When I purchased the Hola Barcelona cards, I went to read the reviews and was a little concerned xbecause so many people complained that they were not able to pick up the cards right away.
In fact on the website it is reported to go to the machines at the Airport, enter the Qcode etc....
I recommend you follow our advice:
We simply looked for
the tourist information office, which you will find near the final gate from which you exit the airport(I attach photo).
So as soon as you get on the plane head for the exit, without looking around for who knows what.
When you arrive at this info point (there is a statue of a horse in front of it, you can't miss it), hand over the Hola Barcelona card(s) purchase sheet and the employee will issue the cards to you on the fly.
All very simple.
With these you will be able to get around, on practically any means, except the Aerobus that goes from the airport to the center (you don't need it because a few hundred meters away you will find the metro... xwhy pay for the bus!:bad_shrug:), and the cable car (which we didn't take x time.
Enjoy Barcelona, it's beautiful!!! 💯
