I know a place for readers and writers, to take the kids to play football and run around, for families to have a picnic, a place for the elderly, for lovers and friends. La Ciutadella Park is where everything is possible if the weather’s on your side and this is easy to find in Barcelona where almost never rains.
La Ciutadella Park is one of the most beautiful parks in Barcelona and it has plenty of cosy corners to talk and spend the time lying down on the grass, sit at some bank or walk around through sculptures, statues and trees.
You will find the Museum of Modern Art, The Geology Museum, the Zoo, a greenhouse and a castle called “Three Dragons Castle” where’s also placed the Zoology Museum. This park is a gorgeous open space behind El Borne; it’s close to the France Train Station, the Olympic Village, La Barceloneta, the peer and the beach. If you use this park as a shortcut to anywhere you’re going, I’m sure you will feel invited to stay. There’s a place for you too. I know.

El Parc de la Ciutadella is one of the favourite spots of many people in Barcelona. That’s why if you go on sunday, it’s full of locals jogging, having a walk, reading the newspaper or playing with their children.
In january we etered the park, and that’s the result in video!

My favorite spot at Parc de la Ciutadella is the mammoth. What a strange appearance!
IMHO the zoo is not worth the entry but look for the Capoeira guys and enjoy their performance!
This park breathes life into the city of Barcelona. There are many paths that lead you all around and it is the perfect place for an afternoon picnic. I found a great article on the site and with alittle bit of history of the Park here: http://www.bornliving.com/out-and-about/history/parc-ciutadella/
