Standing atop the bustling traffic at the southern end of La Rambla, Christopher Columbus keeps a watchful eye towards the Mediterranean from a Corinthian-style iron column built for the 1888 Barcelona Universal Exposition. Get a bird's-eye view of the city with a 60-meter lift ride to the top of the monument, accompanied by a stunning view of La Rambla and Barcelona's ports. After the ride, take to the cellar beneath the column for a wine tasting experience (€8 for lift and wine).
