The views you got from here were absolutly incredible! Its a shame there is the amusment park infront of it and it does get in the way of some photos. Make sure you have a good wander around to see different areas of Barcelona. We got the L7 metro line to Av. Tibidabo and then walked to the funnicular station which was about 25 minutes. The funnicular on the way up was not worth the ride, which I think was €12 each return for adults, the views were better at the top so I'd suggest getting an uber or taxi up if there are several of you as its probably cheaper and you're not missing out on anything. Beautiful views and worth the travel time. The church itself is free to go in but you do have to ay if you want to go up to th top.

A thirty minute taxi drive to right by the church seemed like a sensible way to start the trip, that was until it came time to leave when trying to buy a one way ticket down on the funicular was a nightmare of queueing and miscommunication. Anyway, the church inside is impressive with the usual mix of vaulted ceilings, impressive stained glass and frescos. The real highlight though is up on the roof and the view for miles out across the city and the surrounding forests. A great place to visit if you have exhausted the city centre itself and have young kids that would enjoy the pretty basic amusement park outside the church, if you are sensible and left the kids at home just enjoy the views.

Climbed Tibidabo Hill out of Barcelona City on foot through woodland paths and up several steep sections. An enjoyable hike of about 3 miles from the outskirts of the city. Extraordinary to see this church at the top of the hill surrounded by an amusement park!!! Great views of the city and coast. Inside the Basilica is peaceful and serene with lovely stained glass windows

Normally I would say don’t bother with the Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor de Jesús (Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus) as internally it’s a pretty average church compared to others in Barcelona. But much of its attraction comes from its privileged location on one of the highest peaks in the city, from which you get truly excellent views. But once you’ve made it up here you might as well take a look at the inside of the church, which oddly is on two levels. The ground level has some impressive frescos and stained glass windows, then the upper level once you climb the steps is more about the columns to the roof space but still has some nice statues and features. However, it’s the views from here that really win the day.

Worth navigating your way here and best arriving by funicular. Get a ticket to use the lift which will take you to the highest point where the views are fabulous. The theme park was closed so less screeching kids. Inside the church it’s impressive. Fidelscastrol.
