Many cities have city passes. Barcelona is no exception. The city pass, known as ‘Turbopass Barcelona’ includes many attractions – it really is excellent value for money; you can save €45,00 on free entry to some of the key attractions from the very start, before you start subtracting other benefits of the pass. From your top-notch holiday apartments in Barcelona you can travel the city and see the sites at a healthily reduced price.

Buying a city pass has plenty of advantages. You can see more and spend less at the major attractions and museums, veto through the queues, and get across the city from place to place for free.

Specifically, what you can get for your Barcelona city pass is free entry to La Sagrada Familia (a saving of €15,00) and the Olympic Museum. Also, you can get free entry to Casa de les Punxes (the ‘House of Spikes’, built in 1905 in Catalan nouveau art style by architect Sant Jordi), a saving of €12,50; a 35-minute harbour tour of Las Golondrinas (a saving of €7,50) including the Marina, fishing harbour and freight port. Finally, entry is also free to the Circuit de Barcelona – Catalunya, a guided tour on the race course in Montmeló (a further saving of €10,00).

Costing €79,90 for one adult for a two-day pass rising to up to €129,90 for a five day pass, the Turbopass is a must even for short breaks away. If you’re savvy you can book in advance at the Turbopass.com website. At Lugaris.com you can combine it with your hotel needs too.

The three, four and five-day city passes entitle you to a one-day ticket for a hop-on, hop-off sightseeing bus tour with an audio guide on three different routes – a saving of up to €30,00. With 44 stops planned into the three routes by Touristic of Barcelona buses, you can find yourself entering a world of famous sights and the coastline. The audio guide is available in 16 languages in total. Buses leave every 5-25 minutes.

There are also discounts to other attractions and buildings. A €5,00 discount is applicable on a new virtual reality attraction – known as the ‘Past View Experience’. It entitles visitors to time-travel using virtual and augmented reality, via 360 degree smartglasses that let you see all around you. Time-travellers can travel back into virtual reality 3D infographic reconstructions and for two hours of their life can see Barcelona as it was in different centuries.

Gaudi’s two houses – Casa Vicens (the first house of Gaudi) and Casa Milà: La Pedrera (‘stone pit’) the house with an inconsistent façade and magnificent rooftop deck – can be visited for a 20% reduction with the Turbopass. Truthfully, unless you’ve visited this and Gaudi’s famous La Sagrada Familia basilica, you ain’t been to Barcelona!

You can skip queues at the basilica too, with ‘fast-track’ entry. With the tourists en masse in midsummer, you might want to be a step ahead of the rest. Another place you can skip the queue is at the Fundació Joan Miró (Art museum Miró). This is a museum that offers free entry as well as La Sagrada Familia basilica – a further saving of €12,00. Like its namesake, the museum is dedicated to the works of Joan Miró and also by other modern artists including Alexander Calder. 

Other benefits of the Turbopass Barcelona are the free map of the city and travel brochure. You may find yourself shopping too – and if you do, there is free public transport with the pass, and discounts on leisure activities such as sports. The discounts are as follows: Barcelona Moto Rent (20%), Icebarcelona (20%) – a beach-bar made entirely of ice, Shopping Express a la Roca Village (20%), Malamar Wakepark (25%) – a 200 meter big pool where you can learn how to wakeboard with pro riders and teachers, the Casino de Barcelona – where admission is free with a welcome drink thrown in. The Gaudi Centre Reus (25% discount), Jet ski (15% discount) and Barcelona Rent a Bike is discounted to €2,00 only.

There really is quite a lot to do with your city pass. Without spending outside of your one easy purchase, you can enjoy Barcelona’s best attractions and you won’t be lost for things to do. Children can view the city at reduced rates too – the children’s prices for a Turbopass are split into three age groups – 4-10 years, 11-12 years and 13-17 years. Other attractions offered either free or a discounted price include Torre de Collserola or the television tower (60% discount), and Illa Fantasia water park (20% discount). The Turbopass is a good way for a family to enjoy the sights Barcelona has to offer without being too out of pocket. And it beats some other city passes which don’t offer nearly as many attractions or transport options.

Traveling is good for the soul. The thing that you don’t see every day around can be perceived once you step outside your comfort zone. Some people prefer to visit the nearby local places. But, others are willing to spend hours and even days just to see the world even better. Whichever way that captures your interest most, you must do it with your heart. As you open your eyes to everything, you would be able to accept more of reality.

It is true that we all have our favorite place in this world. Yet, some can’t handle staying in the same place without moving an inch outside their comfort zone. Traveling is one way to become more open-minded. It allows you to see the reality of other people around you. And, there’s no denying how some people would want to travel in a foreign land as well.
