Barcelona Travel Guide

This is the highest mountain in the backdrop of the city where a beautiful church towers over the rest of the city. You can see the church from almost anywhere in town (just look away from the ocean). To get there, take the bus or metro (FCG Line) to Tibidabo, then take the Tramvia Blau, and finally the Funicular. Before you take the Tramvia, there is a great café and bar called MiraBlau, which has a spectacular view, especially at night. At night, there is a great night life as well. Once you take the Funicular (or bus) to the top, you can go into the small church and walk around on the highest point in Barcelona. There is also a small amusement park that is great for smaller children (about 12 Euros for adults, 7 Euros for children). A bus goes directly to the top of Tibidabo from Plaza Catalunya (which is the easiest route), but it is only on weekends and may not always be running, depending on the time of year (it runs very frequently in the summer).

From the point where the funicular is located, you can walk up the road/hill to a trail called “Paseo de las aguas”. To get there from MiraBlau, just go around the corner on the road and walk about 7 minutes (there is no sidewalk but you’ll eventually get there). It is a flat running, walking and biking trail that is truly amazing.
