From your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">flat<\/a>\u00a0or hotel, you can either <strong>drive<\/strong>, which takes approximately half an hour from the <strong>city centre<\/strong>\u00a0to the park at the top, or take the <strong>train<\/strong>. The train to <strong>Tibidabo<\/strong> itself is a <strong>fun journey<\/strong>. You can take it from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/placa-catalunya\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Plaza Catalunya<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0all the way to\u00a0<strong>Av.\u00a0Tibidado<\/strong>, where you can embark on a <strong>traditional mountain railway,<\/strong> and then a <strong>funicular train<\/strong> up to the top. It&#8217;s an exciting\u00a0journey with lots of different aspects, however, it&#8217;s fairly expensive and in the summer and over weekends it can be rather\u00a0crowded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For a <strong>cheaper<\/strong> and less busy option, take the train from Plaza Catalunya to <strong>Peu del Funicular<\/strong>, where you can take take the connecting funicular up to <strong>Vallvidera Superior<\/strong>.
