emblematic sights, as well as those that sparkle below the surface.
FROM A GREAT HEIGHT
You can literally see it all in a couple of days with this jaunt that takes you from the summit
of a mountain to the top of the city's culinary scene.
Transbordador Aeri
Take an exhilarating ride high above the harbour on a cable car line
connecting the beachside neighbourhood of Barceloneta to the Jardins de Miramar vantage
point on Montjuïc (173m).
Tibidabo
The journey up to the mountain-top amusement park is part of the fun, but the
grand prize is the panorama of city, sea and sky that greets you at the 550m peak's summit.
Mirablau
A bar and restaurant where you can enjoy tapas and cocktails as night-time Bar-
celona glitters and glints in the background.
Arenas de Barcelona
The rooftop terrace atop this bullfighting ring-turned-shopping centre
affords grand views of Plaça d'Espanya and the domed Palau Nacional.
Parc Güell
It's hard to say which is prettier: architect Antoni Gaudí's extraordinary urban
park or the spectacular city vistas you'll see from its famed terrace.
Dinner at Dos Cielos
The Torres brothers take fine dining to new heights at this sleek,
Michelin-starred restaurant on the 24th floor of the
Meliá Barcelona Sky
hotel.
OFFBEAT BARCELONA
If you need a break from art museums and churches, try this one-day circuit of some of Bar-
celona's quirkier attractions.
El Gato del Raval
After roaming Barcelona for more than fifteen years, artist Fernando
Botero's giant bronze feline finally found a home on Rambla del Raval, where it has been
vacantly staring down shoppers and tourists ever since.
