Parks in Montjuïc – Disorienting and Best Views

In the Montjuïc area, you will find different gardens that are close to each other. This is a wonderful place to discover those different kinds of vegetation, walking between each garden and enjoying the nature. As they are in the same area, you can visit all together.

Jardins de Joan Brossa

This garden is quite new as it has been inaugurated in 2003 and is a very pleasant place to spend a time when walking in the Montjuïc area. It used to be an amusement park. It’s a very familiar park as there is A SPECIAL AREA FOR CHILDREN where they can play. Parents can have a seat around it to have a look at their children and spend a nice moment.

The garden is also interesting from a cultural point of view thanks to its four sculptures that are spread all over the park. These sculptures are very interesting because they are original.
