Viewpoints in Barcelona

10 places

Barcelona looks different from above: Tibidabo and the Collserola tower on the ridge, Montjuïc and its cable car over the port, the Bunkers del Carmel with views across the whole city, and the Columbus Monument at the foot of La Rambla.

Each one frames the sea, the Eixample and the hills in its own way. Here are Barcelona's viewpoints with the address and practical details of each.

Bunkers del Carmel

Montserrat

Montserrat is one of those places that no visitor to Barcelona should overlook. Less than an hour from the city, the mountain surprises with its unmistakable silhouette: rock needles that seem hand-sculpted and that have inspired pilgrims, artists and curious travellers for centuries.
