Montjuic cable car

 

Enjoy the most breathtaking views of Barcelona from the comfort of the Montjuic cable car. This modern and secure service covers a 750-metre route with three stations: Montjuic Park, the famous Mirador de l’Alcalde lookout and Montjuic Castle. From the gondolas you can see sights such as the Plaça de Catalunya, Santa Eulalia Cathedral, the Sagrada Familia, the port, the Olympic Village, the Agbar Tower and the Forum.

Starting from Montjuic Park, climb to the castle at the summit of the mountain, which is perched 170 metres above city and harbour. The journey itself lasts about 10 minutes and there are services on average every 20 minutes. Each station is close to a number of major attractions, with the Mirò Foundation, National Palace, Poble Espanyol and Mies van der Rohe pavilion all near the Montjuic Park station. The Mirador station – which can be alighted at on downhill journeys only – offers easy access to the Mossèn Costa i Llobera Gardens, a paradise for cactus fans, and the Mirador de l’Alcalde itself, from where you can enjoy amazing views of the city and the Collserola Mountains. Admire Barcelona’s perfect grid shape and appreciate its true, vast scale. The station at the summit serves Montjuic Castle (admission not included).

The cable car was completely renovated a few years ago and state-of-the-art gondolas have been installed. All gondolas have been fully adapted for patrons with reduced mobility and baby buggies can be carried on board.
