Which Ticket Should I Buy?
There are a variety of tickets to choose from ranging from one day tickets to travel cards.
- For families with children under the age of six, two children are allowed to travel free with each adult.
- Consider how long you’re going to be here before deciding which one is best for you.
- For example, if you’re here for just one day and need to use the transport a lot then buy a T-1 ticket.
- This gives you unlimited access to travel in the center of town.
- For more than one day it’s best to buy the T-2 or T-3 which are for two or three days respectively. These are combined tickets valid for both the underground and buses and are non-transferable as they permit unlimited journeys for one person. Cost between €4 and €9.70.
- For one journey just buy a single ticket.
METRO TRAVEL CARD
The bonometro is valid for 10 journeys on the metro and available for all zones. You can buy one of these cards at metro stations and automatic vending machines.

- You can also use the travel card for more people. Just pass it to the person following you and they can scan it.
- If you buy the 10 trips add another €2 for the card.
- Then when you run out of rides you just top it up. You can only travel through the zones you have purchased.
