Barcelona is one of the most exciting cities in Europe, but it can come with a hefty price tag. But there is one way you may be able to keep costs down.
The Go City® Barcelona All-Inclusive Pass gives you free entry to many of its top attractions and activities. But is it worth buying?
Short answer: for most first-time visitors packing a lot into two or more days, yes. Add in fast-track entry at some attractions and not having to queue to buy individual tickets, and it’s a no-brainier.

How I used my Go City Barcelona Pass
I bought a 2-day pass on my last trip and started at La Sagrada Família on the first morning. From there I walked to La Pedrera and Casa Batlló, catching the hop-on hop-off bus up to Park Güell in the afternoon. Four attractions in one day, all free on the pass, and I hadn’t queued once.
By the end of day one I had already covered what the pass cost me. I used day two on the Picasso Museum and a Gothic Quarter tapas tasting, both included, and both things I would have paid for anyway.
My one tip from experience: book Park Güell and La Sagrada Família as soon as you activate the pass. Both need a reserved slot and the good times go first.
How it works
The Barcelona Pass is a digital sightseeing pass with free entry to many of the city’s top attractions and tours, some with fast-track admission so you can skip the queue.
Like the London Pass, you choose the duration of your pass – 2, 3, 4 or 5 days – then download this to the Go City® app, smartphone or print a physical copy. At each attraction or tour, someone scans the pass’s QR code or takes your pass number.
Your pass activates the first time you use it, and it runs for consecutive days from that point. A 3-day pass started on a Thursday covers Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Within that window you can visit as many included attractions as you can fit in. There is a maximum purse value, but it is generous enough that most travellers will not come close to it.
How much does the Barcelona Pass cost?
The cost of the Barcelona All-Inclusive Pass depends on duration. The longer the pass, the cheaper it works out per day.
Adult prices apply to those aged 16 and over; child prices are for those aged 4 to 12.
Figures below are full face value as of July 2026. Check current prices here as discounts often run.
- 2-Day Pass – Adult €189 | Child €119
- 3-Day Pass – Adult €229 | Child €159
- 4-Day Pass – Adult €269 | Child €189
- 5-Day Pass – Adult €299 | Child €209
What is included in the Barcelona Pass?
At the last count, more than 50 attractions and tours were included in this Barcelona Pass, among them La Sagrada Família, Casa Batlló, Park Güell, La Pedrera, Casa Vicens, Camp Nou, the Barcelona Cable Car, a flamenco show and the Aquàrium de Barcelona.
You can check the full list on the official website.
You’ll need to book a few of the included attractions in advance, including La Sagrada Família and Park Güell, and these are clearly highlighted on the website.
Casa Batlló
La Sagrada Familia
- Hypostyle Hall, Park Güell, Barcelona
Transport & tours
City transport itself is not included, but the pass does cover some good ways to get around and see the sights:
- Barcelona City Tour hop-on hop-off bus, 24-hour ticket, two routes running year-round
- Las Golondrinas boat cruise, a one-hour trip out on the water
- Barcelona Segway tour, a fun two-hour way to cover ground
There is also a good selection of walking tours and food and wine tastings on the pass.
What is not included
Even to my critical eye, the pass is pretty comprehensive. Notable exclusions include the Fundació Joan Miró and the Palau de la Música Catalana.
How does it compare to other Barcelona passes?
The Go City Barcelona Pass is not the only option. Here is how it stacks up against the main alternatives, prices as of July 2026, adult rates for a 2 to 3 day trip.
| Pass | Best for | Sagrada Família / Park Güell | Transport | From |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Go City All-Inclusive (this pass) | Packing in several paid attractions a day | Yes, both included | Hop-on hop-off bus | €189 / 2 days |
| Go City Explorer Pass | Shorter trips or a shorter attraction list | Yes, choose them as your picks | Not included | €114 / 3 picks |
| Barcelona Card | Museum-focused trips using public transport a lot | No (upgrade to All-In Barcelona Card to include) | Unlimited metro, bus and tram | €59 / 3 days |
| Articket BCN | Art and design museums specifically | No | Not included | €38, valid 12 months |
| Hola Barcelona Travel Card | Anyone who just needs to get around, no attractions | No, transport only | Unlimited metro, bus, tram and airport train | €27.30 / 3 days |
If Sagrada Família and Park Güell are on your list, the Go City passes are the only ones in this table that include them. The Barcelona Card wins if your trip leans more toward museums and heavy public transport use.
