# Tickets Tickets works on all modes of transport as long as the trip is within the purchased zone(s): metro; bus and Renfe. [Link](https://www.tmb.cat/en/barcelona-fares-metro-bus) for ticket prices. If you are in Barcelona for a week or so then best buy is the T-Casual, which is 10 trips for around €12.  If you are there for 2-4 weeks I would buy the T-usual, which is unlimited trips for a month for around €22.  To get the ticket card for the above ticket types; just go to a station with a ticket machine and buy the ticket. Fist time you pay a 1€ deposit for the card but next time you reuse it. In most cases you only need a 1 zone card, as you can see [below](https://www.tmb.cat/en/barcelona-fares-metro-bus/zone-map):  **Notice the airport is in zone 2.** **Best option is to take the A1 or A2 bus to the city centre for around €8.** A1 is terminal 1 and A2 is for terminal 2. Both buses go to Placa Espana and Placa Catalonia. # Trains Metro (Lx) or Tram (Tx) is the best option inside zone 1. [Map](https://www.tmb.cat/en/barcelona-transport/metro-bus-map#):  [Renfe](https://www.renfe.com/es/en/suburban/rodalies-catalunya/maps) is best for longer distances beyond zone 1.  # Buses So most useful buses start with a V or H, like I use H10 all the time. Lines without H or V are mostly local lines. - **Horizontal Lines (H):** These buses primarily move east-west, roughly parallel to the coastline, connecting the Llobregat and Besòs areas. - **Vertical Lines (V):** These lines travel north-south, perpendicular to the coast, from the sea towards the mountains. - **Diagonal Lines (D):** These lines traverse the city diagonally, providing additional connectivity between different areas.
