Barcelona is spread over a wide area from the port to the old Cathedral and pedestrianised Las Ramblas.

The best bird's eye views of the city can be enjoyed from the cable cars which run up Montjuic and Tibidabo Hill.

Many people walk past the Christopher Columbus statue at the end of Las Ramblas and have no idea that for a couple of Euro you can climb up inside the statue to the top of the pillar. There are great views of this wonderful city from this viewpoint.
