New season begins at Tibidabo

Visitors to Barcelona can now visit the city’s Tibidabo amusement park, which opened for its new season on February 28th.

Tibidabo Theme Park, Barcelona

The park’s new star attraction, according to the city council, is a rollercoaster that offers impressive views over Barcelona.

Visitors will be carried along a 718-metre long course at speeds of up to 80km per hour, reaching a maximum height of 522 metres.

Another new addition to Tibidabo this year is an educational activity for children designed by technology teacher Lluis Ribas, who also helps to run the park’s automaton museum.

Older visitors can head to the park from April this year to take advantage of Tibidabo Plus, a programme of activities that includes painting, walks and more.

People who use the funicular to reach the park can get their fare refunded when they buy their entrance ticket. An alternative transport option is the Tibibus, which operates from Placa de Catalunya every day.

Another option for thrill-seekers visiting Barcelona is the PortAventura theme park, which can be reached by taking a day-trip from the city.
