• Ribes Espai Cultural in a historic railway shed stages theater, puppet shows and musicals, so check its program before you go

Parc Central covers the old railway land behind Estació del Nord, where the tracks now run underground. Landscape architect Kathryn Gustafson designed its water channels, lawns, flower beds and a garden inspired by the Valencian huerta. Kids head for the children's garden, with a climbing wall and water play. Restored railway sheds by Demetrio Ribes hold cultural spaces, including Ribes Espai Cultural, which stages theater and puppet shows.
