    ![Public Transport](https://2gbzzxp7mkrqpgpz.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/barca-card/barcelona_public_transport_card_00.webp)

    ## Overview

    Barcelona's integrated transport network (TMB) covers metro, bus, tram and some suburban lines. Travel cards offer zone‑based access and can be paired with attraction bundles.

    ## Choosing a card

    - Short stay: single or 10‑trip ticket (T‑10) may suffice.  
    - Multi‑day: 2/3/4/5‑day travel cards reduce per‑day cost and simplify transfers.

    ## Airport transfer comparison

    - Aerobus: direct, luggage‑friendly, and frequent between airport and Plaça Catalunya.  
    - Bundled airport transfers: convenient but verify pick‑up points and refund policies.

    ## Practical tips

    - Validate zone coverage if you plan a day trip (e.g., Montserrat).  
    - Use contactless payments when accepted to avoid ticket machines; retain receipts for disputes.
