In order to discover the city from another point of view, we suggest you to go up to one of these hills and enjoy the natural area within walking distance from the hustle and bustle of the city. And if you are an adventurer soul, you can explore all the hills and make a route five hours long!
Turó del Carmel 267 m.
This is the highest hill in Barcelona and also one of the most visited, because in its way there is the famous Park Güell… a space that will take you deep into the magical and modernist world of Gaudí.

Turó de la Rovira 261 m.
A rustic forest, a city park and a historic park converge to form the Parc del Guinardó on this hill. At the highest point are the remains of bunkers built during the Civil War that were reused and subsequently transformed as barracks, a refuge for newcomers to the city. Since this March the space has been renovated and opened to the public.

Turó d’en Modolell 121 m.
The streets of the city have absorbed the smallest of the hills and its highest point is fully “camouflaged” by the urban landscape.

However, if you are more classic and want your holiday to Europe is full of luxurious details provided, then the best option for you is to book a room in Prague or a room in Barcelona that will become your haven of peace.
