MOBILITY IN BARCELONA Brief Recommendations We recommend to buy a T-10 card (1 zone): Multi-person travel card valid for 10 intermodal journeys. Passengers have 75 minutes between the first and last validation when changing lines or mode of transport. Price: 9 80. Be aware that public transportation in Barcelona can be a little bit confusing. Have a look at the public transportation logos in this document to see the differences. We recommend you to walk around the city centre, but keep an eye on your belongings, especially in Las Ramblas and in the subway. There are pickpockets who easily recognize tourists. Normally nothing happens, but take care of your valuable items. Note that FGC trains have a low frequency on Saturday. Check the maps below to find out the different C MUN places.
