The Parc de la Ciutadella is a park in Ciutat Vella, Barcelona. After its establishment during the mid-19 century, it was for decades the only green area in the city, and hitherto one of the most popular.

It is a very busy place, crowded with tourists, and locals, who are usually going for a walk or taking their children to the special section for kids found near the upper margin of the park.

This park is optimal for sports, like for example boating in the lake, cycling (both boats and bicycles can be hired), or jogging.
