Barcelona Card is a city card: public transport plus entry to the attractions on its list. ArticketBCN is a fixed bundle: one entry to each attraction on its list. One adult pays from EUR 35.10 for Barcelona Card and from EUR 38 for ArticketBCN, checked October 2026.
We price 5 attractions on one or both of them, and both include 4. Only Barcelona Card has Moco Museum Barcelona.
On the 2 plans worked out below for 2 adults, Barcelona Card costs less on both. The figures are arithmetic on published prices, not a rating of either pass.
