Behind the city center of Barcelona, there is a mountain chain called "Serra de Collserola". Its highest mountain is the Tibidabo. It rises 512 m up in the sky of Barcelona and offers a breathtaking view over Barcelona and the surrounding area.

The overall picture of Barcelona encorporates not only the beach and the sea but also the mountainous landscape in the suburbs of Barcelona. The Tibidabo is surrounded by two rivers, in the East by Besòs and in the West by Llobregat.

The Tibidabo has developed to one of the most famous sights within the Barcelona metropolitan area. Visitors that arranged accommodation in Barcelona, such as a hotel in Barcelona or an apartment in Barcelona can use public transport to reach the top of the mountain.

There, Barcelona visitors will find the cathedral "Sagrat Cor", that can even be see at night from the city center. There are also othersights to discover, such as a TV tower and a theme park. Aiming especially to families with children, the "Parc d'atraccions Tibidabo" has total area of 7 hectare and offers a great view while enjoying one of the nostaligic caroussels.

The name "Tibidabo" arised from a bible verse. Therein, the devil leads Jesus on a high mountain to show him all the kingdoms of the world and its glory. "...et ait ei tibi dabo potestatem hanc universam et gloriam illorum quia mihi tradita sunt et cui volo do illa -- "All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it" (Luke 4:6).
