Tibidabo Mountain offers a nice view, but not much else, unless (I suppose) you go there when the amusement park is open.We did not take the Tramvia Blau (overpriced, in my opinion), but the funicular was fun. The visit didn't take more than an hour (including 15 minutes waiting in line for the slower churros ever), but the view was indeed cool.
The view of Barcelona was amazing, and the coffee shop with panoramic windows was just the place to sit and watch the world go by. On street parking available (at a charge) as the funicular railway did not seem to be working. Probably a summer thing
The view at the top of the tram are the best of Barcelona. Amazing photo opportunities and the Cthedral was a great representation of the Spanish architecture.
The view of Barcelona from Tibidabo is incomparable. I loved the old rides in the amusement park, especially the red airplane.
Tibidabo thrills, great way to spend a day in Barcelona, you can do almost anything, you can see the Olimpic Park, sightseeing, great photos, great place.
Took the metro n train to Place John F Kennedy. Took 196 bus and then a brisk 40 minute walk to the top. Theme park closed. Church is fab. Worth €2.50 to use lift. View fantastic. Took bus 111 to funicular and then train to Catalunya. Would definitely recommend it.
There is a small amusement park at the Tibidabo (looked like suitable for smaller children), but for adults you can see the view, and there is also a church if you are interested. There seemed to be many joggers and cyclers also, so if you are interested in sports, you may want to visit the place.
Make sure you plan ahead how you are going to get up as the walk can take up to 2 hours! The cable car is closed in the winter. There are no taxis by the church (even though some hotels tell you there are!) so you need to take the bus to the bottom of the hill, then take a train down to the bottom which takes you back to the metro. However, all that said...it is a simply stunning view and the church is fantastic.
The trip to the Tibidabo Mountain in itself is an experience - a nice way to get there is by the Tramvia Bleu. This is the highest point in Barcelona offering spectacular views of the city.Highly recommended!
This was wonderful to go to the top and to see the entire city. It was quite the experience. I did a bus tour and enjoyed the sites, stories, and the architecture along the way. There was so much to see and so many photos were taken.
