Tibidabo Amusement Park: Tickets, Opening Days and Getting There

Tibidabo Amusement Park, the Parc d’Atraccions del Tibidabo, sits on top of Tibidabo hill in the Collserola ridge above Barcelona. A general ticket costs 39 euros for anyone taller than 120 cm and includes the Cuca de Llum funicular and the Tibibus shuttles. In November the park opens on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 to 19:00, according to Barcelona City Council’s listing for the park.

People go for the old rides and the view: the top level of the park looks over the whole city and the sea. The park is publicly owned and run by the city, and it opens on selected days rather than every day, so checking the calendar before you go matters more here than at most attractions.

A park that dates back to 1899

The idea for an amusement park on the hill came from pharmacist Salvador Andreu in 1899, who also planned a funicular and a tram line to reach it, according to Wikipedia’s history of the park. The funicular and the Tranvía Azul (Blue Tram) were inaugurated on Oct. 29, 1901, and the first rides were installed in 1905. Barcelona City Council owns the park today, and the municipal company Barcelona de Serveis Municipals (B:SM) operates it.

Several early rides still run. The Talaia, which lifts riders in two buckets to 551 metres above sea level, opened on Dec. 18, 1921. The Avió, built in 1928, is a replica of the plane that made the first commercial flight from Madrid to Barcelona in 1927; it hangs from a crane and moves in a circle. Newer additions include the Muntanya Russa roller coaster, which replaced an older coaster in the 2008/2009 winter season, the Giradabo Ferris wheel from 2014, and Merlí, a 50-metre drop tower that opened in July 2024.

What to see and do

The park is built on several levels down the hillside. Visitors enter at the top, the Àrea Panoràmica (Panoramic Area), at 516 metres above sea level, where the Avió, Talaia, Giradabo and a Venetian carousel stand. Lower levels hold most of the other rides, including the Embruixabruixes suspended monorail, a house of mirrors and the Crash Cars bumper cars.

The Museu d’Autòmats (Museum of Automata) shows mechanical figures that have been part of the park since its early years; its oldest piece, The Mandolin Clown, dates from 1880. The city listing also includes a family activities programme running from Feb. 28, 2026, to Jan. 5, 2027, and a guided visit called “Tibitour” from March 14, 2026, to Jan. 5, 2027.

Rides open in stages. From 11:00 you can ride the Giradabo, Talaia, Avió, Carrusel, Miramiralls, Crash Cars, Virtual Express, Globus, Diavolo, Piratta and Muntanya Russa. The rest open from 12:00. The Panoramic Area opens at 11:00, and a park ticket also covers the rides of the Camí del Cel (Sky Walk).

How to get there

The park is at Plaça del Tibidabo, 3, in the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district. The Cuca de Llum funicular leaves from Plaça Doctor Andreu, and the ride up takes about 4 minutes each way, according to the park’s funicular timetable. Departures vary by month, and the funicular closes for most of January.

Because of an outbreak of African swine fever (PPA in Catalan) in the area, the city has put prevention measures in place. It recommends reaching Tibidabo by the Cuca de Llum or by private car; drivers should use only the authorised access roads and park in the Aparcament del Tibidabo.

Tips for visiting

Arrive near 11:00 if you want the rides on the top level first, then work your way down once the others open at 12:00.
Bring proof of age, residence or family status if you are buying a reduced ticket.
Measure young children before you go: the 90 cm and 120 cm marks decide the price.
