Top city attractions for Kids

Park Güell- Gaudi’s fantastic creation is something out of a fairytale, with Hansel and Gretel houses, ornamental dragons, and leafy plazas to take a rest.



La Rambla- No visit to the city is complete without a stroll down this famous street. Starting at Plaça Catalunya and stretching down to the port, children and adults alike are treated to flower sellers, animal stalls, painters, artists, human statues and street performers.



Cable Cars- The city is flanked by two mountains, and Montjüic is the one looking over the sea. There are two cable car rides from Montjüic – one which crosses the sea over to Barceloneta and the beach, and the second which transports you up to the old castle. Both offer great views of the city sprawling below and are a sure-fire hit with the kids.



L’Aquarium Barcelona- This is a fantastic aquarium. Home to  Europe’s largest sea tunnel – like a perspex walkway where the sharks, rays, and moonfish swim above and around you – and a day’s worth of tanks, special exhibitions, marine history, and some really funny penguins!



Cuitadella Park- Home to the city zoo. This park also has numerous play areas, row boats, fountains, and plazas.



Magic Fountains Montjüic- Located at Plaça Espanya, the nightly show features a water fountain that dances to lights and music. It’s much better later in the summer, when it’s completely dark.
