Since its opening in the mid-19th century, Ciutadella Park has remained one of the most popular green areas in the city. The sprawling park covers 280,000 sq m (70 acres), with a manmade lake, a zoo, sporting areas, the Parliament of Catalonia building, museums, and Josep Fontserè's iconic fountain. Travel down the garden paths that ribbon through the foliage, or stay on the pathways where you'll see performers practicing on a tightrope, juggling, or playing music. Small signs at the base of the trees and plants label the park's different types of vegetation.

  • Worth a visit. The park is a lovely way to spend a couple of hours or to have a picnic. Lovely gardens, great for families and children.

  • A really nice park located centrally in Barcelona, with a boating pond, beautiful fountain, plenty of paths to stroll and benches to rest on. Can be quite crowded but is a gorgeous place to visit.

  • Wonderful park free of charge. Beautiful monuments and picturesque buildings. Worth coming here for a calm walk. Dogs are not allowed unfortunately. Also a good spot for making photos. Many locals spend time here as well. The park is surrounded by many cafes so you can easy after find a place to sit and have a small snack.
  • Such a pretty and relaxing park. The fountain is stunning. It's nice to take a little stroll through it and enjoy some quality time. In the morning or the evening it's perfect to workout here. You'll see a lot of people doing yoga, going running or just enjoying a picnic
  • Incredibly beautiful park with intricate sculptures, mammoths, a couple of decent-sized ponds with ducks and more. Plenty of space for you to walk through and witness the radiance of it all. Really augments the landscape of Barcelona as it’s in a busy area that has an arch. Loved walking through the Ciutadella Park and getting nice pictures of the interior. Highly recommend this attraction. The Barcelona Zoo is accessible through here.
  • This park is a great area to kill time, enjoy the urban nature, and even people watch. There are many ponds and fountains that are a much more welcomed sound than the sprawling city surrounding it. It's a perfect park for a walk, date, or picnic. You'll likely find people trying to sell blankets or other goods in the park which you can easily dodge.
  • Probably the best park I’ve been in a while. My visit was in Spring and everything was green and absolutely beautiful - I felt like I was in some kind of a tropical paradise. It does get crowded during the afternoon, but it adds to the charm of the park - you can’t fault people going there. I recommend going there around the “Golden Hour” as to make some stunning pictures :)
