My Opinion of the Barcelona Bus Turístic
The Barcelona Bus Turístic is, in my experience, the best sightseeing bus option in the city. I used it when my grandmother visited Barcelona for the first time after her hip operation. It was perfect to give her an introduction to the sights around the city. We hopped off at a few stops to explore easy attractions and enjoy a meal. Overall, it was a very inexpensive and stress‑free way to discover Barcelona.
