Barcelona bus passengers should expect diversions and disrupted services on 25 TMB routes on Saturday 18 July, from approximately 15:30 until 21:00, during the Pride Barcelona 2026 LGTBI demonstration and float parade.

Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB), the city’s main public transport operator, recommends using the metro for journeys around Gran Via, Plaça Tetuan, Passeig de Sant Joan and Passeig de Lluís Companys. The march is due to leave Plaça Universitat at 18:00.

> TMB recommends travelling by metro during the affected hours and when moving around the areas used by the parade.

## Route and bus services affected

The gathering will occupy Gran Via between Carrer d'Urgell and Plaça Universitat before the demonstration sets off. It will continue along Gran Via to Plaça Tetuan, then Passeig de Sant Joan and Passeig de Lluís Companys, finishing at Passeig de Pujades.

TMB says the following services will be affected by the route:

- D50; H12, H14 and H16; V11, V13, V15, V17 and V19.
- Routes 6, 7, 19, 22, 24, 39, 47, 54, 55, 59, 63, 67, 120 and 141.
- The red and blue routes of the Barcelona Bus Turístic.

Members of Visibles, the association representing LGTBI staff at TMB, are scheduled to join the march with two decorated double-decker tourist buses used as floats.
