Services. This office is the main tourist board office in Barcelona and can help you with many essentials e.g. finding accommodation, booking the Barcelona Bus Turistic (open air bus tour), city maps, bus and transport information and other general tourist information questions. This Barcelona tourist info office also has a gift shop with an extensive range of quality souvenirs for your visit to Barcelona.
The Tyler Group TIP
Tourists often have difficulties finding the Catalunya tourist office – even though it’s the biggest tourist office in Barcelona and it’s on the busiest square in Barcelona. Why? Because it’s actually underground! The way to find it is first to find the El Cortes Ingles (the large shopping complex) the tourist office is close but actually under the Catalunya Square near the fountain. Look for the large pillars with an ” I ” at the top. These pillars are just outside the tourist office. There are two entrances to the Barcelona tourist office – each pillar marks an entrance.
Columbus Monument Tourist Office
Address: Pl. Portal de la Pau (near the Columbus monument)
Metro: Drassanes (Green Line, L3)
Open: 08:30 – 19:30
Closed: 01 January and 25 December
Not as comprehensive a service as the other 2 main Barcelona tourist information offices given above. Mainly supplying leaflets, port information and information on cultural attractions. Barcelona Bus Turistic and Barcelona card enquiries can also be made here however they do not provide an accommodation booking service unlike the other two offices above.
Barcelona Tourist Office – Cultural events in Barcelona (Oficina d’ informacio cultural)
Address: Las Ramblas, 99 08002 Barcelona, España
Metro: Liceu (Green Line, L3)
Tel: +34 93 316 1000
Open: Monday – Sunday: 10:00 – 20:00
This Barcelona tourist board office is somewhat different from the others. It does not offer any advice on accommodation, tourist attractions or tours. Its sole purpose is to provide you with comprehensive information on Barcelona Cultural activities. If you attempt to ask them questions on anything other than cultural activities and events they will direct you to the Catalunya tourist office which is the nearest main tourist board office from them.
