Barcelona’s local transport
The city is very well serviced by a comprehensive network of public transport that consists of one metro, two trams, a bus network, and numerous cable cars and funiculars. TMB or "Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona" operates almost all of this. Barcelona is also a premiere hub for the state railway of Spain, RENFE, and the principle intercity station is Barcelona-Sants. The high speed AVE rail was recently extended from Tarragona to Madrid in the southern part of Catalonia, and now also reaches Barcelona. Hence, reaching Barcelona is not very hard for tourists or business people.
Driving in Barcelona is also an option, and you could choose to opt for Spain car rental. However, the Spanish are not known to be the friendliest drivers, which is in sharp contrast to the relaxed atmosphere that is found on the streets of Barcelona and other Spanish cities. However, so long as you are aware of this, there is no reason why you wouldn’t be able to drive in Barcelona or any other part of Spain for that matter.
