The Barcelona Bus Turistic colour is red and turquoise. Buses are open-top double decker buses called hop-on-hop-off ( also sometimes called "hoho" buses ) because you can 'hop on' and 'hop off' as many times as you like along the routes and you can switch routes.

The Barcelona Bus Turístic buses have wheelchair access, free WiFi on board, audio guides and includes discount vouchers with good discounts at many interesting tourist sights.
