Tibidabo

 
Overview

Tibidabo is a hill overlooking Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. At 512 metres, it is the tallest hill in the Serra de Collserola. Rising sharply to the north-west, it has views over the city and the surrounding coastline.

Description

The summit of the hill is occupied by the Sagrat Cor church and adjacent Tibidabo Amusement Park. Framing the north end of the city, the pine-forested mountain of Tibidabo, which tops out at 512m, is the highest peak in Serra de Collserola. Much of its surrounding gorgeous green expanses are protected within the 80-sq-km Parc Natural de Collserola, which is a delight to hike, run and cycle through. Highlights of a trip up to Tibidabo include superb views from the top; an old-fashioned amusement park; a telecommunications tower with viewing platform; and a looming church that's visible from many parts of the city.
