Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tibidabo open every day?

No. The park opens on selected days, mainly weekends, holidays and in summer. When you book, the calendar only shows the days the park is open.

Do children need a ticket for Tibidabo?

Children under 90cm go free. Prices are based on height, so children between 90cm and 120cm pay a reduced price and anyone over 120cm pays the full price.

How do we get there?

Take the FGC train (L7) to Avinguda Tibidabo, or the metro (L3 or L5) to Vall d’Hebron. From both, the free TibiBus takes you to the Cuca de Llum funicular, which goes up to the park. The funicular is included in your ticket.

Can we take a pushchair?

Yes, but the park is on a hill with slopes and some steps, so a lightweight pushchair is easiest.

Can we bring our own food?

Yes. You can bring a picnic and eat it in the park’s picnic areas (but not in the restaurant seating areas). There are also restaurants, cafés and snack stands if you’d rather buy food there.

How does the free TibiBus work?

The TibiBus is free with a park ticket. It runs during park opening hours, only on days the park is open. Before you get on, swap your ticket for a wristband. For the Plaça Kennedy stop (T2C), swap it at the Tibidabo Store, Passeig de Sant Gervasi 36. For the Vall d’Hebron stop (T2B), swap it at the ticket offices on the upper level of the Sant Genís–Vall d’Hebron car park. Show your wristband when you get on. The bus takes you to the Cuca de Llum funicular, which leaves every 5 minutes. The ride up to the park takes 4 minutes.
