Guidebook for Barcelona
Panoramic views
On the roof terrace at the hotel Barceló Raval, you can enjoy a unique city experience: a marvelous 360° terrace with panoramic views of Barcelona. I will recommend you to visit at sunset or by night. But if you want to avoid the busy hours, then is better you will go from 12:00 to 17:00. You don’t need to eat or drink if you don’t want.

The bus is the best way to access the bunkers of Carmel. There are two lines that leave you very close to it:
Line V17 get off at Gran Vista - Turó de la Rovira
Line 24 get off at Doctor Bové - Gran Vista
Line 119 get off at Gran Vista - Pl de la Mitja Lluna
Metro station - Alfonso X (L4). the Bunkers are still 1.1km away. It is a 20-30 minute walk uphill.
Taxi, f you don’t feel like walking and you’re not on a budget, the most comfortable way to get to the bunkers is by taxi. It will cost you around 10-12€ from the city centre.
