Reviews Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes
“Eine tolle Möglichkeit Barcelona zu erkunden und die wichtigsten Spots zu erleben. Teilweise sind die Busse aber überfüllt, so dass es vorkommen kann das man an der Haltestelle an der man eigentlich weiter möchte zwei, drei Busse (9-30 Min) warten muss bis man einen Platz bekommt und weiter kann.”
“Wir waren sehr zufriedenen und es hat alles bestens geklappt. Gerne wieder und kann ich unbedingt weiterempfehlen.”
