Parc del Laberint d'Horta
The city's oldest garden, with a romantic neoclassical hedge maze.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
A serene 18th-century estate garden of clipped-cypress terraces, fountains and statues, with a genuine cypress hedge maze at its heart — and daily visitor caps that keep it dreamy and near-empty.
Our read - 02
But be honest about the trade: it's a real haul out to Horta (metro to Mundet, then an uphill walk), the maze is small and quickly solved once you're in it, and there's little else nearby.
