METRO
BUS AND BUS TURISTIC
It is the easiest way of getting around and reaches most places you are likely to visit, including the airport. The metro is supplemented by a few train lines.

The metro runs from Monday to Thursday (plus Sundays and holidays) from 5:00 am to 24:00 pm; Friday, Saturday and the day before public holidays from 5:00 am to 2:00 am.
Buses run from 5:00 am to 11:00 pm. Many routes pass through Plaça de Catalunya and/or Plaça de la Universitat. After 11:00 pm night buses run until 3:00 to 5:00 am. Bus turistic service covers two circuits linking virtually all the major tourist sights.
Taxis cost about €1,5 flagfall plus meter charges. A green light on the roof means the taxi is free.
