The area includes several impressive parks and gardens but there is undoubtedly one place that stands out above the rest: Tibidabo, a hill popular for its incredible views over the whole of Barcelona. Here you will find both an iconic church – the Expiatory Temple of the Sacred Heart – and the Tibidabo amusement park, beloved of Barcelona families for generations.

Several routes lead from La Bonanova to the Collserola mountain range, considered one of the largest metropolitan parks in the world. Among them is the Carretera de les Aigües, which is highly regarded by runners and cyclists looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Descending from the green hillsides into La Bonanova’s streets reveals an elegant and stately neighbourhood of townhouses, villas and mansions, many featuring Catalan modernist architecture, as well as abundant small shops and restaurants plus countless prestigious schools.
