About this tour
This session covers the view from Tibidabo, the hill above Barcelona reached by an old funicular. You see the terraces of the Sagrat Cor church and then the view across the whole city and coastline from beside it. It is the single widest view the city has to offer.
I start near the church terraces and move for a clearer angle on the view, timing the session for good light over the coast. Questions are welcome throughout, and I send a short note afterwards.
This suits anyone who wants Barcelona explained from above before or after exploring it at street level. It also works well as an evening session as the light changes.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
