From both Montjuic and Tibidabo hills you can see lovely panoramic city views.

It's quite a long way to the summits of Montjuic or Tibidabo, but you can get to both of them cheaply and easily by public transport or on the hop-on-hop-off tourist buses in Barcelona.

Views from hotels
Visit tall hotels in Barcelona to take photos of Barcelona's views. The Hotel Arts and Hotel W are the tallest hotels in the city by the coast, but they do not have public viewing platforms so you will need to book a room.

The hotel Gran Hotel La Florida on Tibidabo hill has a lovely restaurant with outdoor terrace with spectacular Barcelona city views. And good food.
