London Underground Tickets & Travelcards

The Travelcard is a transport pass for London that gives you unlimited travel in London within certain zones . The prices vary according to the number of zones you need to travel through. Central London is in zone 1.

Travelcards are valid for 1 day, 7 days, 1 month or 1 year.

The passes are valid for travel on all types of transport in London including:

• the Underground (the tube)
• the local suburban trains within London
• the Elizabeth Line (not west of West Drayton)
• the Docklands Light Railway (DLR)
• the London Overground
• the buses all over London. A Travelcard for any zone allows you to use the buses in all zones (zones 1-6)

The 3 Day Travelcard, weekend Travelcard, Zone 1-2 & 2-6 One Day Travelcards are no longer available.

Visiting London for 1-7 days? See our guide to London’s transport tickets & passes . The Travelcard may not be the best ticket for your stay.

Single Underground Tickets

Single paper tickets on the London underground are expensive if you buy them from a tube station ticket machine:

• £6.70 for one journey in zone 1 (central London) and between zone 1 and zones 2 to 6
• See single ticket prices for all zones .

One Day Travelcards: 2024 prices

Using a Pay as you go Oyster card or a contactless card are the cheapest ways to pay for travel if you’re in London for 1-5 days. The daily cap is £8.50 per day for zones 1-2

If you really don’t want to use an Oyster card or don’t have a contactless card, the One Day Travelcard is the next best money-saving pass.

The paper Off peak One Day Travelcard for zone 1-6 is  £15.90. This is expensive, but still cheaper than paying the full cash fare for 3 underground trips in central London (3 x £6.70 = £20.10 ).

One Day Travelcard fares 2024

Peak v anytime travelcards.

One Day Travelcard prices are different if you travel during peak or off-peak times:

Anytime Travelcard Valid for travel at anytime. Off-Peak Travelcard For travel after 9.30am Monday–Friday and all day Saturday, Sunday and public holidays.

Top Tip: An Off-Peak One Day Travelcard for zones 1–6 costs  £10.40 with a Railcard .

Weekly Travelcards: 2024 prices

If you stay in London for 6–7 days and use the underground, trains, and buses every day, the weekly Travelcard is the most cost-effective travel pass.

The one-week pass including central London (zones 1-2) is  £42.70.

• It can start on any day of the week
• It’s valid for travel at anytime; there is no peak or off-peak rate.

Most places sell weekly Travelcards loaded onto a plastic Oyster card. There’s a £7 fee for the Oyster card.

Your fare on an Oyster card will automatically cap at the weekly Travelcard fare (this is already available on contactless cards). The cap starts on Monday and ends Sunday, so it mainly benefits Londoners or those working in London.

• See weekly Travelcards prices for all other zones (2, 3, 4, 5 and 6)

Monthly Travelcards: 2024 prices

For longer stays in London, monthly Travelcards are available. You won’t save much compared to buying 4 x weekly Travelcards – but you’ll save time renewing it. Like the weekly Travelcard, it can start on any day of the week and is valid for travel at any time. See monthly Travelcard prices for all other zones (2, 3, 4, 5 and 6)

How to use a Travelcard

On the underground.

If you have a paper One Day Travelcard or single ticket from a ticket machine, insert the card into the slot on the front of the ticket barrier. The barrier opens when you take the ticket from behind the yellow reader, on the top.

If you have a paper One Day Travelcard, just show it to the driver when boarding the bus.

See How to use an Oyster card if you have a weekly Travelcard on an Oyster card.

• Barcelona Card
• Discounts in Barcelona

The purchase of a Barcelona Card could be considered essential for some tourists visiting Barcelona. Thanks to it you will benefit from a lot of discounts, as well as entering many places for free, or at least included in the price of your card. This includes many museums and places of cultural interest for tourists.

Where can I buy the Barcelona Card and how much will it cost?

You have two options for buying the Barcelona Card . You can either purchase it online before you come to Barcelona, or you can buy it once you arrive in the city at one of the official points of sale.

Buying the Barcelona Card 2024 online

Barcelona Card 3, 4 and 5 days

Free access to some museums

Unlimited public transport and discounts

If you choose to buy the Barcelona Card online (10% discount) , you can do so via this website. Once you’ve bought it, you can pick up the card upon your arrival in Barcelona in one of the official pick-up points.

There are in fact Barcelona Card offices in Terminal T1 and T2 of Barcelona Airport , so if you’ve bought the ticket online you can pick it up from either of these two Barcelona’s tourist information offices and start using it straight away.

€ Price of the Barcelona Card in 2024

The Price of the Barcelona Card varies depending on whether you buy a card for 3, 4 or 5 days, and whether it’s a card for an adult or a child, Barcelona Card Kids (classed as between 4 and 12 years old).

Barcelona Card + Sagrada Familia + Park Güell

For how many days is the Barcelona Card valid?

There are four types of Barcelona Card, which are valid for 3, 4 or 5 days , so there are options available to you depending on the length of your stay. The days always have to be consecutive, and counted as calendar days as opposed to 24 hour periods of your choice. So, for example, if you purchase a 3 day card and use it for the first time on a Tuesday at 3pm, it will expire on the Thursday at 23:59, and not on the Friday at 14:59.

What does the Barcelona Card include?

This Barcelona tourist card comes with an information guide (in English , German, Italian, French, Spanish and Catalan), and this will give you a description of all the discounts that are on offer as well as a list of the museums that will give you free entry with the card.

1. Free Barcelona public transport

By buying the Barcelona Card you will be able to travel for free on the metro and buses (except in the night buses, known as Nit Bus) in the centre of Barcelona, plus on the urban lines of the FGC (the Ferrocarriles de la Generalitat de Catalunya), the trams, train to Barcelona Airport and Zone 1 of the RENFE local rail network. Travel between the airport and Barcelona

By train: Currently there’s only a train station in Terminal T2 , so if you have to get to/from Terminal T1 you’ll also need to take the free shuttle bus that links both terminals. The train stops at various stations in Barcelona, with the most central stop being Passeig de Gràcia and Barcelona – Sants .

By bus: Bus Number 46 stops at Terminal T1 and T2 . It’s a public bus, so it doesn’t offer the kind of space for your luggage that you’ll find on the dedicated Aerobus. For the same reason, the journey is fairly lengthy as it stops a lot. Its final stop is in the Plaça Espanya, so if you want to get to the heart of the city centre, you’ll then need to catch another bus or the Metro.

2. Free visits to museums and places of interest

3. discounts with the barcelona card, 4. all the benefits of the barcelona card 2024, places in which you can pick up a barcelona card.

* The tourist information offices close on January 1 and December 25. And what if i’m going to be in Barcelona for 2 days?
