- Panoramic views of Barcelona from the Mirador de Colom:
- If you look north Barcelona: the Gothic Quarter and the city’s historic buildings; the bell towers of the Cathedral, Santa Maria del Mar and La Mercè, the bustling Rambla, which meanders up to the Plaça de Catalunya and marks the entrance to the Eixample district, where you’ll find the city’s main art-nouveau, or modernist, landmarks and the Sagrada Família church by Gaudí.
- If you look to the east Barcelona: following the coastline, you’ll be able to see the modern Forum district in the distance with its photovoltaic cell and tall buildings. Nearer to you, the twin towers flank the entrance to the Olympic Marina. The old harbour, or Port Vell, and the industrial port are below you at the foot of the monument.
- If you look to the south Barcelona: stands Montjuïc Hill, with its castle at the top. Montjuïc is also the site of museums, gardens, theatres and the Olympic Ring. The Royal Shipyards which house the Museu Marítim, are at the foot of the hill.
- If you look west Barcelona: the Collserola Natural Park, the vast green lung surrounding the city, with the Collserola Tower and the Tibidabo Amusement Park as its two stand-out attractions.
