One of the most beautiful parks I've ever been to. Has a very classical feel to it. There is a maze and a ton of fountains. Also mosquitos are here. They got me. Still, we'll worth the visit. read more

Quite a ways out of the city center. I found it on a list of places in Barcelona to see when you've seen all the standards. https://bnc.lt/gtCg/Y7AS0m8x11 Not an especially scenic walk, past many hospitals, clinics and apartment complexes. There's a big highway along much of the route. Below ground level, but not covered as in town. You're heading towards the end of the L3 line. The park is worth the trip. Fabulous gardens, the maze, and 200+ year old buildings. Some statuary shows its age, but that adds to the charm. If you're over 65, admission is free. read more

This is an 18 century park in the outskirts of Barcelona with nice gardens, some beautiful pavilions, lots of walking, and a maze that is fun to explore and complete. It was probably fantastic when first built but the buildings are crumbling a bit, gardens are still beautiful and there are Koi and turtles in the ponds. Locals take their kids here to play. read more

Our friend who is a local recommended this park to us over Parc Guell. We did both parks in the same day and while Parc Guell is definitely worth seeing, this Parc is special and definitely worth the ride. To get here we took a taxi from Parc Guell and our driver remarked that he'd been driving a cab for years and had never heard of this park! But this place is so beautiful and so worthwhile. It's absolutely gorgeous, lots of roman inspired gardens and architecture. We loved it! Plus the nature features, there are streams and waterfalls. WE SAW A WILD BOAR. I went into the Pyrenees and didn't even see a wild boar there! So neat. The real star of this park is the labyrinth and it's no joke! I walked in super arrogant, claiming I knew the secret to get out of any maze! Whining that it's barely a maze if you don't get to choose your own path. But 20 minutes later I was still in the maze and real cranky about it. Looking back, it was so fun! It is hard to get a taxi out of the park back to the city though, I'd recommend taking the metro. read more

I'm just gonna go ahead and forewarn you now; Jareth, the Goblin King does not live here, and it's not his Labyrinth you're getting lost in even if you do say 'the words'. I guess that's why I was getting such odd looks from the locals.... Well, despite all that, this was indisputably the most beautiful place we visited during our stay in Barcelona. We took the Metro to get there, and then it was bit of hike to get to the top of the actual entrance of the Labyrinth. We walked by a school where some young elementary school children were playing outside. Their laughter, and energetic spirit as they waved at us really added a positive note to our journey, and listening to their perfect Spanish at such a young age made me blush because as an adult brought up in a Spanish speaking household; I'm still trying to figure out the language. We paid 2,32 Euro per person to get inside. Words cannot describe how beautifully kept the Labyrinth and the surrounding gardens are. (see the pics I uploaded, you'll understand what I mean) I know it's going to sound tacky, but during my visit to the Laberint d' Horta, everything was good in the world. I felt really relaxed, and at ease, especially with all the surrounding flowers, plants, statues, and waterfalls. Everything was so lush, green, and vibrant; I really just wanted to absorb everything in as much as possible. Yes, I got lost while walking the Labyrinth, but it's definitely part of the fun, and you'll hear when other people get lost too as the nearby chuckles, and giggles can be an indication of what path you should probably avoid. At the end though you are rewarded with a stunning view of..... but I guess you'll have to go and find out :) read more

One of the most beautiful parks in Barcelona. My friend and I came here after Park Guëll and it was a very peaceful place to get away from the touristy craziness. The park is extremely expansive with many gardens ands buildings located within to explore and photograph. This park is located off the L3 which can take you back to tourism land (Las Ramblas) where you can grab tapas and shop after you've had your fill of nature. Highly recommend! P.s. No admission fee on the Sunday I visted read more

A great little park which is close to the metro. If you're staying in the Gothic Quarter or central area, I highly suggest taking the metro train. The walk which we chose to do after we had lunch , was supposed to take about an hour as per GPS and ended up being more like 2 and we had some pretty crazy streets to climb. The park once we got to it was very nice. Quiet and away from all the rush of the city. It was nice to take the stroll and decompress from all the hustle. The labyrinth gave us something fun to do and otherwise there are some picturesque areas to enjoy birds and aging architecture. It's free to enjoy Wednesday and Sunday which is also nice. read more

I think Parc del Laberint d'Horta is Barcelona's best kept secret. We came across Parc del Laberint d'Horta while researching parks in Barcelona on Yelp, and I am so glad we did! This is an 18th century park and is Barcelona's oldest garden. It was a great place to unwind from a few busy days sightseeing and shopping in Barcelona. Parc del Laberint d'Horta is about an hour bus ride out of Barcelona, so I recommend taking a picnic (see note below) and spending the afternoon here. It will also give you enough time to explore the beautiful manicured gardens, bush, hidden walkways, watch the cute turtles in the ponds, admire the waterfall and of course, complete the maze! It reminded me so much of film The Secret Garden. And the best part was that there were very few people there on the day we visited. It truly is Barcelona's best kept secret, in my opinion! Note: You can only picnic outside the gardens, but there are a few picnic benches. There is also a small entrance fee of under 3 euros to get into the park. read more

Located just a few miles outside Barcelona the Parque del Laberinto de Horta should figure into the schedule of any visitor looking to spend a few days outdoors, a mere 2.23Euro admission fee giving guests full access to the grounds containing many sculptures, a moat and tons of foliage including a fairly complex hedge maze that will see persons of all ages reach mostly dead ends before finally getting to the finish. read more

