Guide to visiting Tibidabo: Tickets, schedules and how to come up

Tibidabo Park opened in 1901 and is still a benchmark for family leisure events today. Its privileged location is double the attraction for visitors: fun and see the city from above. It provides views of the entire Barcelona coastline, the urban fabric and, on clear days, even beyond the city.

If you have a question about how to get to Tibidabo, we can help you and plan your visit. You have to choose your transport carefully as it will make all the difference, especially if you are traveling with children.

La Cuca de Llum: funicular experience
Taking the funicular up is now part of the adventure. This transport connects the base of the mountain with the park in just a few minutes, offering greater comfort, sustainability and great views along the way. You can pick it up in Plaça del Doctor Andreu. This is the best option for families wanting to travel quickly and avoid complications.

How to get to Tibidabo by car
There are parking areas near the park, but at weekends and in high season it’s best to arrive early to ensure a space. There is a charge for the Tibidabo car park. It is a comfortable alternative if you travel with a pushchair or combine a visit with other activities in the upper part of the city.

By public transport: the TibiBus 
The TibiBus connects different parts of Barcelona with the park and is integrated with the public transport network. This is a practical and economical option, especially if you already use the metro or bus around the city and want to avoid driving.

Before buying, you should check Tibidabo opening hours and prices as they vary according to the season.

Ticket prices: Entire park or just panoramic area?

Tibidabo prices include access to the full park and all attractions included, and the cheaper option in the Panoramic Area, ideal if you only want to enjoy the views and some historical attractions.

Official calendar: check when they are open
The park is not open every day of the year. The family calendar includes weekends, public holidays and holiday periods, so checking the official dates is key to avoiding any unexpected events and organizing the family visit appropriately. Make sure you see their opening hours so you can visit the hotel not in a hurry.

Tibidabo combines tradition and modernity with attractions for all ages. You can discover the most iconic attractions and new additions over time.

Historical treasures: the Plane, the Talaia and the Automata Museum
Take a trip back in time on the Tibidabo plane or the Talaia. These centuries-old attractions are part of the emotional heritage of Barcelona and continue to fascinate children and adults. The Automata Museum completes this nostalgic journey.

For the whole family: the Carousel, Diavolo and Muntanya Russa
Families will find the Muntanya Russa roller coaster integrated with the natural environment, while the Carousel and Diavolo ensure fun for the little ones without losing sight of the surroundings and the views.

Next to the park is the Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, an icon which is visible from almost all over the city. The viewpoint offers one of the most stunning views of Barcelona and a visit to the rooftop area to complete the experience with a cultural and spiritual flair.

1. After a day touching the skies of Barcelona, compensate yourself with a rest at a high altitude. Staying in a well-connected hotel such as the Meliá Barcelona Sarrià allows you to combine family comfort and spaciousness. You can also stay at the ME Barcelona with an equally prime location and sophisticated and cutting-edge ambience for an immersive experience. Or add an extra dose of exclusivity to your stay at the Torre Melina Gran Meliá hotel. If you are more technologically aware and like being by the sea, the INNSiDE Barcelona Apolo will be ideal for you. All of them with prime locations to continue enjoying things to do in Barcelona with children after their visit to Tibidabo.
