There are a variety of tickets on offer which can be purchased from the ticket office or any of the self-service machines inside the station. All these tickets are valid for the bus systems as well as the Metro. The Metro runs from 5am through until midnight during the week and until 2am of a weekend.
The transport company, TMB, has a great website which you can use to plan your journey and have a look at the different tickets available, and, even better, you don't have to speak Spanish to be able to use it! Taxis are common and relatively inexpensive. If they are available, they will display a green light and can be hailed in the street or from one of the many taxi ranks around the city centre. The night rate runs from 8pm when they become more expensive. It is worth checking that the meter is reset at the start of your journey to ensure that you are not overcharged.
On matchdays, it is recommendable to get to the ground by public transport as traffic can be a nightmare around the stadium. The city has numerous restaurants serving a range of international cuisine with tapas being widely available. Typical pub grub and snacks are available in many of the Irish and English pubs and there are plenty of KFC and McDonalds restaurants on the main tourist streets.

Indeed, Spain is the largest per capita consumer of fish in Europe. Tapas now comes in two forms — either the small snack served with a drink, or a larger meal, meant for sharing among friends. When going out for a meal of tapas, it is more customary to order a racion, which is a larger dish than the small snack that accompanies a drink, and each person will order a couple of these to share. Most fans will head here during the day, although we might suggesting heading off into some of the smaller side-streets to avoid the mass of bodies and finding yourself a smaller, local bar if you want to avoid the higher prices and tourist trappings.
The city, as you would expect, has no shortage of places to eat and drink, no matter what you fancy. There are the customary selection of Irish bars and British pubs — in fact more than 20 to choose from, with a couple of Aussie bars thrown in for good measure.
