Tibidabo Amusement Park sits on the summit of Tibidabo, the highest point of the Collserola ridge above Barcelona; its funicular opened in 1901 and the first rides followed in 1905.

The Magic Fountain of Montjuïc is an illuminated fountain designed by Carles Buïgas for the 1929 International Exposition, at the head of Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina below the Palau Nacional.
