Tibidabo
Barcelona's highest peak at 512 m, crowned by the Sacred Heart church and a century-old amusement park, with views over the whole city and the Mediterranean.
Tibidabo lies in the Collserola range. The Temple of the Sacred Heart on the summit was completed in 1961, with a giant statue of Jesus at the top, and a lift takes visitors up the tower for views. The neighbouring amusement park opened in 1901 and is one of Spain's oldest; its hanging red aeroplanes and Ferris wheel are the most classic attractions. The church is free to enter. The amusement park costs about €35, and the viewpoint ticket about €15. To reach the top, take the blue tram (which does not run at some times) and the funicular, or the T2A bus.
