About this experience
Visiting Barcelona and not climbing the highest mountain in the city is a big mistake. I propose a journey to the Temple of the Sacred Heart, located at the top of Tibidabo.
What Awaits You
Our walk will start from Catalunya Square. By train, we will reach the funicular station, then take a unique wagon to climb the mountain slope and then walk to the top. There are other ways to Tibidabo. But according to legend, you need to climb this mountain on your own. Only in this case will your heart be open to boundless love.
During the ascent, I will tell you about the legends associated with this place. You will learn why the mountain is called Tibidabo; what was planned to be built on its top and how the idea of building the Temple of the Sacred Heart came about. I will tell you about the Catholic order of Salesians to which the temple belongs. About why its founder - Don Bosco - was not allowed into the church in the company of boys who constantly surrounded him. You will learn the history of the church's creation and understand why the temple was built for a long 60 years.
We will climb successively to several viewing platforms located at different levels of the temple and end up at the very feet of Christ opening His arms to Barcelona. According to numerous reviews, the views from this viewing platform make the strongest impression.
If desired, we can visit the oldest amusement park located right here - at the top of Tibidabo.
Organizational Details
Tickets for public transport, for the lift in the temple, and for the amusement park are paid for separately at your discretion.
