The best way to get to Tibidabo is to take the regional
trains S1 (Terrassa) or S2 (Sabadell). The easiest place to meet up with them
is to take them from Placa Catalunya (where they originate) or at Provenca.
Just follow the FGC/Regional train signs. Trains come around every 10 minutes.
S1 or S2 will take you to Peu del Funicular, where you’ll exit the train, go up
the stairs (without exiting the station) and take the Funicular (or cable car)
up the mountain to Vallvidrera Superior. Exit the station and find the bus stop for Bus
111 that will take you up the hill to Tibidabo. You can use your same metro
pass on the bus (it won’t charge you), though most don’t even put their metro
pass into the machines on the bus. The bus will take you all the way to the top
where the views are amazing.

The theme park may be 2nd rate in Catalunya, but
it’s also not a bad deal if you have a family. A Tibiclub pass covers your
family (or at least it did ours, 4 kids and 2 adults) for around 160 Euro,
which is only about 5 euro more than taking the family for only one day. Two
visits to the park, and you’ve already made up the cost of the pass (and then
some). What’s more, the park is rarely crowded, and most rides have little to
no lines. Sometimes we rode a ride by ourselves. The roller coast (Muntanya Russa) has the best view of Barcelona in the city.
