One of Barcelona's best hidden gems. Shade from the direct sunlight of the summer afternoon and best of all it's free. Containing plants which usually grow in tropical and subtropical forests and built over 120 years ago. Everytime I have been here, we have had the place to ourselves. So, take a picnic, sit on one of the cast-iron benches and escape the madness of Barcelona!

Very beautiful! It's a large space, near the Zoo and The Arc de Triumph. Lots of people are in there, having all kind of activities. You can easily spend an hour or two just walking all over..

If you are walking in the parc, don't forget to visit the greenhouse. Nice tropical plants in a cool atmosphere. A little bit hidden but once you are here, you want to look out for more. Watch out: it is not open very often, so check the opening hours before to go.

The other day I went to the Umbracle, a different and untypical garden of the Ciutadella Park. I think it is a very relaxing place where you can breathe well and there are many types of plants that I liked a lot. There are also several benches where you can sit and contemplate the different types of plants. And there are also some holes in the ceiling, which is for when it rains, because in this way you can use the rain water to water the plants. This building is really different from the other ones in the Park. Its esthetics is nice. I recommend going there because it is a very nice place where you can relax a lot.

Nice place if you are already in the park

Just love this parc... but I also wish that conservatories would be open!

Incredible tropical greenhouse made of wooden slats that hosts shade-loving plants. Take a seat on one of the iron benches and enjoy the singular mood of this centenary building. We visited during a cacti contest which was fun to see.

Sign says it closes at 2:30pm, not 3:00pm

I like this place

It actually closes at 14h.

Nice

Because of the building and dark green plants inside you can feel like in old money movie. Underrated but good for you- not many tourists there

If you visiting the park, definitively visit! Great spot to relax and ensure great plants!

Cute little greenhouse inside the larger park.
