A candy-coloured dreamscape with all of Barcelona at your feet — if you can land the photo between two tour groups and the timed-entry scrum.

What people say

At the heart of the park there's a huge square, surrounded by a sinuous bench decorated with colourful mosaics in the trencadís technique.

While the square is the park's central gathering point, the dragon sculpture on the main staircase has become its most recognisable symbol.
