Using Barcelona CardAfter selecting Arqueoticket: Some attractions are displayed with rebate, others without rebate directly on the map

Supported city cards:

The Barcelona Attractions Map App is usable and useful without these cards. In this case the attractions are shown with the symbol of their category.

What's open today or tomorrow?

If you're in Barcelona on a Sunday, some attractions are not open, others have short opening hours. On Mondays, most museums are closed, but not all. On holidays, everything is different. Looking up all thos opening hours can be time consuming and frustrating.

Using the Barcelona Attractions Map, you can say: only show what's open today from now on or what's open tomorrow or both together:

There is a second functionality behind "open today":

Usually all opening hours and exception days of an attraction is shown on the map. Using this filter, only the opening hours of today or tomorrow or both are shown. This saves space and makes the information faster to grasp:

Adaptive opening hours

If "Open:" is blue, then it is a link to the original web page showing the opening hours. In this case the opening hours of the chocolate museum. When in doubt, the opening hours of the original website are correct.

Sunset and dark mode

Some parks are open til sunset. The app calculates the sunset on that day at the location.

Dark mode is supported

Sunset is calculated; two examples shown: left in light mode, right in dark mode
