Overview

Experience a unique hiking experience by walking through the Mediterranean forest of Tibidabo. I will tell you about its flora, fauna and aromas, and share stories about the Catalan farmhouse we will see along the way and about the iconic temple at the top.

During the 4 km route (300 m elevation), we will enjoy viewpoints with incredible views of Barcelona, the sea and the mountains. Ideal for those looking for nature, fresh air and an active activity near the city.

From the top (512 m) you will have Barcelona at your feet at a glance. We will visit the Temple of the Sacred Heart and walk through the top of the amusement park. You can also climb (€5, not included) to the foot of the Christ for the best panoramic photos.

Meeting point accessible by public transport. An unforgettable walk with unique opportunities to photograph the city like never before!
