It was so easy to get the tickets at the airport information desk. The lady we dealt with was so polite and professional. Picked up the tickets, headed to the Metro and off to the hotel. We used the Barcelona card to gain discounted access to some muesums, the cable car and the aquarium. The card is a must - the discounts may be small in some locations, but they do add up. Well worth it.

Hello everyone, there is talk of unlimited public transportation. But you can only get on red and white buses. The metro worked great, the Rondalies streetcar was unreliable 6 times out of 10, stops were skipped and there was no visual information, only announcements in Spanish.

Instructions for redeeming this ticket were not clear at all. Had a lot of trouble finding out how to exchange this voucher for the real pass. Need more specific address for the catalunya booth. Was given incorrect instructions from metro staff everywhere. This was advertised as refundable and cancellable, it was not.

The card worked after I received it. Unfortunately, I received it a whole day late and was told that I would not get anything back. As the electricity was out for a whole day in Spain, this was an unforeseen event. I realize this, but I would have liked a refund for one day

If you have a late flight, you cannot immediately use the ticket to travel from the airport to your downtown destination. Still had to buy another ticket for metro and could only use the 96h ticket the day after. Otherwise, we were satisfied with it.

You can move around Barcelona very flexibly. The metro is also pleasant. The buses are already unpleasantly overcrowded. If you book in advance via Headout, you can only get tickets from certain information points. We therefore had to pay an additional 5 euros for the journey there. You could have bought the Hola Barcelona ticket from any ticket machine.

Great ticket and it worked great. Suggestions for improvement: You don't know exactly when the hours have expired, so you have to be very careful when using it for the first time. Card bends quickly. An app on your cell phone would be cool!

First the digital purchase and app but you have to print it out afterwards and can't drive directly via the QR code in the app. What a pity. I couldn't print it out at the airport, the next morning I needed a ticket because I had to go to an appointment and couldn't go to a tourist information office to print it out. It could be fully digitalized. Thank you

These passes are very practical and recommended if you're staying in Barcelona. However, be careful. If you buy them online, you can only pick them up at certain times in certain places. Don't be fooled like me if you arrive late in Barcelona, you won't be able to collect them until the following day. You can buy exactly the same passes from kiosks at any time, especially at the airport.

I have never visited so many museums in Barcelona. The ticket allows you to visit museums that would otherwise not have been on your itinerary. Unfortunately, the ticket redemption is very inconvenient, especially the metro ticket, which I would have liked to have immediately on the evening of arrival and not the next morning.

The big problem is finding an office where you can change your e-ticket. It's badly indicated and poorly explained on the app and at the time of purchase. It's also important to specify which museums are free and which are discounted, as well as the percentage discount, and to state clearly that aerobus is not included.

As a first-time visitor to Barcelona, I found it a bit less straightforward than expected to figure out how to get the metro pass and the attraction card. I really appreciated that many museums were free to access with the card, but in hindsight, I wish I had chosen the other pass that included entry to the Gaudí museums, as those were the main attractions I was hoping to visit. Unfortunately, I only realized this later on. Overall, I loved the convenience of simply showing my Barcelona Card at the counter and receiving my ticket—it made the experience so much smoother.

The Picasso museum was a highlight of our visit to Barcelona. We also visited the modern art museum. We love that the passport is good for a year. There was a bit of a hiccup picking up the pasees as my husband was redirected to another location. Might want to correct that.

It was great to be able to skip the lines, particularly at the Picasso Museum. My trip coincided with the blockbuster Miro/Picasso show that appears at both the Picasso Museum and Miro Foundation so having those 2 museums as part of the pass was important. Otherwise I explored a number of museums I wouldn't necessarily have gone to. I loved the National Art Museum of Catalonia which has an incredible collection of church frescoes saved from across small villages in the Pyrenees as well as an interesting modern art collection. I was a bit disappointed by the MACBA but saw a great AI exhibit at the neighboring CCIB that I would normally never have thought to visit.

We attempted to use our voucher Casa Mila and they said the voucher did not work. It worked for the other venues we visited. Since Saha had already scanned it and denied us entry we attempted to use our last voucher on a different site and was told it has expired or been used up. I think I should get a partial refund since I only got to use it on 4 venues instead of three.

It was so easy to get the tickets at the airport information desk. The lady we dealt with was so polite and professional. Picked up the tickets, headed to the Metro and off to the hotel. We used the Barcelona card to gain discounted access to some muesums, the cable car and the aquarium. The card is a must - the discounts may be small in some locations, but they do add up. Well worth it.

Hello everyone, there is talk of unlimited public transportation. But you can only get on red and white buses. The metro worked great, the Rondalies streetcar was unreliable 6 times out of 10, stops were skipped and there was no visual information, only announcements in Spanish.

Instructions for redeeming this ticket were not clear at all. Had a lot of trouble finding out how to exchange this voucher for the real pass. Need more specific address for the catalunya booth. Was given incorrect instructions from metro staff everywhere. This was advertised as refundable and cancellable, it was not.

The card worked after I received it. Unfortunately, I received it a whole day late and was told that I would not get anything back. As the electricity was out for a whole day in Spain, this was an unforeseen event. I realize this, but I would have liked a refund for one day

If you have a late flight, you cannot immediately use the ticket to travel from the airport to your downtown destination. Still had to buy another ticket for metro and could only use the 96h ticket the day after. Otherwise, we were satisfied with it.

It was easy to use. There was some confustion at the airport as to which QR code was the correct one. The gentleman scanning tickets said I didn't have an AeroBus ticket and it was only the Hola Barcelona ticket. But I was able to find the correct QR code that worked. Since I am unfamiliar with the BCN airport or the language I did watch the videos on how to exit the airport to the bus stop and that was helpful.

