Tibidabo Amusement Park
A century-old hilltop amusement park beside the Sagrat Cor basilica — the best panorama in the city, at the cost of a trek.
The call
Worth it if you are traveling with kids and you are traveling as a couple.
Why
- 01
Vintage carousels and a tiny plane ride spinning above the whole skyline, a neo-Gothic church looming over it all — pure nostalgic charm.
Our read - 02
But the transit pilgrimage and steep adult ticket can sour the day if the weather turns.
Our read - 03
From the mountaintop the whole city unfolds, beaches, boulevards and even the Sagrada Família's spires in the distance, with the Sagrat Cor's rooftop lift climbing higher still.

One of the oldest amusement parks in the world still running, its 1928 Avió plane still swings out over the cliff edge for both a flight and a view.
