Tibidabo.
What to do in Barcelona? So Barcelona has the history, architecture, wonderful temples, cathedrals, museums, beaches, great restaurants and nightlife. All that's needed now is a nearby mountain to view this beautiful city in all its splendour.
It shouldn't come as a surprise to find that there are two, Montjuic and Mount Tibidado. Tibidado is the highest and is very easy to get to. The blue tram takes you up the first stage at a very leisurely pace so that you can enjoy the view. The Funicular then takes you the rest of the way up the steepest part until you reach the summit.
At the summit you will find an amusement park (probably ideal more for children than adults), the Sagrat Cor, a church modelled on the Sacre-Couer in Paris. Atop of the church is huge statue of Christ overlooking Barcelona.
The other attraction is the Torre de Collserola, the huge telecommunications tower built for the 1992 Olympics. The view from the summit is spectacular, with an uninterupted view of Barcelona and the Meditteranean.
Best time to visit - Make the trip on the clearest day possible and try to be at the summit late afternoon as the haze will be less and the views much better. The sunsets are unforgettable if you want to stay that long.
Opening hours - The times for the Blue tram, Funicular, and Amusement park during the year seem to vary with who you ask.
