It is impossible to get tired of the views of Barcelona. The skyline of Barcelona is very varied and you can see it from the sea, from Montjuic, from Tibidabo or even from Las Ramblas!
For this reason, we recommend our favorite viewpoints to see the city from the heights. You can go alone, as a couple or with friends and we assure you that you will be left speechless, as they are so beautiful that you can only do one thing: look, look and look.
Columbus Viewpoint
did you know that the Columbus monument is also a lookout point? Although at first glance it may not seem like it, you can climb to the top of the Tower and, from there, you will have a 360º view of the city. They would be more or less the same as those that someone would have if they were a lookout on the old ships that had just docked in the port of Barcelona.
📍Plaça del Portal de la Pau, 1 💵 General tickets 6€ 🕓 from 08:30h. to 14:00h.
Collserola Tower
This is the highest viewpoint in the city, it is 650 meters above sea level and, on clear days, the view reaches a radius of up to 70 kilometers away.
It is in the middle of Collserola and although you are inside an enclosed space, its large windows will make you feel as if you were flying in the middle of the sky.
📍Carretera de Vallvidrera al Tibidabo s/n | 💵 General admission tickets 5,60€ | 🕓 depending on the time of the year
Montjuïc Castle
The Castell de Montjuïc is already impressive in itself, but in addition, to complete your visit, you can not miss the 360º viewpoint that is located in what was the parade ground. From there you can see the entire coast of Barcelona to the Baix Lobregat, the center of Barcelona and even Tibidabo.
In addition, we recommend you to go to see the sunset on a Sunday, since it is free from 3 pm and it is an ideal romantic plan.
📍Ctra. de Montjuïc, 66 💵 General admission tickets 9€ 🕓 from 10am to 8pm.
Tibidabo
Apart from having the oldest amusement park in the country and the Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Orchestra, the mountain of Tibidabo has one of the most beautiful views of Barcelona. You don’t have to enter the Parc d’Atraccions del Tibidabo to enjoy them, although, without a doubt, the experience is much more authentic climbing from a Ferris wheel.
It also has a panoramic area with free access and, if you want, you can climb up there with the Cuca de llum, a funicular that opened in 2021 and has been a finalist in the prestigious Architizer A+ Awards for architecture.
📍Pl. del Tibidabo, 3 💵 Free access to the panoramic area 🕓 from 11am to 10pm.
Guinardó Park
If you are looking to see the city surrounded by nature, this is, without a doubt, the place to go. Being a little further away from the center and tourist areas, it tends to be less crowded than, for example, the Carmel bunkers and you can also enjoy breathtaking views of the city.
In addition, you can stroll along its dirt roads and take shelter from the sun under the shade of a tree. It’s one of those places worth going to spend the day.
