Tibidabo – Magic Mountain and Amusement Park

At the highest point, you will find the Tibidabo Amusement Park, inaugurated in 1899. It still retains some of its historic attractions, combined with modern ones, from which you can “fly” over the city’s skyline. It is the main entertainment center for Barcelona’s children. 

Some of the attractions you will find in this park include the classic hall of mirrors, better known as Miramiralls, the legendary Muntanya d’Autòmats, or the airplane that flies over the park—an old simulator that lets you feel like you’re soaring while admiring spectacular views.

In addition to revisiting childhood memories in these nostalgic rides, you can unleash pure adrenaline in the park’s newest additions, such as the roller coaster, where you’ll feel the thrill of every descent and the speed of sharp turns. 

You’ll feel like a dwarf in the Gold Mine, floating on logs that glide through the water, or scream in terror at Hotel Krüeger, encountering characters from your favorite horror films. In L’Embruixabruixes, you’ll return to a world of witchcraft as you journey through the park in a suspended cart. 

All aboard! Hop on Virtual Express, a "high-speed" train that will transport you to a whole new world of virtual reality. Don’t forget to board Piratta or Diavolo, the first rides of Tibidabo. The little ones in the family will also have a blast with the wide variety of attractions designed just for them.

What else can you find on the Tibidabo mountain?

• The new funicular, La Cuca de Llum: A means of transport that serves as both the first experience and the gateway to the park. This funicular is faster and more efficient, with a capacity for 252 passengers. Its design allows for a unique panoramic view of the city of Barcelona and features interactive screens that provide entertainment and engagement for visitors during the ride.
• The Temple del Sagrat Cor: One of the best viewpoints of Barcelona facing the sea, housed in a monumental neo-Gothic building crowned by a bronze statue of the Sacred Heart. Known as the Tibidabo church, its interior boasts a majestic crypt adorned with mosaics, biblical scenes, and alabaster finishes.
• The Torre de Collserola: Standing 288 meters tall, its tenth floor, located at 115 meters, includes an observation deck offering panoramic views of the city. Built for the Barcelona 1992 Olympic Games, it was designed by the architect Norman Foster. Today, it primarily focuses on astronomical research while also collecting meteorological and seismic data.
• The Mirador del Tibidabo: If you want the highest views of Barcelona, you must visit the Tibidabo viewpoint, approximately 500 meters above sea level, right in the heart of the magical mountain. From there, you’ll get a perfect panorama of the entire valley where the city sits. You’ll be able to see the Mediterranean Sea, El Prat Airport, and the Barcelona port. We recommend visiting at night to admire the city lights, offering a completely different landscape than what you see during the day. Make the most of it, especially if your trip coincides with a full moon.
