Tibidabo’s amusement park is a family day out with a difference – the backdrop of stunning cityscape views, stretching right to the Mediterranean horizon. Laid out on different levels of the mountain, all the traditional funfair rides are there, from flying chairs and dodgems to a truly vertiginous roller coaster ride. Tickets are on the pricey side but then again, you get a whole day’s entertainment. To save on costs, pack a picnic to scoff at one of the outdoor seating areas.
