- Duration
- 1 h 30
- Season
- All year; visitors 9:30 to 17:30; 7:00 to 9:30 and 18:00 to 22:00, locals and Passi Verd only

You walk up to the monumental zone, enter at your booked time and walk the dragon staircase, the hypostyle hall and the Nature Square, with its trencadís bench and the city below. Allow an unhurried hour and a half. Once you leave you cannot go back in, so take your photos inside before going. Outside the regulated zone is the woodland, with free access.
If you are a resident, go first thing
The park is open all year. Visitor tickets run from 9:30 to 17:30. From 7:00 to 9:30 and from 18:00 to 22:00 the monumental zone is for locals only and for anyone with the Passi Verd, the free reservation for residents of Barcelona. That pass is requested on the same day, checked with your ID against the residents' register and does not allow advance bookings. For a Saturday morning with the family it is the way to see it almost empty.
Tickets and access for a weekend
If you come from outside, buy on the official website: up to three months ahead, a maximum of seven tickets per purchase, named. You have 30 minutes' leeway on your time. Tickets cannot be cancelled, but you can change the date or time up to the day before if places are available. General admission costs €18; ages 7 to 12 and over-65s, €13.50; ages 0 to 6, free, although they need a ticket.
By metro, get off at Lesseps (L3) and walk about 20 minutes to the entrance on Avinguda del Santuari de Sant Josep de la Muntanya, with escalators. The park now advises against Vallcarca because the steps of the Baixada de la Glòria are out of service. Buses H6 and D40 drop you at Travessera de Dalt, ten minutes away.
Tips
- Dogs on a lead, and not everywhere In the regulated zone they must be on a lead and are not allowed in the square, the hypostyle hall or on the staircase.
- With a wheelchair, enter via the Carmel The park recommends entering by the Carretera del Carmel.
