Private transfer from Barcelona Airport to Tibidabo
Transfer to Tibidabo. Fixed price, no changes.
Straight to the top of Tibidabo
Tibidabo is the 512-metre mountain above Barcelona, with the Sacred Heart church and Spain's oldest amusement park on the summit: 20 km from the airport, the drive takes ~30 min.
Getting up on your own takes two changes: first the train to Avinguda Tibidabo, then bus 196 to Plaça Doctor Andreu, and from there the funicular. The historic blue tram that used to run this route has been closed for renovation since 2018. A direct transfer climbs the winding road right to the square by the church: the road is the driver's, the view over the city is yours.
Econom - the most affordable: a Toyota, Hyundai or similar, up to three people with standard luggage. Eco - an electric or hybrid business-class car, a Tesla or Lexus, up to three people with standard luggage. Business - a business-class saloon (Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6), up to three people with standard luggage. Van - the choice for families and groups: seven seats, and the boot takes a pushchair, skis or a snowboard alongside the suitcases. Premium - meeting guests and special occasions: a car a class above Business, up to three passengers. Bus - a minibus for groups: up to sixteen passengers with their luggage.

Where you'll arrive
What awaits you on Tibidabo
The Sacred Heart church is visible from all over the city. A neo-Gothic basilica on the summit, and above it a bronze figure of Christ with outstretched arms. A lift takes you up to the viewing terrace right beneath the statue.
Spain's oldest amusement park. It opened in 1901, and some of the rides survive from those days: the 1928 aeroplane circling over the drop, and the mirror maze. The park is not open all year, so check the schedule in advance.
All of Barcelona in one view. From the terrace you see the city down to the sea, the Sagrada Família and, on a clear day, Montserrat on the horizon.
The Fabra observatory. One of the oldest working observatories in the world, opened in 1904. In summer it runs evening programmes with dinner on the terrace and stargazing through the historic telescope.
It is cooler at the top. A few degrees less than the city, and in the evening it is windy on the summit - a jacket is useful even in summer.