You can move around Barcelona very flexibly. The metro is also pleasant. The buses are already unpleasantly overcrowded. If you book in advance via Headout, you can only get tickets from certain information points. We therefore had to pay an additional 5 euros for the journey there. You could have bought the Hola Barcelona ticket from any ticket machine.

Rooms at MACBA Barcelona
Room 1
In Room 1 of MACBA Barcelona, you will find art forms from the first few decades of the 20th century. The artists experimented with materials and different forms during this time and everyone valued originality a lot. The main trend that can be seen during this time is the creation of utopian and universal artistic languages with the help of an analytical approach.
Room 2
If you wish to see the works from the time of the Spanish Civil War, then check out room 2 at MACBA. Here, you can see the works of artists and filmmakers where they put forth their political ideologies through aesthetical means. Currently, Pere Portabella’s Aidez l’Espagne is on display in this exhibition room.
Room 3 & 4
These exhibition rooms display the works generated after the end of the Second World War and the Spanish Civil War. Artists used abstract geometry and concrete art in their works to understand the nature of humanity after so much war and violence. There are several works displayed in this exhibition room at MACBA including Joan Miro’s Oiseau, Femme, Tete, etc.
Room 5
This exhibition room displays pop art and psychedelia that emerged after the counterculture revolution of the 1960s. Fluttering Hearts by Marcel Duchamp, Atomic Kiss by Joan Rabascall, Instant City by Roberto Mardones, etc. are a few highlights of this exhibition.
Room 6
In this room, visitors can examine the art from the sixties and seventies when Minimalism was prominent among the artists. Check out artworks such as Condensation Cube by Hans Haacke, Mass Media by Joan Rabascall, The Beatles by Richard Hamilton, and more in this MACBA exhibition room.
Room 7 & 8
During the late sixties and seventies, the era of radical feminism and feminist activism emerged. So, these exhibition rooms focus on the artworks by women artists who used the objectification of women in their art and mass media to convey the message.
Room 9
Check out the works from the eighties when artists focused their art in the streets or beyond the studios. Graffitis, comics, posters, etc. were popular artworks of this time. Also, the pop culture and celebrity cult resulted in the creation of new art forms such as music video, MTV, fanzines, and more.
Famous Artists at MACBA
Ignassi Aballi

Eduardo Chillida
Eduardo Chillida pursued drawing and sculpture in 1947 and while his earlier works used stone, he incorporated iron later on in his work too. His work focuses on three main ideas: space, the limit, and the void. He became internationally recognized after his first major exhibition at Galerie Maeght in Paris in 1956. At MACBA Museum Barcelona, you can admire several of his works such as Iru Burni, Down-Town, Barcelona, Mural G-333, and more.
Dora Garcia
A unique artist, Dona Garcia’s work depends on audience participation. The audience is asked to take a side on an ethical issue, analyze the questions, and then reflect on it as they view the artworks in the exhibitions. MACBA Museum currently displays three of his famous artworks – El Reino, The Joycean Society, and Exhausted Books.
MACBA Exhibitions
In Real Time. Rafael Tous Collection of Conceptual Art
Rafael Tous Collection of Conceptual Art was donated to MACBA a year ago. Built by Rafael Tous, this collection includes conceptual art made using diverse practices by a group of artists. It shows how a generation chose to participate in exhibitions held in cultural spaces instead of the more conventional art venues. Through this exhibition, you discover the experimental practices of the 1970s and 1980s in Catalonia including socio-political critique, action art, interaction with nature, and much more.
Notes for an Eye Fire
The first exhibition in a new series of projects called Panorama, Notes for an Eye Fire primarily focuses on the artistic and aesthetic practices in and around Barcelona. It is a collection of specially commissioned works including painting, video installation, photography, sculpture, works on paper, and more. These works showcase concerns and leitmotifs risen out of studio visits and communication with the art community which includes the city’s self-image, gender dissidence, ideas of belonging and reparation, relationship with nonhuman life, and so on.
Repair Manuals and Cosmic Sounds
This is an expanded exhibition that uses graphics, texts, and audio publications to address the climate crisis and how to manage the resources. In this exhibition, you see cassettes, vinyls, posters, essays, sound experiences, and more that will lead you to think about ways to exist on this planet by forming an ecofeminist and ecosocial alliance.

As a first-time visitor to Barcelona, I found it a bit less straightforward than expected to figure out how to get the metro pass and the attraction card.
I really appreciated that many museums were free to access with the card, but in hindsight, I wish I had chosen the other pass that included entry to the Gaudí museums, as those were the main attractions I was hoping to visit. Unfortunately, I only realized this later on.
Overall, I loved the convenience of simply showing my Barcelona Card at the counter and receiving my ticket—it made the experience so much smoother.

The "passport" is exactly as described and works perfectly. No reservation is needed even for temporary ones. For each passport, it is possible to have a "guest" person (paying his or her own fee) skip the line with you. You can pick it up at each of the scheduled museums.

United Statesnov, 2023
It was great to be able to skip the lines, particularly at the Picasso Museum. My trip coincided with the blockbuster Miro/Picasso show that appears at both the Picasso Museum and Miro Foundation so having those 2 museums as part of the pass was important. Otherwise I explored a number of museums I wouldn't necessarily have gone to. I loved the National Art Museum of Catalonia which has an incredible collection of church frescoes saved from across small villages in the Pyrenees as well as an interesting modern art collection. I was a bit disappointed by the MACBA but saw a great AI exhibit at the neighboring CCIB that I would normally never have thought to visit.
