Description
The Park of the Labyrinth of Horta is a historical garden in the Horta-Guinardó district in Barcelona. It is located on the former estate of the Desvalls family who handed the park over to the municipality in 1967. There are 3 sections spanning 9ha: the hedge maze made up of 750m of trimmed cypress trees on the lower level, an 18th century neoclassical garden and a 19th century romantic garden. There are numerous sculptures, fountains, pools and springs.
Access & Transport
The Mundet (L3) metro station is nearby (200m) and there is a bus stop on Passeig de la Vall d'Hebron. By car, use the Ronda de Dalt and it is possible to find free parking in the area.
Instructions & Recommendations
If you feel like having a day out of the city, this activity can be combined with a hike in the Serra de Collserola Natural Park.
Environmental & Social
A very green activity and entrance is free for local residents (a positive in terms of community credentials).
Conclusion
The Labyrinth Park of Horta is a perfect under-the-radar option for visitors with more than 4 days in the city to take a break from the crowds and the city streets and buildings. It is fairly quick to get to by metro, cheap and very relaxing. Adults and kids alike can also have a little fun in the cypress maze.
