Tourist information cabins

In addition to the tourist information offices, Barcelona also has small portacabins, some of which are only open during the busier periods of the year), which are located outside and next to some of the most visited sights, and in particularly busy areas for tourists. They serve as information points, helping tourists especially at the busier times of year. Although they don’t offer the same range of services that the tourist information offices do, they are very useful for some basic services, such as ticket sales for certain events and museums, maps, bespoke information for those who have questions about visiting the city’s sights, etc.).
