The magic of Christmas and travel
With the arrival of Christmas, Barcelona is transformed into a spectacle of lights and celebrations that attract both residents and visitors. While the streets are flooded with parties and shopping, the public transport system becomes essential for getting around in comfort and safety.
Modified hours for the holidays
It is crucial to be aware of the changes to the metro timetable during these special dates. On December 24, the service will end at 11:00 PM, an adjustment that has been implemented every year to allow workers to enjoy family celebrations. In addition, Rodalies and FGC will also stop their service at the same time.
Holidays: what to expect?
On Christmas Day, the metro will reopen at 5:00 a.m. and will operate until 2:00 a.m. However, the Funicular and Telefèric will operate, but the tourist buses and the Christmas Night Tour will not be available. If you plan to go out on Boxing Day, remember that the service will be open until midnight.
New Year’s Eve and Epiphany
New Year’s Eve is a special occasion, and the metro will not leave you; it will work without interruptions to facilitate travel throughout the party. In addition, on January 5, the service will continue until 2:00 in the morning, ensuring that you can enjoy the celebrations in comfort.
Commitment to sustainability
TMB has implemented service improvements by reinforcing several metro lines, such as L1 and L3, to cope with the increase in passengers. They have also increased the frequency of buses in the busiest areas, all with the aim of maintaining efficient and sustainable mobility during the holidays.
Tips for a hassle-free trip
To avoid surprises, it is recommended to consult the official TMB or Moovit applications, which offer up-to-date and real-time information on timetables. These tools also make it possible to calculate alternative routes and be aware of any incident in the service. Plan your trip in advance, anticipate possible setbacks and enjoy the festivities without worries.
A Christmas full of possibilities
With proper planning and knowledge of the latest metro services, travelers can make the most of everything Barcelona has to offer during the holidays. The Christmas celebrations become an opportunity to explore the city in a comfortable and sustainable way.
