The Blue Tram is the oldest means of transport still preserved in Barcelona. Its route runs along streets lined with modernist houses that give way to nature and magnificent views over the city. Without a doubt, it’s a very authentic way to reach the base of the Tibidabo Funicular.
The Blue Tram is a sample of the typical trams of 1900s Barcelona. It travels through an area of the city with many modernist and noucentista buildings. It reaches the foot of Mount Tibidabo, where you can enjoy magnificent views of Barcelona.
The Blue Tram also gives access to the Cosmocaixa and the Tibidabo Funicular, which takes you to the top of Mount Tibidabo, where you’ll find the Amusement Park, the Temple of the Sacred Heart, the Collserola Tower, and the Fabra Observatory.
How to get to the Blue Tram?
The Tramvia Blau-Tibidabo stop on the Blue Route of the Barcelona Bus Turístic drops you off right at the start of the tram’s route. Remember that with your Barcelona Bus Turístic ticket, you get a discount on the tram fare.
For the curious
- Despite being over a hundred years old, until its temporary closure, the Blue Tram still ran a 1,276-meter uphill route to the base of the Tibidabo Funicular.
- The Blue Tram isn’t just the first step to reach the top of Tibidabo. You can also stay at the foot of the mountain, where there are bars and restaurants with spectacular views of the city of Barcelona.
