    Why Barcelona's metro ?


    A number of answers could be given to the question "Why use the Barcelona metro ? ; such as : the Barcelona metro is pleasant and air-conditioned, the lines run every day, we can move easily and quickly from one point to another, day or night, or say that the metro in Barcelona is clean.
    But there are three important points to consider to understand why it is better to visit Barcelona by public transport.

    - First of all, note that not all car models can circulate in Barcelona 7 days a week.
    In fact, Barcelona City Hall, as well as 200 other municipalities in Europe, do not authorise access to polluting vehicles in the ZBE zone (Low Emission Zone), and this with the aim of ensuring good air quality and combating climate change.
    However, Barcelona remains accessible every day of the week from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. , as well as weekends and public holidays.
    For more information about how to get to Barcelona by car at any time of the week, go to the page "VehiclesEstrangers" of ambmobilitat.cat website.

    - On the other hand, it's good to know that if your car complies with traffic conditions in the Catalan capital, you will have to find a place to park for each of your visits.
    Note that the city of Barcelona has many pedestrian streets, which limits the number of places where you can stop ; in addition, among the parking spaces you will find, blue or green, you'll need to calculate your journey time carefully to avoid a fine.
    Please note that payment for blue seats is for a maximum of 4 hours, and that the green spaces that were designed for the residents of the neighbourhood, but which may also be parked, the price is more expensive than the blue seats and can be credited for a maximum of 2 hours.

    - And for additional information, an essential advantage of using the Barcelona metro and other public transport services in the city, is that they can drop you off right at the tourist attractions and monuments that you want to see.

    The Sagrada Familia metro station takes you right up to the monument ;

    The Passeig de Gracia metro stop takes you to the entrance to Casa Batllo ;
    The Jaume 1 station takes you just 2 steps from Barcelona Cathedral ;
    Liceu or Drassanes stations bring you to the heart of the Ramblas ;
    The Espanya metro stop leads you to the foot of Montjuic hill ;
