When the tram is running, its famous blue vehicles can be taken from Plaça Kennedy to the Tibidabo funicular. It gives riders the experience of early 20th-century transport in Barcelona. Many Modernist and Noucentista buildings can be seen along the route. At the end of the route is the Tibidabo funicular, an area surrounded by restaurants overlooking the entire city.

When the tram is being serviced, you can walk the route or take a replacement bus to experience the route and see where the tracks run.

Know Before You Go

Tickets can be purchased on the tram. Get to Plaça Kennedy by taking the FGC Line 7 to Av. Tibidabo or the Metro Line 3 to Vallcarca.
