TIBIDABO
Amusement Park. For the vintage lovers this is a great place to remember childhood (if you are more than 30 years old) and a fun place for children too. With a beautiful view from Barcelona, this is the third oldest amusement park in Europe. Most of the original rides (some of them from the 20th century are still in use). The park opened in 1899, and it offers more than 25 attractions. The Red Airplane is still one of the most famous ones; a single car carousel gives the impression of flight above the city. How cool is to think that the thought about that back in 1928!! Definitely, it is worth the visit.
Snorkel adventure
If your kids are older than 7 years old, this is a good plan for you. Join our kayaking and snorkeling tours in Costa Brava. Discover the beauty under the sea –you may have to chance to see an octopus or a starfish, among other creatures– and experience and adventurous day outside Barcelona (but still close). You will only need your bath clothes, sunscreen, and we take care of the rest.
