Tibidabo
Named for the Devil's own words: "Tibidabo," the Latin he used to tempt Jesus on a high peak, now crowned by a Sacred Heart statue over Barcelona.

At 512m it's the tallest hill in the Serra de Collserola, so the city and its coastline fall away below you — and the summit pairs an amusement park with Enric Sagnier's Sacred Heart church.
What to look for
- The Sacred Heart of Jesus statue by Josep Miret Llopart atop the church, begun in 1902 and 60 years in the making.
- The funicular up — Spain's first, running again since June 2021 — while the Tramvia Blau tram stays out of service.
- The Torre de Collserola telecom tower a short walk off, a landmark visible from most of the city.
Ride the funicular (back since 2021), drive up, or take bus TC2 or minibus 111 — the historic Tramvia Blau tram is out of service.
Tibidabo is one of 39 sights worth the detour in Barcelona, all bundled offline in Voyage GO — download the Barcelona pack and it sits on your map with no signal, filling your travel passport the moment you walk past.
