Often regarded as the lungs of the old part of Barcelona, the stimulating Parc de la Ciutadella extends over thirty hectares of land and provides a nice contrast to the ever-busy Ciutat Vella, offering the passers-by a welcome opportunity to hide in the shade of luxuriant greenery, to take pleasure in a laid-back stroll along the wide promenades and to enjoy the moment in a very tranquil setting composed of bright and colorful flowerbeds, exotic palm trees, a small boating lake and a large zoo, but also featuring lots of remarkable works of architecture and museums to catch the eye.

The bountifully green and impressively diversified Parc del Guinardó is one of the largest public parks in Barcelona. Although the park is very leisurely in its character, the way up to its central part is quite a challenge as it is located on rather steep hills, so typical of this part of the city. Yet, the scenic surroundings of the nearby districts offer some breathtaking panoramas too and the abundance of green spaces makes it really pleasant to stroll around. Of course, the highlight of the available landscapes awaits you directly in the park, so better gather your strength and prepare for a whole day of adventure in the lovely setting of stimulating greenery, picturesque hills and wonderful sights wherever you turn your eyes.

Designed by Catalonia’s most famous architect Antoni Gaudi, and located within the enchanting district of Gracia, Parc Güell is truly one of the most impressive public parks in the world! Though it was never fully completed, the park remains one of Gaudi’s greatest works still mesmerizing visitors with its colorful and playful design.
