Parks & gardens
Parc del Laberint d'Horta
Parc del Laberint d'Horta
Located at the foot of the Collserola hills, this is the oldest garden in Barcelona. It was originally an aristocratic estate and is divided into two distinct sections: an 18th-century neoclassical garden and a 19th-century romantic garden. Visitors go here to walk through the cypress hedge maze and view the period landscaping.
Getting There
The park is located away from the city center. You can reach it using the city's bus network or by taking the metro to the nearest station and walking. Depending on your starting point in the center, the journey typically takes between 30 and 50 minutes.
Duration of Visit
Allow approximately 1.5 to 2 hours to walk through both the neoclassical and romantic sections and navigate the maze.
When to Visit
The gardens are best visited during the spring and autumn when temperatures are mild. Early morning is recommended to avoid larger crowds. Because the park has a limited capacity for visitors, it can feel crowded during peak tourist seasons or weekends.
Nearby Attractions
The park is situated near several sites in the hills. You can combine your visit with the following:
- Gaudi House Museum (2.9km)
- Tibidabo (3km)
- National Expiatory Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (3km)
- Fabra Observatory (3km)
