How to get there in the "off season", when there is no direct transport: from the metro station “Av. Tibidabo” (line L7) by bus 196 to the final stop. Then transfer to the funicular (Funicular del Tibidabo), which will take you directly to the mountain. The price of the funicular is 7.70 euros. Metro + bus are charged as one trip.

Mount Tibidabo is the highest point in the city. It's definitely worth the climb for the views of the city! Plus, if you're into amusement parks, this is the very first amusement park in Spain with lots of old-fashioned carousels.

Also here is the Expiatory Temple of the Sacred Heart (Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor). The entrance is free. Ascent to the observation deck - 2 euros.

The three parts of the church are the three stages of purification. A squat crypt of dark stone from Montjuic, with heavy arches - a sin. Light, soaring, slender basilica of Gothic lines - repentance and purification. And above all this - the image of the Sacred Heart - Jesus with open arms, a bridge between heaven and earth.
