The Funicular del Tibidabo is an old cable-railway which was inaugurated in 1901. It will take you from the Plaça del Doctor Andreu where the Tramvia Blau (“The Blue Tramâ€), survivor of the old Barcelona, ends its short but nice journey, to the top of the Tibidabo mountain at 512 meters high. There, you’ll discover the Tibidabo amusement park, a telecommunication tower and a Catholic Church with the “Sacred Heart of Jesus” sculpture at its top, overlooking the city.
