Tibidabo and its panoramic view<\/h2>\n

\"tibidabo<\/p>\n

The park is an emblematic site in Barcelona, situated on mount Tibidabo, the highest peak in the city (512 metres) on the Collserola <\/strong>hill. It is surrounded by a forest area that is home to 10 million trees.\n<\/p>\n

My top 5 unmissable attractions at Tibidabo<\/h2>\n

\nThere is something for everyone, and visitors of all ages will find their favourites among the 25 attractions that the park offers.<\/p>\n

The following are my top 5. Begin countdown…\n<\/p>\n

5- La Talaia<\/h3>\n

\nYou are surely all familiar with the concept; there is a platform at each end and it makes a complete circle allowing you to enjoy an impressive panoramic view. This is what the Talaia does, offering an incredible view over all of Barcelona, and particularly over the rest of the park’s amusements, the forest and the neighbouring areas.<\/p>\n

Advice: if you suffer from vertigo, don’t go too close to the edge!<\/p>\n

4- La Mina d’or<\/h3>\n

\nLa Mina d’or is a ride at Tibidabo where you float along the water while sitting in a little boat shaped like a log. You make a few big splashes and you may very well get soaked, especially if you’re sitting in the front!<\/p>\n

3- Muntanya Russa<\/h3>\n

\nThe Muntanya Russa<\/em> is a classic rollercoaster with the added advantage of providing an extraordinary view of Barcelona, while taking the biggest drop in the whole amusement park!  It’s a powerful experience!<\/p>\n

2- Kruger hotel<\/h3>\n

\nThis Tibidabo hotel is one of the greatest attractions of the park. Once you have finished queuing you will be led through by a hotel guardian who will take you on a horrifying tour including monsters that appear out of nowhere or follow you…this a place for fright and fun!<\/p>\n

1- L’huracà<\/h3>\n

\nL’Huracà (hurricane in English) is my favourite ride. You often find yourself upside down, and spinning around, and if you love powerful sensations, it’s a winner!<\/p>\n
