World Trade Center stop
The arrival point for cruise goers visiting Barcelona and the start-off point for a route through key points of the city, the World Trade Center stop welcomes all those who arrive by sea to discover Barcelona.
Arrival point for cruise goers who visit Barcelona
The World Trade Center stop of the Red Route of Barcelona Bus Turístic is right on the quay of the Port Vell and is the start-off point for a route through Barcelona’s most interesting monuments.
Next to the stop are the main points where cruise goers disembark when they arrive in Barcelona and opposite is the World Trade Center, a building in the shape of a ship designed by the architect Henry N. Cobb, a member of the same team of architects responsible for the Louvre pyramid in Paris.
