Sant Gervasi Attractions – Hidden Gems & Parks in Barcelona

Description of Sant Gervasi Area

This page features attractions in Sant Gervasi, one of Barcelona’s most elegant and lesser-known districts. It also includes nearby neighbourhoods such as Sarrià, Tres Torres, and Bonanova — all of which were once independent villages before being absorbed into the city during its early 20th-century expansion.

These areas are known for their posh residential character, quiet streets, and hidden cultural gems. Though not typically on the tourist trail, they offer a rich blend of modernist architecture, historic landmarks, and romantic gardens.

The most captivating spots lie in Bonanova and Sant Gervasi, home to Gaudí’s Torre Bellesguard and the award-winning CosmoCaixa Science Museum. A scenic walk through this area also passes the Sant Gervasi church, Avenida Tibidabo, and the Tamarita Gardens — a tranquil, romantic park ideal for couples and quiet reflection.

This district borders the Collserola Natural Park and serves as a gateway to Tibidabo mountain. From Avenida Tibidabo, visitors can take the TC2 shuttle bus to the Cuca de Llum Funicular, or follow the forest trail via Fabra Observatory for a scenic hike to the summit.

For more details on how to reach Tibidabo and explore its attractions, visit the Tibidabo page.
