Transfer tunnel between L3 and L5 finally inaugurated!

After months and months of renovation works, where passengers transferring from L3 to L5 (or viceversa) in Diagonal subway station had to find their way in the street and back into the station again, last week the newly renovated connection tunnel was finally inaugurated.

Obviously, locals had got used to the strange connections that changed every few weeks, but for foreign visitors transferring from one line to the other was more than confusing: it was a challenge!

But was it really affecting many tourists? YES. For visitors using public transportation, this transfer is quite important because it allows you to get from Sagrada Familia church in L5 to the green line (L3) that takes you to Passeig de Gràcia (Casa Batlló), Plaça Catalunya (city center and beginning of La Rambla), Liceu (middle of La Rambla, access to the Gothic Quarter, Boqueria Market...) and Drassanes (Old Port, Maritime Museum, bottom of La Rambla), amongst other.

Now everything is easy again and the tunnel connecting the two lines is open, and has been improved with brand new treadmills that make the walk faster and more comfortable. So enjoy your rides again!
