 Tibidado by col_hall6
It shouldn't come as a surprise to find that there are two, Montjuic and Mount Tibidado. Tibidado is the highest and is very easy to get to. The blue tram takes you up the first stage at a very leisurely pace so that you can enjoy the view. The Funicular then takes you the rest of the way up the steepest part until you reach the summit.
At the summit you will find an amusement park (probably ideal more for children than adults), the Sagrat Cor, a church modelled on the Sacre-Couer in Paris. Atop of the church is huge statue of Christ overlooking Barcelona. The other attraction is the Torre de Collserola, the huge telecommunications tower built for the 1992 Olympics. The view from the summit is spectacular, with an uninterupted view of Barcelona and the Meditteranean.
Please see my travelogue for more pictures of Tibidado.
Best time to visit - Make the trip on the clearest day possible and try to be at the summit late afternoon as the haze will be less and the views much better. The sunsets are unforgettable if you want to stay that long.
Opening hours - The times for the Blue tram, Funicular, and Amusement park during the year seem to vary with who you ask. Best to find out locally or phone the Amusement park as they should know the times for the tram and Funicular.
The Communications tower was closed when I visited, possibly for security reasons. Check when you're there. Leave a Comment Phone: Parc d'Atraccions - 93 211 79 42Directions: FGC commuter train to Av del Tibidado, cross the road and take the very enjoyable Tramvia blau (Blue Tram) up to Placa del Doctor Andreu. Then catch the Fanicular up to the summit, this runs every 15 minutes.

 Tibidabo - A long way up by easyoar
I have to admit I found the whole place a little tacky. I love rollercoaster rides, but the funfair looked a bit on the boring side, so I didn't even bother to go in. The whole place seems to be designed to relieve people of money, either by selling them religious knick-knacks or by getting them into overprices and not very special attractions.
If you drive to the peak, there are some great little mountain villages on the way, where you can stop off and get a great meal in the mountain air. Leave a Comment Directions: Grey Metro Line, then Blue extension to Funicular del Tibidabo.

Out of the park there is a beautiful cathedral. You can go inside and go to the top of it taking an elevator.
For timetible and prices of the park check the website below. Leave a Comment Phone: 93 211 79 42Directions: The easiest way to get there is by getting the Tibi Bus. The stop is in plaça Catalunya, in front of the entrance of Corte Ingles. It takes you right there.Website: http://www.tibidabo.es/default_eng.asp

Tibidabo is a family theme park situated on one of the higest points of Barcelona. It has nothing to do compared with other parks that you may have visited taking into account that this park has existed since nearly a hundred years so it a good chance to see how parks were before your other experiences. The park however has been updated constantly during this time to offer the best servies, security and enjoyment to its visitors. Check out their web site to be sure if the park is open and for its timings. A full day adult ticket costs 24 Euros - however if you have a touristic bus ticket the price reduces to 17 Euros, so get the bus tour before any other attraction to avail of the discoutns that you can get at other places in this fantastic city.

 Torre Collserola by Jehcekah
Follow the stone walkway all the way around the base of the tower to the entrance. The price for adults is eight Euro. We just happened to be there at a perfect time - we were the ONLY people there! We took the GLASS ELEVATOR up to the top of the tower (around 900 feet up), which isn't recommended if you are afraid of heights. The tower has a 360 degree observatory, which is all enclosed. You can get some great views of the city, of Tibidabo, and of communities beyond Barcelona. It was a great way to get more familiar with the geography and landscape of this area of Spain. We took about an hour to look around, take some pictures, and then descend on the elevator.
We decided to skip the bus ride (we didn't want to wait for the next one), so we walked the whole way back down to the funicular station, which was pretty cool! Leave a Comment
