Tibidabo - Plaça Kennedy stop
From the Tibidabo – Plaça Kennedy stop you can walk through a residential area full of Modernista and Noucentista buildings or start the climb to the top of Tibidabo and its amusement park via the funicular, called Cuca de Llum.
A period journey to the bottom of the funicular
The Tibidabo – Plaça Kennedy stop on the Blue Route of Barcelona Bus Turístic is located on Passeig de Sant Gervasi at the very start of Avinguda del Tibidabo, from where you can take a bus that will bring you closer to the funicular.
The Cuca de Llum is the funicular that was inaugurated in 2021 and is the fastest, most comfortable, and sustainable way to access the so-called Magic Mountain of Barcelona. With a modern design, offering panoramic views throughout the journey, it is considered the park’s first attraction. With a capacity of 252 passengers, the Cuca de Llum takes just 4 minutes to reach the park. Additionally, it features screens and tablets to offer educational content during the ascent.
In addition to exploring the Collserola sierra, fun is assured at the Tibidabo Amusement Park, and if you climb Norman Foster’s Torre Collserola, you can see Barcelona from a lookout point some 560 metres tall.
You can also discover that the figure on the summit of the mountain that is visible from the entire city is standing atop the Temple del Sagrat Cor, a neo-Gothic church from the mid-20th century dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus built by Enric Sagnier.
Additionally, if you climb up Avinguda del Tibidabo to the bottom of the mountain, you can also visit an interactive science museum, CosmoCaixa, and the Torre Bellesguard, a house in the form of a castle designed by Gaudí over a tower from the 15th century that belonged to the last King of Aragon to be from the House of Barcelona.
