Best spots for views of Barcelona

barcelona-913762_960_720

Thanks to Barcelona’s urban design, its skyline is one of the most striking in Europe. The Catalan capital boasts panoramic views of the Collserola mountains and the Mediterranean Sea.

Nestled against this striking backdrop, Barcelona is a vibrant city. The emblematic architecture of the city has made Barcelona iconic for locals and tourists. Another symbol of the city is its grid plan, which is particularly visible in neighbourhoods like Eixample.

Towards the mountain-facing side of the city, there are several hills that indicate the edge of Barcelona’s central area. It is at this point that we can see Tibidabo, a mountain overlooking the city. From this vantage point, we can enjoy excellent views of the Barcelona skyline.

Panoramic views of the Catalan capital There are a number of locations surrounding Barcelona that offer fantastic panoramic views – for free.

Rooftop bars, many of which are located at the top of hotels, are getting trendy and they offer great outlooks over Barcelona. We recommend Barceló Hotel Rooftop in Ciutat Vella and Axel Hotel in Eixample.

While Sants-Montjuïc, a green gem in the centre of the metropolis, offers more beautiful views of the cosmopolitan capital.

The neighbourhoods Horta, Nou Barris and Sarrià-Sant Gervasi are located at the highest point of the city. These districts are home to hidden spots overlooking Barcelona’s cityscape. For instance, Turó de la Rovira, El Putxet and the Tibidabo offer superb natural viewpoints. But the best place to see the city’s skyline is off the beaten track at the very well known Búnkers del Carmel.

Atipika offers a selection of properties, like this amazing maisonette penthouse, complete with a private terrace, which will allow you to enjoy some of the wonderful views without having to leave the comfort of your living room. The penthouse is located in the heart of the city close to Plaça Catalunya, Passeig de Gràcia, and overlooking Barcelona’s top icon La Sagrada Familia.
