After being underwhelmed by Parc Guell we wandered through the rest of Barcelona and thought we would check out Parc de la Ciutadella to see what it was like.

This park was on our way from our hotel to the city centre, we would stroll through here instead of walking along the street. It is a pleasant park to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with some nice features (monuments, water fountains), bring a picnic and relax. More

A beautiful place to go to relax and people watch! Easy to get to by bus or metro... bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the fountain or take a boat ride in the lake. There is also a zoo! More

We enjoyed our coffee in front of the fountain. The park is large enough so one can find a less crowded places for a rest. But be beware of thieves, one on bicycle tried to steal our camera. More

We loved this park - from the serious and dignified paved section at the Arc de Triomf where you can watch talented skateboarders to the larger green space with spectacular fountains and a small lake. While Barcelona is gorgeous and dotted with lots of public space in the forms of playgrounds, dog parks and sitting areas very little of this... More
