Metro after Super Cup August 23rd?

[WeAreBees]

Hi all,

I will be in Barcelona for the game on Thursday night. I understand the Metro normally stops running at midnight. Can anyone tell me if it will be running after the game though?

And of not, what is the best way to get back to the city centre?

Many Thanks

Buses and night buses (NitBus)
Bus schedules
You can find schedules of the bus lines and an overview map of the NitBus here:

buses of the TMB: Click here for an overview of the bus lines in Barcelona
NitBus: Bus map and stops at the Plaça Catalunya
There are more than 200 bus lines in Barcelona and each bus line has its own map. It is thus difficult to say which bus takes you from A to B. If your hotel is a little further away from a metro station, ask at the reception which bus you can take.

Night bus (NitBus)
Both metro and regular buses stop running at some point at night. There are lots of night buses in Barcelona that bring you back to your hotel all night long. Almost all lines stop at the Plaça Catalunya.
The hours of operation of the regular buses and the NitBus vary from line to line. The nights buses run from around 10pm to around 5am.

Taxis
Taking a taxi is a good alternative to going by bus or metro, especially at night when the metros don't run anymore. There are numerous taxis which are rather low-priced compared to other European countries.

The taxis in Barcelona are yellow and black with a green light on top. When the green light is on, the taxi is free. Altogether there are more than 4,000 taxis and 260 taxi stands in Barcelona. You can simply flag down a taxi on the street. Within 50 m from a taxi stand, a driver is not allowed to stop and pick up guests. At a taxi stand, you do not have the choice which taxi you would like to take unless you have special needs (e.g. if you require air conditioning, a different mode of payment etc.).

A taxi from the airport to the city centre costs about 25-40 € depending on where you want to go and how dense the traffic is. Please check that when you leave the taximeter is switched on and insist that the driver gives you a receipt. Some taxis accept payment with credit cards, if that is the case you'll find a sign on the window.

Thanks for the info.

Bus or taxi it is then!

Was at the game myself. Both buses and taxi's were virtually non existant. Talking to some other English lads, on Friday, who were staying in Bari Gotic, it took them two hours to walk back to their hotel. Stupid time for a game to kick off.

Took me 3 hours to get home, but I was sat in a bar for 2hrs 55 minutes first!!
