Tibidabo
old attraction park and church
If you plan to come to Spain and stay at a nice apartment in Barcelona you should definitely save a day and go to the mountain Tibidabo. During your stay you could rent a cheap Barcelona accomodation from where you can get to Tibidabo by metro.
Even the drive will be a special adventure for the whole family. You first go with the metro L 7 to the final station and then get in the old blue tram which was the only one in whole Barcelona for long time. After that a rack railway will bring you up the final meters of the mountain.
With its 529 meters the Tibidabo is the highest mountain in Barcelona and from there you will have a gorgeous view about the city and you could even see Montserrat.
If you are finally there a lot of attraction will wait for you. On the mountain there is an old adventure park with a big wheel, rollercoaster and chairoplane and lot other attraction. So you could enjoy the view and have some fun.
For the people who don´t like so much action there is also the curch Sagrada Corazón which is a copy of the French Sacre Cour. It was finished in 1962 but in there is a building in it which is from 1900. On the top of the church is a huge statue of Jesus.
The third attraction is an observation deck - the Torre de Conserolla. The television tower, which is on this platform was built because of the Olympic Games 1992 and has a high of 268 meters.
So this place is worth a visit. I doesn´t matter if you like action or just enjoy the view.
