Fòrum stop
The Barcelona Bus Turístic takes you to one of the most modern areas of the city, developed in the 2000s. Here you'll find the Parc del Fòrum, a large collection of event spaces, and the Barcelona Natural Sciences Museum.
A modern recreational and architectural complex
The Fòrum stop on the Red Route of the Barcelona Bus Turístic reaches the point where the Diagonal almost touches the sea. The area is dominated by the Parc del Fòrum, which encompasses all the facilities created to host the Universal Forum of Cultures held in Barcelona in 2004, the Museu Blau, the headquarters of the Barcelona Natural Sciences Museum, and the Diagonal Mar shopping center.
El Parc del Fòrum is a large reclaimed space by the sea where concerts, conferences, and all kinds of events take place, with the triangular building designed by architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron standing out.
On the other side of the Ronda Litoral, you'll find the Museu Blau, where you can explore the history of life and the Earth and view the skeleton of a whale found on the beach of Llançà in 1862. Right in front of the museum, the Diagonal Mar shopping center stands tall.
