The most famous part of Parc del Laberint d’Horta is of course the maze made of pollarded cypress trees. Jump in to the labyrinth, and find your way out!
La Barceloneta beach
La Barceloneta is a neighborhood edging the Port Vell and the Barceloneta beach. From there you will find lots of restaurants and bars, and of course the long sand beach. Have a walk on the narrow streets of the neighborhood, or enjoy strolling along the beach and feeling the sea breeze in your hair.
Parc de la Ciutadella
Parc de la Ciutadella is a huge park which includes the Zoo of Barcelona, the Parliament of Catalonia, museums, a lake, and a huge fountain. The park covers an area up to 18 hectares. In Ciutadella you can hire a boat, have a nice afternoon walk, or enjoy a picnic. The park is a perfect place for escaping the noise and bustle of the city.
Bunkers del Carmel
From the old bunkers outside the city center you will have a spectacular view over Barcelona. It is also a great place for watching the sunset. You might recognize the view, because the bunkers have been used as a location for many music videos.
For getting to the bunkers take the bus number 24 from Passeig the Gracia and get off at Carrer Muhlberg.
Tibidabo
The Tibidabo amusement park is 100 years old, and therefore one of the oldest amusement parks in the world.
