The tourist information provides free city and metro maps, information on events and sights. The free plans are usually sufficient to find your way around Barcelona.
You can also pick up the booked Barcelona Card and the ticket for the tourist bus at the tourist information centers.
As an aftermath of the corona pandemic, the tourist information offices have partially shortened opening times or closed them temporarily over the winter.
The largest tourist information centre is located on Plaça Catalunya in the basement, opposite the gray El Cortes Inglés department store building (corner of Pl. Catalunya / C. de Fontanella). There is an escalator at each of the entrances to get to the basement.
In the shop you can get lots of high-quality souvenirs: T-shirts, hats, mugs, calendars, scarves, books and much more.
Our tip: the queues at the advisory counters are often quite long, with a voucher you can also pick up the tickets and cards you have booked directly in the shop at the shop's cash desk. This saves you waiting times.
A stair lift is available for wheelchair users to get to the basement.

You will find two tourist information offices at the Columbus monument. Both are ideally located if you are arriving by cruise ship.
Mirador de Colom (basement of the monument)
This is located in the basement of the monument and has a small shop. A trip to the approximately 60-meter-high viewing platform is very nice. From up there you can see the Gothic Quarter and the Raval, Montjuïc and the port. You can enjoy a tasting of Catalan wines below. Here you can get the tickets for the Monument a Colom.
Metro: Drassanes (L3)
Cabin at the Columbus Monument and Rambla
At the Columbus monument in the direction of the port there is a tourist information center in a container. This is ideal if you are arriving by cruise ship. The Portbús, the shuttle bus that connects the cruise terminals with the city center, stops just a few meters away. And from here you can walk up the Rambla, take the Bus Tourístic sightseeing bus or use the metro, which gives you free travel with the Barcelona Card.
Metro: Drassanes (L3)
If you arrive by train, you will arrive safely at Sants station. The Tourist Info is located here in the middle of the large hall.
In the middle of the Gothic Quarter, opposite the cathedral, is the "Col·legi d'Arquitectes de Catalunya", the Chamber of Architects of Catalonia. You can recognize the building by the drawings by Picasso, at the gray building.
The Tourist Info is located on the ground floor of the building at Plaça Nova, 5.
The information booths are located throughout the city. Vouchers cannot be redeemed here.