The Hola Barcelona Card may be worth adding as it includes the airport metro fare.
Is the Barcelona Pass Worth it? Crunching the numbers
The only way to decide if the Barcelona Pass is worth it is to cost a sample itinerary with and without the pass. To give you a head start, I’ve priced a typical two-day itinerary for a first-time visitor to Barcelona who wants to visit the city’s top attractions, Gaudí included.
Day One: Gaudí’s world
La Sagrada Família guided tour, Casa Batlló, La Pedrera, Park Güell guided tour, and the hop-on-hop-off bus to get around.
Cost | |
|---|---|
Individual tickets (day one) | €206 |
2-Day Barcelona Pass | €189 |
Savings | €17 |
By day one, you are already quids in. In the evening, you could max out the pass further by taking a boat cruise.
Day Two: Tapas and Picasso
Picasso Museum and waking tour, Barcelona markets walking tour and evening flamenco show.
Cost | |
|---|---|
Individual tickets (day one and day two) | €320 |
2-Day Barcelona Pass | €189 |
Savings | €131 |
Go City also runs a risk-free guarantee. If the pass ends up costing more than buying tickets separately, they refund the difference, provided you scanned it at least three times a day, every day. Find out more here.
Who is the Barcelona Pass right for?
If you want to see as much of Barcelona as possible – this pass pays for itself quickly, and the more you use it, the bigger the saving.
If you are spending longer in Barcelona – you’re likely to see a return from two days in Barcelona onward, and that saving only grows the longer you stay
If you want to set your budget in advance – no unwelcome surprises when you check your credit card statement at the end of a holiday.
If you are looking for convenience – for anyone who values not queuing for individual tickets.
Who should skip it?
If money is tight – it’s hard to justify a pass built around paid attractions.
If you have already ticked off the big-ticket items like La Sagrada Família and Park Güell – the more expensive Barcelona All-Inclusive Pass attractions generate the biggest savings.
If you are looking for a relaxed itinerary – you get the most bang for your buck if you squeeze as much into your sightseeing day as possible.
If that sounds like you, take a look at the Barcelona Essentials Pass or Explorer Pass, also sold by Go City®. Although I haven’t crunched the numbers, these also look like good buys.
Tips for getting the most from your Barcelona Pass
1. Plan your itinerary
A little research goes a long way. Work out which attractions you want and check they are on the pass before you commit.
2. Consider transit times
Do not just list attractions, think about how long it takes to get between them, and cluster by area where you can. The included hop-on hop-off bus helps with this.
3. Don’t try to squeeze too much in
This is the main risk with any city pass. Cramming in too much leaves you too frazzled to enjoy any of it.
4. Prioritise high-value attractions
You get the most from the pass by using it on the pricier sites, the Gaudí attractions especially, since that is where the savings stack up fastest.
5. Start early, check hours and book ahead
Your pass runs on consecutive calendar days, not 24-hour blocks, so an early start on day one gets you the most from it. Check opening hours too, the Picasso Museum is shut on Mondays, and book any attraction that requires a reservation as soon as you can.
How to buy your Barcelona Pass
You can only buy the pass online, either from the Go City site or GetYourGuide. It’s worth comparing the prices and cancellation terms offered by the two sellers.
You can buy your pass up to a year before you intend to use it. But as Go City offers a no-questions-asked guaranteed refund within 30 days of purchase, provided the pass has not been activated, I recommend buying the pass in the month before your Barcelona trip.
That said, Go City does have some cracking sales, so if you see one, go for it.
