The Sagrat Cor church is actually visible from all corners of Barcelona, and at night it lights up and looks beautiful and scary at the same time. It reminds me of a Disney movie.
From the top of church the view is amazing you can see all around the area and on a clear day you can see the island of Mallorca and even the French Pyrenees mountains!
This mountain is even higher than Montjuic and the views are panoramic as you can also see behind Barcelona, including that massive mountain of Montserrat.
Below the church area there is a big park with loads of different rides for adults and for the children. This amusement park is nice but quite expensive and you have to pay around 75 Euro per person for a day pass. If you are interested to go to Tibidabo there are many ways to go to the top. Firstly you can take the metro and bus with your T10 journey card. Another way is to take the metro (line 7) to Avinguda Tibidabo and then take the blue old tram (Tram Blau). That is a nice journey as the tram is very old and slow but enjoyable. For the Tram Blau you have to pay more as they cannot take the T10. After that you will need to take the mountain train (funicular) which will take you to the top (and again there are extra charges for this). Overall this option can take a long time to get to the top, but it is an exciting journey from the begining to the top.
My favourite way to get to the top of Tibidabo is to that the Tibi-bus T2 from Placa Catalunya. This journey goes non-stop directly to the top. The cost of the bus is around 5 euros return but it is worth it as the bus goes around some scary hair pin bends on the mountain roads and passes some breathtaking scenery.
Enjoy your time in Tibidabo and don't forget to take pictures, it will be a time to remember!
Good article, I love Barcelona as well.
