The Barcelona Card offers free public transportation and various discounts for tourist attractions. Has anyone had experience with these? Are they a good value. I'm planning to be there for a week. A 5 day pass for one person is $72. Not cheap, and there are 4 of us.

No, it is not cheap. I think a better plan is a T10 ticket for transport (10 rides, can be shared by several people) plus one Articket per person ( 23 euros, provides FREE entry into major museums such as Picasso, Miro, Catalan art museum, La Pedrera, etc., not just a discount. Being able to skip the ticket lines is a major benefit of the Articket.

I second Lola. We just got back - were there for 5 days. Got a T10 ticket and shared it. Got ArtTickets and used them for Picasso, Catalan, Casa Mila, Miro. Both were sufficient. It was uncharacteristically wet in Barcelona.
