The Barcelona Metro, part of the mass transit public transport system of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain is an extensive network of electrified railways that run underground in central Barcelona and above ground into the city's suburbs.

The Barcelona Metro was founded in 1924 with the construction of the 'Grand Metro' between Lesseps and the Plaça Catalunya, part of the modern line 3. Two years later the 'Metro Transversal' (now part of line 1) was built between the Plaça Catalunya and la Bordeta to link the city centre with the Plaça Espanya and Montjuïc, the site of the 1929 Universal Exposition.

In modern times the network consists of 9 lines managed by two different operators: Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona, which manages the major underground lines; and Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (roughly translated, Railways of the Government of Catalonia), which manages three integrated commuter lines running out into the extended metropolitan area. Fares are integrated into a city-wide system that also includes local and regional buses and some regional train services.

Taxis are an affordable alternative to public transport. A 15 mins journey will only cost about 5 Euros. Licensed Taxis have to charge you the amount displayed on the meter. However if you are carrying extra luggage there may be a small surcharge. Rates will be displayed inside the cab.

Walking
Surprisingly Barcelona spain transport is not necessarily the best way to get around! Why.... because the city centre is not as big as you may think.
