Reviews The Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA)
“Ho preso 2 Barcellona card.. voucher subito scaricati.. ma non era specificato che bisognava andare in un centro informazioni ( statua di colombo) per ritirare la tessera per la metro e la tessera per l'ingresso ai musei. Inoltre inizialmente mi han detto che il voucher non andava bene, poi tutto ok”
“Servizio semplice e veloce.”
