One of the biggest joys in backpacking is sending postcards to friends & family back home. As a Barcelona backpacker, you'll find plenty of beautiful postcards while you visit our city. But wait, if you can get the best shot of Barcelona, why you'd want to buy postcards?

Our Hostel in Barcelona will share some spots you might like to visit, following the places that appear in the famous Woody Allen´s movie “Vicky, Christina, Barcelona” and more.

In this post, we recommend you to visit Tibidabo, the most beautiful Barcelona's amusement park, located on Collserola hill. With spectacular views, it does not only stand out for being the perfect viewpoint, also is well known for the lightings on church at night that became one of the famous landmarks of the city.

Tibidabo is one of the oldest amusement parks in the world that was also featured in the Woody Allen's film Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Since you're coming to our Hostel in Barcelona, we suggest you to visit the same places and make your own memories as in the movies! Tibidabo is one of the most exciting places to have a tapa or a snack while overlooking the city. High up there at 512 meters, Barcelona does not look the same, you'll get a magical view with one of the most beautiful pictures of Barcelona that is possible, the perfect postcard to show back at home. This way you can save money in buying postcards and having the perfect day at the same time! This is the way  Barcelona backpackers share their special moments at Barcelona with their beloved ones.

To get there from our Hostel in Barcelona is easy: Take the metro at Clot <L1 – red line> and make a transfer to <L7 – brown line>, to the “Av. Tibidabo” direction at Plaça Catalunya. You may catch the famous "Tramvia Blau" (blue streetcar, a funicular railway), built in 1901, from the Tibidabo station.  The old funicular will bring you up to Tibidabo.

At the end of the day, when you return to your Hostel in Barcelona, you'll feel like you have spent your day on a cloud with a perfect urban landscape at your feet  ... the most spectacular view of Barcelona.
