Barcelona - Parc d'Atraccions 
Most visitors to Tibidabo head for the Parc de Atraccions, an amusement park constructed on several levels on the steep mountain-side, similar to that on the Montjuïc. Dating from 1901 the amusement park has recently been renovated. There are various types of rides (roller coaster, big wheel, dodgems, go-carts) and other amusements, games of skill, computer games, several restaurants and so on.

Families with children will find a visit to the park particularly worthwhile; it is best to plan to spend at least half a day there or, better still, a full day, when the visit can be combined with a visit to the Museu de la Ciència near the lower station of the Tramvia Blau.
As well as the normal entry ticket - which is comparatively cheap but only includes six determined attractions - there is an "all-in" ticket, which includes the use of all the facilities at no extra cost. The hours of opening vary but can be obtained from any tourist office.

Things to See
Mirador del Alcalde
Down from the amusement park we come to the Mirador del Alcalde with its fountains and superb view across the inner city area and the harbor. The paving in the pedestrian area is very unusual, consisting of concrete pipes, necks and bases from bottles, transmission chains, etc., all decoratively arranged.
Museu d'Automats
Tucked in among the other attractions in the Parc d'Atraccions is the Museu d'Autòmats, a collection of old juke-boxes, mechanical dolls, model railroads, etc.
