theme park considered one of Europe's best – Walt Disney tried to buy it

‘Weird and wonderful’

High on the hills overlooking Barcelona is Europe's third oldest theme park - and one of its best.

The Tibidabo Amusement Park doesn't have the fastest or the most thrilling attractions.

But its collection of rides has been labelled as "weird and wonderful" while its views over Barcelona are stunning.

In 1957 Walt Disney offered to buy its collection from the Automata Museum, for any price. But he was turned down.

Tibidabo Amusement Park has thousands of five star reviews on TripAdvisor, with plenty of people amazed by the park on the top of the hill.

Classic fairground staples like a carousel, bumper cars and a haunted house can be found, while the red rollercoaster Muntaya is another family favourite.

Entrance to the park, including unlimited rides and bus or funicular shuttle rides costs £30 per person over 120cm in height.
