Locals and tourists alike love to hang out here: the many trees provide welcome shades in the summer, and it is much quieter than the beach. The Nature Museum set in a castle is a big plus.

This park has a breathtaking cascade monument, which has gold statutes, greenery, rocks and smaller fountains. It’s really nice place to sit on the grass and enjoy the sun – and it’s free.

This is a great place for a sunny day to chill with your friends or have a delicious picknick. They have free WIFI and there is a Zoo inside of the park.

One of the few green spaces of Barcelona. Everyone try to get tan on the grass of this park. The paths are wide and a lot of people is walking through close to the cyclist.

Best. Park. Ever. Literally went here like 3 times over 3 days. They've got water features, flowers, greenhouse, fancy building, fancy statues, and even a woolly mammoth. What more could you ask for!
Jonathan PayneSeptember 24, 2019

Gorgeous park in Barcelona. Check out the buildings, have a picnic, or use a rowing boat on the small lake.

Best park in Barcelona. Ideal for picnics, playing/ listening to music, walking around, doing yoga, running, walking the dog! It's quite big! Make sure you see the artificial lake and the fountain!
MajaJanuary 29, 2015
Peaceful, beautiful park to spend a warm day picnicking, paddling on a lake in a rented boat with a loved one or simply enjoying the surroundings on a bench in shadows. You cannot miss the fountain!
Santo DomingoApril 16, 2016
One of the coolest parks in Barcelona. First take some pictures of the fountain and then chill in the park to listen to people jamming in the sun.
Andre RauchAugust 1, 2018
Fantastic park where you´ll find a small lake, a beautiful monument and the Zoo. You´ll see many locals, expats & tourists sitting around in the grass, playing music and having fun.

Don't miss your chance to see this amazing monument and mosey around this huge Barcelona park! Rowboat, picnic, whatever you choose...Parc Ciutadella is an outdoor haven!
Apartment BarcelonaDecember 11, 2012
The perfect spot to unwind! The amazing backdrop only adds to the laid back feel of this beautiful park - don't miss the majestic fountains, or your chance to rent a row boat!

A paddle on the pond at Parc Ciutadella. Does life get more relaxing than that?

Nice place for jogging, take the dogs and if you don't want to avoid the typical picnic, this is the place. During spring, summer and part of autumn, going during the weekend is annoying. Too crowed.

Beautiful park! Entrance to the park is free. It has a lake and a giant mammoth statue! It also has a Zoo inside.

One of the most important green spaces in the city. Great to go around the lake on a rowing boat (you can rent one here). Also don't miss the arch and fountain of the amazing Cascada.
Urbane International Real EstateApril 2, 2018
It's a great place for a picnic or a walk. If you have a dog even better! Can get very busy and you should keep an eye on your belongings!

Nice park to walk around and relax in, it closes at night though
Gökçe RynneApril 14, 2015
Beautiful park. You can hire a boat (9€ for 3 people, 10€ for 4 people for 1/2 hour) which is a different experience.
Olivér KovácsOctober 6, 2014
A perfect place to relax on a sunny day. Bring sandwiches and eat them in the nice, shady picnic area or near the impressive waterfall fountain.
Duygu Sevimli ÇeltikMay 15, 2017
In mornings and afternoons cheer up spot, rent a bike and explore park's inside and around. And please read book in greenhouse in place of me :(
Gunilla JessingApril 14, 2014
Close to the park is the small hotel La Ciudadela. No luxury but a very good restaurant both outside and inside. It has a perfect situation close to the wonderful park.
Risiana LevieSeptember 22, 2015
This park is so nice. Great place to have a picnic, stroll around, see some nice things.

great relaxing place if you want a break of the concrete, sometimes there's people playing music and here you can see a fountain made by Gaudí

I mention this check-in because it is a really cool park to lay down in the grass and relax, maybe read a book. Culturally, its a cool park to go to because of the sculptures that are housed here.
Apartment BarcelonaMay 31, 2013
Head to the park this Sunday 2 June, where La Tamborinada festival is coming where you can enjoy a circus, catch a parade and take part in some treasure hunts! One not to miss!
Xavier Garcia BarberSeptember 21, 2015
Historic Park in Barcelona. Everybody must visit it. Next is the zoo, and the catalan Parliament, more or les the same...
Charlee BangsSeptember 13, 2016
It doesn’t get more relaxing than the boat rental here. 30 minutes rowing at Ciutadella Park costs €6 for two people, €9 for three people, and €10 for four or five.

Located in the heart of Barcelona .. One of the most beautiful parks in the city !!
Andrew WillisSeptember 29, 2015
Beware pickpockets in crowds, apart from that there's a lot to see make sure you go around the back of the fountain!
Luciana VicenteApril 18, 2018
Go with time to walk around, stop to lay down on the grass and drink a bottle of wine...
Yasmin VJuly 23, 2016
Beautiful park. Don't miss out on the fountain in the center!
SteveMarch 1, 2019
Was a great alternative to using the roads in our walk to a great restaurant in Barcelona. It was really well lit and felt very safe....
Vova NovaqueDecember 6, 2016
A nice place to relax. Fountain, fresh air, zoo. Good for running
Oh-Barcelona.comOctober 22, 2010
This chilled out park provides some welcome respite from the bustling city centre. The fountains are impressive, and it's worth renting one of the rowing boats to enjoy a relaxed afternoon. Read more
