum.
