Description of Sant Gervasi Area
This page is about Attractions in the Sant Gervasi area of Barcelona and also includes the adjacent neighbourhoods of Sarria, Tres Torres and Bonanova.
These neighbourhoods were isolated villages to the north of Barcelona till the city expanded and absorbed them in the early 20th century. It is a posh residential area and non-touristy but has some interesting attractions.
The most interesting area is Bonanova and Sant Gervasi which has the Gaudí Torre Bellesguard house and the CosmoCaixa Science Museum. A walk round this part of town also passes via the Sant Gervasi church, Aveninda Tibidabo and Tamarita Gardens.
This area is also at the foothills of Collserola and is the starting point for the TC2 bus and Tibidabo Funicular (Cuca de Llum).
From Avenida Tibidabo it is also possible to walk up to Tibidabo via Fabra Observatory.
For more information and transport options for Tibidabo visit the Tibidabo page.