If you want a nice relaxing place to stroll and take pictures, this is the place to go. The name of this park speaks a lot for itself. The Labyrinth maze is fun but surprisingly frustrating when you hit a dead end. Definitely recommend going with a friends so they can take pictures of you trying to find your way out of the maze. There's a nice stream to watch ducks, koi fish, and turtles swim around. I'm not sure how it usually is, but the park was not crowded at all when I went. So you won't be bumping into crowds of people and worrying about pickpockets. Note: There is an entrance fee of 2.23 euros. read more

Quirky off-the-beaten-path option if you want to get away from the crowds for an hour or two. The park is quite charming with a bunch of old buildings, ponds and lots of shady pathways. The maze is fun and offered our kids 20-30 minutes of running around. Might be more/longer fun for younger kids. Could also be a nice picnic option, though we didn't do this. Downside is that it's pretty far from town and not a place I would imagine staying very long... so just know what you are getting into. read more

This park is not only beautiful and off the beaten path from the regular tourist stops, it also features a labyrinth. If you've never experienced being lost amongst a maze of bushes, you must check it out. To me, this park felt like *real* Barcelona. Lots of families having picnics and birthday parties, tons of kids running through and getting lost in the labyrinth, young couples on a romantic stroll through the grounds. We spent a few hours roaming around the park, got terribly lost in the labyrinth and took in the beauty that this park has to offer. If you're a tourist, a visit to this park will require a scooter or rental car. It's well worth the trip. read more

Parc del Laberint d'Horta - Got terribly lost, but boy it was fun. - Parks Near Me - Barcelona, B

This should not be included in your 1-3 day itinerary in Barcelona, but if you are here for an extended period of time, you should stop by for a unique experience. The gardens and labyrinth provide a nice escape from the hustle and bustle and tourist side of Barcelona. Con: A bit of a subway ride to reach Tip: Exit subway and walk down to street. Take a left and walk a few blocks. It will be on your left hand side up the hill a bit. There are no clear signs! read more

K. So I'm 40 now. And while I still love a good party and can give any 20 year old a run for her money, I seek quiet and solitude from time to time. Barcelona is a city abuzz and there are many areas that are very crowded and busy. Parc del Laberint d'Horta is a welcome oasis from all of the business on La Rambla, Barri Gottic, and Barceloneta. I swear there couldn't have been 20 other people in the park, which itself is tranquil and intensely beautiful with waterfalls, still pools, incredibly manicured gardens and of course-- The Labyrinth. To be honest, I hated the labyrinth, but that's due to my fear of enclosed spaces. That doesn't mean that you should feel the same way. It's really quite neat for those who don't panic when they hit a dead end. The only negative is that you can't picnic inside the park. I love me a picnic and we searched for a place to buy provisions for quite some time only to be told that we had to eat in the designated area which, at that time happened to be populated with many children. Ew. Anyway, this place is prettier than many of the other tourist parks in Barcelona. Entrance is under 3 Euro each. read more

We took Metro L3 from Las Ramblas and got off at Mundet Station. From there it was a 5 min walk to the bottom of a hill that leads to the parc. We passed by a cute little park that had writing symbols in concrete and headed to top of the hill. If you want to get a good cardio go to the top of the park. The labyrinth was absolutely a unique experience for me, I had never seen a park like that before. I could see the city is investing in the park and some constructions were going on. The Labyrinth itself is not open to the public. On our way back we took a pick in the manicured garden of Placa de Lleons which was absolutely stunning! read more

Wonderful park for all intents and purposes. First of all, this is a really relaxing place where you never have to worry about their being too many tourists, always nice. It is really cheap, the tickets cost less than 10 euros if I remember well. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. The labyrinth is really fun, and the view from above the labyrinth is really nice. There are all sorts of little paths to take off in different directions where you'll find turtle ponds, and fountains, and just nice walks. Also can be a really intimate place, since it has a really romantic (not in a romance way) vibe. In terms of how to get here, it's not the simplest thing in the world but it's not hard. There's a metro stop nearby. Totally worth 5 stars! Great place! read more

Great place! Not too crowded and cool, but it is a little fat away from the center of Bcn.

It was fun going there and figuring out the maze! Very close to the metro stop. Too bad it started thundering and raining out of nowhere. I really liked it though. read more

Amazing park, majestic and whimsical. It wasn't really crowded when we went, a Friday afternoon. A little run down but charming and fun to explore. read more

Didn't get to explore all of the Parque because of the time and weather, but what we saw was great. The park was very clean and scenic. The maze was challenging but fun. I would definitely come back to explore the rest of the Parque. I'm not sure if there's and admission fee? We just walked into the park. =P read more

After four days of battling the tourist crowds of Barcelona, I was in desperate need of some peace and quiet so I took the metro up to the gardens. This picturesque, formal garden has many wonderful paths and nooks to explore. Formal gardens, grottos, bridges, gazebos, mythological statues, waterfalls and winding paths reward the traveler who is willing to explore further afield. The labyrinth at the center is gorgeous and well maintained. This place is perfect for a picnic lunch away from the crowds. Lovely. read more

Absolutely beautiful. It has a variety of themed gardens, as well as a surprisingly challenging maze. Great to go at any time. Easily accessible via a short walk from the subway station. Well worth the ~2 eur entrance fee. read more
