[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Montjuic is Barcelona’s beautiful forested coastal mountain and home to many of the city’s best treasures, such as the castle, the Olympic Stadium, botanical gardens, the Joan Miro Foundation and many more.
The Montjuic Cable Car is a modern teleferic that takes you up the final ascent of the hill in a comfortable 8-seater cabin towards Barcelona’s castle.
Quick Menu: Route | Getting There | Buy Tickets | Timetable | FAQsIn total the journey takes you on a 270 feet (84.5 meters) climb along a 2,460-foot (750-meter) cable route, during which you’ll enjoy sensational panoramic views over Barcelona, and appreciate the beauty of its coastal location, wedged between the shimmering Mediterranean sea and the verdant Collserola mountain range.
It’s definitely the best way to arrive at the castle, and beats a steep sweaty walk any day.
Don’t however get the Montjuic Cable Car confused with the Port Cable Car (aka Teleferico del Puerto or Aeri del Port) which is an aerial tram found in Barcelona’s old port. Nor confuse it with the Montjuic Funicular,



which we will talk about a bit as well on this page, as it links the metro system with the cable car and is probably the easiest way to arrive here.
Montjuic Cable Car RouteThe cable car has three stops. The lowest stop is called the Parc Montjuic Stop and where you want to get on (check the map on this page for directions).
From there you ascend above the trees to the Castell Stop, where you get off to check out Barcelona’s Castle. This hilltop fortress has a fascinating – and rather dark history (plus more great views).
On the way back you can stop off at the Mirador Stop, for even more views, or continue all the way back down to the Parc Montjuic Stop, from where you are well poised to explore the rest of Montjuic’s great attractions, starting with Joan Miro’s arresting museum.
