Important viewpoint on Barcelona

The emblematic viewpoint of Barcelona

The Barcelona audio-guided tour brings you to the most famous viewpoint of Park Güell, before the postcard image of the city. The undulating, colourful bench in the foreground, the city stretching out below and the Mediterranean on the horizon make up one of the most striking views of Barcelona.

Gaudi's dreamed view

Designed as a panoramic terrace at the top of the garden city, this belvedere offers an overall view of Barcelona, from the Eixample district to the Sagrada Familia, all the way to the sea. The undulating bench that lines it, covered in trencadis mosaics, follows the curves of the landscape and invites contemplation. It is here that the most famous photographs of the city are taken.

What there is to see

Beyond the panorama, the place invites you to grasp the legacy of Gaudi, who inspired many architects and artists around the world and remains a model of creativity. Le Corbusier saw in him a great artist capable of touching the heart. The bench, one of the longest in the world, and the view over the city and the sea make this belvedere a highlight of the park visit.
