BARCELONA: TIBIDABO

One sunday morning we went to the Tibidabo, a hill on the top of which there is a funfair perfect for children and teenagers. So, Tibidabo is a fantastic place for children in Barcelona where they can spend a funny day.

From Tibidabo hill you will also enjoy fantastic views of Barcelona.  Tibidabo is actually one of the highest points in the city and the views of Barcelona and the surrounding areas are truly spectacular. Views as interesting as the ones from the Park Güell or the Montjuïc Castle.

Besides the journey up the mountain in the enchanting turn-of-the-century Blue Tram and funicular railway is hugely enjoyable.

My uncle has been to Barcelona for 15 years he invited me to visit there. I came back to the grand canyon bus tours with my family. My uncle is a tourist he has a great charm to explore the things. When I went there he got me to Tibidabo, Actually it is a beautiful mountain 512 meters tallest that offers a breathtaking view of city. It is the main point to take the glimpse of the amusement park, Tower, Temple and the Catholic Church etc. The best thing that I noticed during my visit it there is an amusement park which has an active ride option.
