Park Güell
Parc Güell represents the green that adorns the city. It occupies most of the Tres Creus and Carmel hills. It was recently renovated and is now even more beautiful. You can stroll around the area or decide to climb to the highest part of the park.
In 1984 it was declared a World Heritage Site, for being one of the most outstanding and unique creations of Antoni Gaudí and of the time. The artist wanted to emulate the English cities and their gardens, integrating, as in this case, perfect integration of his architectural works with nature.
The dragon located on the main staircase is the emblem of the site.
3.Parc d’Atraccions Tibidabo
As Tibidabo is the highest mountain in Collserola, it offers spectacular views of the entire city. At the top of the mountain is the Tibidabo amusement park, the only one of its kind where you will find traditional attractions such as the airplane and the Watchtower.
Although it has been in operation since 1901, the Tibidabo amusement park has not changed much throughout history. The attractions are the same, but are striking for being attractive and picturesque. You can also enjoy the puppet show and the Museu d’Autòmats, a legendary collection of coin-operated fairground machines from the early 20th century.
Some of the park’s most traditional attractions are:
- The Miramiralls, a hall of mirrors with visual effects such as transformations, illusions and kaleidoscopes.
- Talaia is unique in the world for being a metal construction of 50 meters high.
- The replica of the plane that made the first Barcelona-Madrid route.
