Why Tibidabo matters
Tibidabo is the highest of the hills ringing Barcelona. At the top sit a neo-Gothic church and a vintage amusement park, one of the oldest in the world. Take the old tram and funicular to reach it, and enjoy views over the city to the sea. It is a classic family day out.
Talking points
- The amusement park has operated for over a century.
- A historic blue tram and a funicular lead up the hill.
- On clear days the views stretch across the city to the sea.
