Itinerary

  1. Villa Joana

    Passing by

    10 minutes after the start of the climb, we will pass in front of Vil·la Joana, a historic farmhouse of the 19th century converted into a museum dedicated to the life and work of Jacint Verdaguer, one of the most important poets of Catalan literature. Without stopping, we will enjoy its architectural charm and its surroundings surrounded by nature, which offers a glimpse of the rich cultural heritage of Collserola.

  2. Stop 2

    Passing by

    Within 15 minutes of starting the climb, we will pass the Collserola Natural Park Information Center, an ideal reference point to learn more about the biodiversity and history of this protected space. Although we will not stop, it is an interesting place that signals the beginning of the immersion in this unique environment of Mediterranean vegetation.

  3. Parc de Collserola

    1 h 30 min

    The tour runs along a charming path that winds through the forest of Collserola Natural Park, a veritable green lung of Mediterranean vegetation. Along the way, you will be accompanied by the shade of thousands of centuries-old trees, as the aroma of plants like rosemary and thyme envelops your senses. This peaceful natural setting offers perfect respite and a direct connection to the essence of the Mediterranean landscape.

  4. Torre de Collserola

    Passing by

    About 15 minutes before reaching the top of Tibidabo, we will pass by the imposing Collserola Tower, an architectural icon designed by Norman Foster for the 1992 Olympic Games. Although we will not climb the tower, its modern and majestic silhouette will be an interesting landmark on our way to the top. A reminder of the contrast between nature and urbanism that defines Barcelona.

  5. Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

    15 min

    At the top of Tibidabo, 512 meters above sea level, the Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus offers the most spectacular photographs of Barcelona. With unrivalled panoramic views of the city, the Mediterranean and the mountains, it is the perfect setting to immortalize your visit. This majestic temple, which combines Gothic and Modernist style, began construction in 1902 and stands out for its beauty and rich history. In the temple, those who wish to take a lift (ticket €5 per person) to the upper terrace at 560 meters altitude, from where you can access the feet of Christ for unparalleled panoramic views. A must for those looking to capture unique moments and enjoy the magic of Barcelona. Join my tour and take with you indelible memories!

  6. Parc d’Atraccions Tibidabo

    5 min

    From the highest point of Barcelona, at 512 m altitude, you will enjoy spectacular views that combine the vastness of the Mediterranean, the green of the Collserola forest and the urban beauty of the city. At the top, next to the majestic Temple of the Sacred Heart, you can capture unique photographs with the iconic noriad as a background, adding a vibrant touch to your images. Although there are no restaurants, we will walk freely through the upper level of the park, enjoying the views. Souvenir shops offer snacks as well as hot and cold drinks. Walking through this historic place, opened in 1901 and considered one of the oldest parks in Europe, is an unforgettable experience that combines nature, history and unparalleled views.
