imgl-parc-laberint-barcelona-02.jpgBarcelona is a big city and a target for a lot of visitors. Therefore, there is a lot of action, vividness and tourists. Those who have arranged an accommodation in Barcelona, booked a hotel in Barcelona for example, and want to escape from the big city life for a few hours should make their way to the Parc del Laberint. It is the oldest parc in the city of Barcelona.

The parc is divided into a classic part and a Romanic garden. The whole parc is characterized by Romanic and Greec sculptures, small creeks and huge terraces. The labyrinth consists of 750m long cypress hedge. Right along a small creek, you will find the Romanic garden. It is the obverse of the playful rest of the 9.1 ha gig parc.

You can reach the parc using line 3 (green) until "Mundat" station. Walk 500m uphill and pass the Olympic bike stadium until you reach the Parc del Laberint.
