Hola Barcelona is a very useful pass. It gives you access to more than 25 museums and attractions and included passage on all public transportation, excluding night buses and aerobuses. The minimum is for 72 hours from when it is activated, so if you plan to stay in Barcelona for less it is not worth taking it. I didn't take full advantage of it because I only enjoyed 2 full days. But still, I visited the Picasso museum, the chocolate museum, another modern art one, the name of which escapes me now, and used the metro and buses several times. I would have liked to visit the Egyptian museum but it was closed on Sunday 😒 Barcelona is a fantastic city! I recommend that you make a definite plan of places to visit so you don't miss the opportunities that Hola Barcelona offers.

The Picasso museum was a highlight of our visit to Barcelona. We also visited the modern art museum. We love that the passport is good for a year. There was a bit of a hiccup picking up the pasees as my husband was redirected to another location. Might want to correct that.
