Visiting the rose garden in Cervantes Park
The vegetation of Cervantes Park is lush, leafy, simply spectacular, with large trees that determine the landscape and become the main protagonists.
If we start the visit from the Ronda de Dalt, the first thing we find is a large semicircular pergola full of climbing roses of 233 different varieties. This is a shady spot, with benches to sit and contemplate not only the rose garden, but also the magnificent views of Barcelona.

Visiting Plaça de Sant Felip Neri
The Sant Felip Neri square is one of the most special corners of the city, a place of calm where you can take refuge from the daily hustle and bustle. It is located at the end of two alleys that lead to nowhere but the square itself, and stands out for its humility: in reality, it is nothing more than a small, quiet space, presided over by a fountain surrounded by Renaissance buildings, a school and a baroque church.
Climbing Tibidabo
If you like heights and fun, a good option is to climb Tibidabo, the oldest amusement park in Spain and the second oldest in Europe. There you can enjoy more than 25 attractions for all tastes and ages, from the most classic to the most modern, and breathtaking views of the city. In addition, you can visit the Expiatory Temple of the Sacred Heart, an architectural jewel that crowns the mountain. To climb Tibidabo, you can choose from several public transport options, such as the shuttle bus, the funicular or the historic Tramvia Blau.
Enjoy a Candlelight concert in the Gaudí Crypt.
Get to know the Candlelight experience, a series of concerts presented under the light of thousands of lighted candles that aim to bring classical and popular music to audiences in various cities around the world. The Gaudí Crypt is an architectural work located in the city of Barcelona, and one of the first works of the architect Antoni Gaudí. It is located in Colonia Güell and was built between 1898 and 1914. Today, it is considered a masterpiece of Catalan modernism. A perfect place for a romantic date.
Night visit to the Fabra Observatory
If you are passionate about astronomy and want to contemplate the night sky of Barcelona, do not miss the night visit to the Fabra Observatory, an emblematic building that stands on the Collserola mountain range since 1904. There you can attend a scientific lecture, visit the museum, the modernist hall and the dome, and observe the stars with the 1904 telescope, one of the largest and oldest in Europe that is still in operation. In addition, you can enjoy a glass of cava or a welcome fruit juice.
