I would like some feedback on the articket and Barcelona cards It is my husband teenage son and myself in Barcelona for 3 days. We plan to go the major gaudi sites and art museums
We would probably make 3 sites per day for 3 days equaling 9 visits Are these cards in your opinion worth it

You're going to have to do the math to figure out whether it's worth it or not. It really comes down to what places you are going to visit. The Gaudi sights are pretty darn pricey (and my 2010 Rick Steves Guidebook was woefully off on the prices when I was there in Feb.), but only one is included in the Articket. The Barcelona card includes transportation, but if you buy the T-10 tickets, it's only 80-something centimes per ride. The other tricky part is that your teenager (assuming he's not 18) will be free at some places and not at others, which might make it not worth it for a discount card for him. (And now I'll add unsolicited advice: We did the Runner Bean Tours Gaudi tour before going in any of the Gaudi sights and I highly recommend this. I'd been to Barcelona before and the tour added a lot to my visit this time. My kids even liked the tour.)
