About Monte de San Pedro

A park above A Coruña’s Atlantic coast, with outdoor viewpoints and reminders of a former coastal battery. Distinguish the park visit from Cúpula Atlántica and the closed lift: their access conditions do not necessarily coincide.

Google Maps showed closing at 22:00 when checked on 2026-10-30. This is not a weekly schedule confirmed by the City and does not apply to the dome, lift or restaurants. Confirm park access before setting out.

Maps marked an accessible entrance on 2026-10-30. That is not a survey of every path, slope, toilet or temporary obstruction. With the lift closed, confirm an entrance suited to your needs.
