View From Tibidabo
Tibidabo
Barcelona's second landmark hill is Tibidabo, about four miles
(6km) northwest of the city in a wooded range that forms a backdrop
to the city. Tibidabo can be reached by funicular, and is
particularly popular at weekends with locals because it is home to
the Parc d'Atraccions, an amusement park with some thrill rides and
renowned house of horrors. Tibidabo also features the soaring Torre
de Collserola telecommunications tower, which offers visitors the
chance to ride in a glass lift to an observation platform 377 feet
(115m) high to enjoy a spectacular view. There is also a large,
interesting church called Temple del Sagrat Cor surmounted by a
giant Christ statue, which also offers a lift to a rooftop viewing
platform.
