El Tramvia Blau - blue tram Barcelona

Address
Avinguda de Tibidabo, 1, Barcelona, Spain, 08022
El Tramvia Blau - blue tram Barcelona
The Tramvia Blau, the blue tram Barcelona. The blue tram was part of the original Barcelona tram system and celebrated 100 years of operation in 2011. The old Barcelona tram lines were closed in 1971, but the Tramvia Blau route was kept open as a tourist attraction to show how transport was in the early twentieth century in Barcelona and because it is a nice way to get to the Tibidabo amusement Park and Tibidabo hill. The Tramvia Blau tram line takes you from Plaça de John F. Kennedy up the Avinguda de Tibidabo, which is a beautiful street with wonderful old houses and it ends at Plaça del Doctor Andreu, (also called Pl. Funicular) where it connects with the Tibidabo funicular railway. Click on the links below to see the Blue Tram route and start/end stations. Although the name of the service is blue tram, you can sometimes also see a red tram on the route, which is tram number 129.
Tibidabo funground opens on 3rd March in 2012. At the Barcelona Tourist office you can buy a Tibidabo Classic ticket which includes the transport to Tibidabo on the Blue Tram and the Tibidabo mountain funicular train and admission to Tibidabo and some top rides The combined ticket cannot be bought on the blue train itself.

Ticket price (2012)

Blue Tram route. We used your directions and had a wonderful trip to Tibidabo today without any problems. The tram ride up the Avenue of Tibidado is really lovely and the views at the top are just super. Jeff
