A day trip outside Barcelona with public transportation is more sustainable

We have calculated our carbon footprint.

As part of our Biosphere commitment, we’ve calculated and shared the environmental impact of different transportation options we use.

On our Private Day Trips from Barcelona, we offer several excursions outside the city that rely exclusively on public transportation. We believe these trips are a fantastic option, and we’d like to highlight some reasons why you should consider booking them:

• Slow Tourism
  Traveling at a slower pace can be more rewarding. While public transportation may take a little longer than a private car, it provides a more relaxed, immersive experience that allows you to truly savor the journey.
• More Local
  Often, when we rely solely on private transport, we miss out on the local culture and atmosphere. We rush from site to site without getting a true sense of everyday life. By using public transportation, you’ll have the opportunity to observe how locals go about their daily routines and connect more deeply with the places you visit.
• More Affordable Public transportation is often more cost-effective than chauffeured tours. With reasonable fares across Spain and the availability of day trip discounts, it’s an economical way to explore.
• Lower Carbon Footprint Traveling by train, for instance, is one of the most sustainable ways to reduce your carbon footprint, offering a much slower environmental impact compared to private car travel. We’ve conducted some research—take a look at the comparison table below.

We hope these reasons inspire you to choose a more eco-friendly, enriching way to explore the beautiful surroundings of Barcelona.
