Parkings in Tibidabo - Barcelona

Where to park to go to Tibidabo?

The mountain began to be urbanised at the end of the 19th century, gradually transforming it into one of the most unforgettable corners of Barcelona.

The Sant Gervasi-La Bonanova neighbourhood is the starting point for your Tibidabo experience. Here you'll find the Cosmocaixa car park, at C. de los Cuatro Caminos, 89, 08022, Barcelona, located at the foot of the mountain.

This Tibidabo car park is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., so it offers ample flexibility to adapt to all visitors. It is perfectly connected to the Ronda de Dalt, an essential access to the Tibidabo funicular, which is just a 15-minute walk away.

It has spaces reserved for people with reduced mobility and, to make your parking experience even easier, a panel accurately indicates the number of free spaces. It also has mobile coverage inside. Finally, you should know that you can book at this Tibidabo car park with total freedom and convenience.

How to get to Tibidabo from the car park?

Although you can get to the car park at the top of Tibidabo by car, it's advisable to leave your car at the Saba Cosmocaixa car park and take the Tibidabo funicular to the summit. As you start to climb the mountain progressively, you'll be able to enjoy unique panoramic views of Barcelona. You also have bus lines at your disposal in Pg. Sant Gervasi (just a 5-minute walk from the car park) that connect you efficiently with the centre of Barcelona.

What to do in and around Tibidabo Mountain?

Once you've got off the funicular, you'll enter Barcelona's most emblematic mountain. The first thing you'll notice is the Tibidabo amusement park, founded in 1901. Over the years, the park has retained its retro charm, but at the same time has incorporated modern attractions for visitors of all ages to enjoy.

A must-see is the impressive Collserola Tower, a modern telecommunications antenna designed by architect Norman Foster. Inaugurated in 1992 for the Barcelona Olympic Games, this tower has a lookout point at the top that stands 268 metres high and offers panoramic views of Barcelona.

If you've found parking in Tibidabo and want to complete an unforgettable experience, it's advisable to visit the Expiatory Temple of the Sacred Heart and the Fabra Observatory.

The Expiatory Temple of the Sacred Heart is historicist in style, combining Neo-Byzantine, Neo-Romanesque and Neo-Gothic elements. It is made of Montjuïc stone and has a double staircase that makes a spectacular backdrop for a photograph. And if you look closely, you'll find a chapel dating from 1886.

The Fabra Observatory was designed by Josep Domènech i Estapà and built in 1901 on the initiative of Camil Fabra, Marquis of Alella. Today, this observatory continues to carry out scientific meteorological, seismological and astronomical research. It is 413 metres above sea level and is one of the most magical places in Tibidabo.
