Parc de la Ciutadella

This park is a beautiful park in the center of the city that is completely free. It has a garden and a greenhouse and lots of areas to get lost and explore. I actually had a photoshoot here and got some awesome shots. They have a zoo in the park that is not free but if you walk to the top of the steps you can see some of the animals.

On Sundays you will see people salsa dancing in the park which is fun.

Walk run ride nap. Cute parc near city center and beach.

Sports? Yes.
History. And more.

A leisure walk through the parc. A nice lunch break.
Scenic parc in the Ciutadella. Several awesome buildings. Lots of walking area.

A few too many people.

Next to the zoo and city center and beach. This is my park and I love it. Great feel to it as you walk around and enjoy the buildings.

Arc de triomph is right up the street and the beach is close.

Lots of people to watch.

Incredibly breathtaking park!! Lots of cool areas all around. The architecture is just stunning!! So much greenery, trees, plants, and outdoor features. Many benches to sit in with shaded areas as well. Multiple ponds; saw someone riding a little kayak in one next to a ton of ducks! You can climb up to the top of thr main statue, and the view from the top is beautiful

This park is open to the public, and you can find many nice people around. And dogs too!!

I went for a run in and around this park during my stay in Barcelona. We weren't the only ones with that idea, it was filled with runners on a Saturday morning! Really cute park with nice vegetation.

This park was connected to the Barcelona zoo and a quick walk from the Gothic Quarter. The park was very well maintained and beautiful. They have many sculptures all along their paths with an absolutely gorgeous fountain (my favorite part). The fountain is extremely intricate, bold, and beautiful. The park itself is rather small, so it would be a quick trip maybe 20-30 minutes to get through the entire thing while enjoying the sites if you don't linger too long. I highly suggest checking it out if you have a break in between your other tourist attractions since it is quick, free, and beautiful.

El Parc de la Ciutadella, en el encantador Barrio Gótico de Barcelona, es un remanso de paz con vegetación exuberante y variadas atracciones. Ideal para paseos tranquilos, descansos en bancos y paseos en bote por el pintoresco lago.

El parque alberga joyas culturales como el Parlamento de Cataluña y los museos de arte y geología, enriqueciendo la experiencia. Esculturas y obras de arte adornan el parque, un festín visual para los amantes del arte.

Su rica historia, desde una antigua ciudadela hasta prisión para disidentes políticos, se refleja en la estatua del General Prim en el Passeig de Pujades.

La cascada diseñada por Josep Fontsère y Antoni Gaudí es una maravilla armoniosa de piedra y metal. Los dragones alados que la rodean llevan la creatividad única de Gaudí. La Cascada se convirtió en mi rincón preferido.

Aunque no pude explorar el Castillo de los Tres Dragones ni el encantador Umbracle, la esencia del parque permanece innegable: un refugio sereno en el corazón de Barcelona, donde naturaleza, historia y arte convergen en un encanto urbano inigualable.

Absolutely stunning! Barcelona has so many beautiful parks, and La Ciutadella is definitely one of them. This was personally my favorite smaller park to visit. And by "smaller" I don't mean small. This park is actually pretty dang huge, but there are so many grand parks by comparison.

Parc de la Ciutadella is an excellent park to explore during your time in Barcelona. The park features Cascada Monumental (a beautiful cascade fountain), a large pond fountain, walking trails, a small lake, gardens, and several sculptures. The park also shares a space with the Barcelona City Zoo.

When you enter the park, you'll be enamored by how lush and green it is. This was one of Barcelona's first ever green spaces and I can totally understand why. The gardens are absolutely stunning and the park holds some of the city's most old trees and foliage. Cascada Monumental and the pond fountain are both gorgeous. This fountain was actually one of Gaudí's earliest works and not many people are aware of this.

The Roman Gazebo is super charming. You can walk up the steps, stand underneath it, and simply admire its' beauty. You can also look down at the pond fountain and the rest of the park from it as well. The views are amazing from inside the gazebo! There are several walking paths that are used by walkers, runners, and bikers alike. Many people like to enjoy the paths to take a leisurely stroll as they admire the park.

There are so many neat sculptures too! I feel like this park could be considered an outdoor museum as there's lots to see from an art perspective. There's also a lake where I saw a few people on row boats. Lots of green space for picnicking, relaxing, and to let the kids and dogs roam freely. The picture taking opportunities seem to be endless. It's truly and striking park from all angles. Definitely make some time to check out Parc de la Ciutadella when in Barcelona.

The park is pretty big. Free admission. There were a lot of homeless there which is why a star was removed. Maybe there can be a local shelter the homeless can go, so that it won't dampen the peaceful image of the architecture and the waterfalls. Other than that, I think it's a must see for any tourist. You can come and eat and enjoy the scenery.

I visited this park with a large group of students of our school a few weeks ago in mid March. It was a beautiful day for a picnic, sunny and 60°. Like most people said, it's a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Definitely recommend stopping by the Santa Catarina market to get some delicious food for the picnic. Don't forget to bring a blanket to sit on as there are many grassy, areas and trees, but lots of dirt pads, and a few benches here and there. there are people selling blankets, snacks, samosas, an Indian chai, but we had so much food need to buy anything.

There's a place to rent boats for 30 minutes, which could be a great activity for older kids or adults. We did have a minor incident with a local teen, but we were able to sort it out with his teacher.

I'd definitely return if I were back in Barcelona and I would joy beautiful green space.

A beautiful and spacious park to lay out and relax after a long afternoon of shopping and eating tapas in the Gothic Quarter! Perfect spot to bring a blanket, have a picnic, read a good book, or just hang out.
