Shopping in Barcelona
Barcelona is a major shopping showcase. Its range of shops are a combination of tradition and modernity. They are part of the city's identity and uniqueness and, together with the major brands from Spain and abroad, make it a shopping city of international standing.
Barcelona Shopping Line
The city's main shopping thoroughfare is known as the Barcelona Shopping Line. Its uniqueness with regard to other shopping districts lies in the fact that it encompasses an extensive area (some five kilometres), is mainly pedestrianised, and forms an integral part of the city and the lives of its inhabitants. This means that, as you walk through city's most beautiful streets and neighbourhoods, you can make your purchases at its many top quality shops.
The Bus Shopping Line covers a route which has been specially designed for you to travel in the city centre and do your shopping in comfort. When you buy the T-Shopping card, you can get on and off the bus as many times as you like throughout the day.
Route: from Plaça de Catalunya to Plaça Pius XII (Diagonal).
Frequency of buses: every 7 minutes. Saturday, every 15 minutes.
Running times weekdays from Monday to Friday: 7:00am. - 9:58pm.
Running times Saturday: 9:10am.- 9:45pm.
