Thanks to the city’s excellent public transport, you can reach the Montjuïc Cable Car effortlessly.
Hop aboard and glide between three scenic stops:
Parc de Montjuïc Stop
Start your journey here and explore nearby cultural icons like the Fundació Miró, National Art Museum of Catalonia, Poble Espanyol and the Olympic Ring, home of the 1992 Games.
Mirador Stop
Stretch your legs at the Mirador de l’Alcalde and the lush Miramar and Costa i Llobera gardens, where you’ll find some of the best panoramic views over Barcelona.
Castell Stop
Skip the uphill walk and arrive directly at Montjuïc Castle. Wander its historic grounds, discover its exhibitions, or unwind in the nearby Botanical and Joan Brossa Gardens.
The Montjuïc Cable Car is fully accessible, designed so visitors with reduced mobility can explore independently. With ramps, smooth crossings and platform access perfect for wheelchairs, no part of the journey is off-limits.
Clear signage, tactile ticket machines and written information also make navigating easy for those with visual or hearing impairments. Plus, the staff are specially trained to offer assistance when needed.
What to See & Do
Here’s what you can explore at the top and along the cable car’s 750-meter route between Parc de Montjuïc (Montjuïc Park) and the Castle.
Montjuïc Castle
Perched 173 meters above sea level, Montjuïc Castle is your reward at the top. Walk through centuries of history as you explore its bastions, peaceful moat gardens, and lookout points. Once a fortress and later a prison, the castle offers 360-degree views of Barcelona’s skyline, the port, and the Mediterranean.
Tip: The parade ground and sea wall offer the best panoramic shots.
The Gardens of Montjuïc
Montjuïc is a green oasis with unique gardens, viewpoints, and sculptures.
Tip: Bring a picnic and take your time wandering, as each garden has a distinctive atmosphere and view.
Olympic Ring
A reminder of Barcelona’s 1992 Olympic glory, the Olympic Ring is home to some of the city’s most iconic modern architecture.
Art and Museums
Montjuïc is also a cultural hub, home to world-class museums.
Magic Fountain of Montjuïc
Make your way to the foot of the mountain at night for one of Barcelona’s most magical experiences. The Magic Fountain comes alive with 2,600 liters of water per second, dancing to music and color. Arrive early for a front-row spot, and stay till the end, when Freddie Mercury’s “Barcelona” fills the air in a powerful finale.
Fun fact: It was designed for the 1929 Universal Exposition and famously featured during the 1992 Olympics.
