BarcelonaMontjuic Cable Car

Montjuïc Cable Car | Where breathtaking views await

The Montjuïc Cable Car is your ticket to panoramic views of Barcelona, blending cityscapes, mountains, and the Mediterranean Sea. This modern cable car takes you up Montjuïc Hill, a historic site known for an array of cultural attractions and lush green natural beauty. Whether you're an adventurer seeking stunning landscapes, a history buff eager to explore, or a family on a fun day out, this Barcelona cable car ride is an experience you can’t miss!

Why should you take the Montjuïc Cable Car ride?

  • Unmatched views: Soar above Barcelona and soak in 360° vistas of the city’s skyline. Spot the Gothic Quarter's spires, Sagrada Familia's towers, Port Vell's yacht-filled harbor, and the Mediterranean Sea stretching to the horizon, all in one single frame.
  • Gateway to history: Your ride culminates at the Montjuïc Castle, a 17th-century fortress cum prison that defended Catalonia against various invasions, including the War of Spanish Succession.
  • Convenient stops: The cable car whisks you straight up to Montjuïc Castle without any stops, then on your way down, you can choose to take own your sweet time, hopping off at Mirador de l'Alcalde stop to soak in the views and maybe grab a coffee at Mirador's terrace before making your way down to Monthuic Park.
  • Best way to climb Montjuïc Hill: Unlike driving, which involves navigating narrow, winding roads and limited parking on Montjuïc, the cable car provides a stress-free transfer in less than 10 minutes!
  • Easy access to Montjuïc attractions: Each cable car stop is strategically positioned so you can easily hit multiple attractions without breaking a sweat. Joan Miró Foundation is only 5 minutes walk away, and Poble Espanyol's charming Spanish village is right around the corner.

Things to know before booking your ride

  • Children under 14 years old must be accompanied by an adult. Ensure you have enough supervision for younger travelers.
  • Your round-trip cable car ticket gets you amazing views, but keep in mind it's just for the ride. You'll need separate tickets for the castle, funicular, and other attractions up there - best to sort those out ahead of time.
  • Summer months (June-September) are super popular, and tickets can vanish fast. Do yourself a favor and book online before your trip. Nothing feels worse than showing up to find it's sold out!
  • The cable car runs all day, but here's a pro tip: early birds and late afternoon riders get the sweetest deal - shorter lines and clearer views. Plus, catching a sunset ride is pure magic - watching Barcelona light up beneath you is something else.
  • Make it a family day out by combining your cable car adventure with the Barcelona Aquarium. The little ones will love going from sky-high views to underwater wonders.
  • Turn your fun cable car trip into a cultural journey by adding tickets to the Joan Miró Foundation or Poble Espanyol. These spots are very close to the cable car stops and offer deep dives into Barcelona's art and heritage.
  • Looking to save some euros? Skip the cable car and grab the Hola Barcelona Pass instead. It covers the funicular ride up Montjuïc plus all your public transport across the city. Sure, you'll trade aerial views for ground transport, but your budget will have room for extra tapas.
  • The Go City Barcelona Explorer Pass is your ticket to the ultimate Montjuïc experience - glide on the cable car, wander through Poble Espanyol's historic streets, and take a guided walk through garden-lined paths. But that’s not all! You can still visit four more attractions of your own choice.

On special holidays like December 25, January 1, and 6, the Monyjuic Cable Car operates between 10am to 2:30pm.

The Montjuïc Cable Car starts from the base of the hill at Montjuïc Park, conveniently located near various transport options.

By Metro + Funicular: To reach Montjuïc Park, take the L2 or L3 metro line and get off at Paral·lel station. From there, you can take the funicular up to Montjuïc Park.

By Bus: Bus routes 55 and 150 stop at Av. Miramar - Funicular Station, a short walk away from Montjuïc Park.

By Hop-on Hop-off: If you want to explore more of Barcelona, consider the Hop-on Hop-off Barcelona bus. The Red Route covers the Gothic Quarter and Montjuïc, the Blue Route focuses on Gaudí, and the Green Route takes you to the beach and Port Olímpic. Get off at the appropriate stop for Montjuïc.

  • The cable car operates depending on the weather. On days with strong winds or bad weather, services might be suspended. Check the forecast before your visit.
  • For a more pleasant experience, consider visiting early in the morning or late in the afternoon. These times typically have smaller crowds and offer beautiful lighting for photos.
  • Smoking, drinking, pets, or bicycles are prohibited inside cable cars. Ensure you comply with these rules to avoid any issues during your ride.
  • Expect limited cell network coverage at the top of Montjuïc Hill. Download any necessary maps or audio guides before your visit to enhance your experience.
  • With stations at Parc de Montjuïc, Miramar, and Castell de Montjuïc, the cable car offers plenty to see. On your way back, hop off at Miramar station to admire the stunning vistas from the viewpoint or wander through the lush botanical gardens.
  • Due to the altitude, the cable car ride can get chilly, so dress in layers or bring a light jacket, even in summer.
  • Wheelchair accessibility: The cable car facilities are equipped with ramps and adjusted steps, as well as suitable platform-to-cabin spacing for wheelchair access.
  • Signage for the visually impaired: The facility caters to visually impaired individuals through the use of enlarged signage and clear routing.
  • Tactile navigators: Tactile navigators are provided on ticket vending machines to assist blind or visually impaired individuals.
  • Written information: Comprehensive written information is available throughout the facility to assist deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals.
  • Trained staff: The staff at the Montjuïc Cable Car facilities are well-trained to understand and cater to the specific needs of individuals with various disabilities.
  • El Xalet de Montjuïc: Hidden among gardens, this modernist villa-turned-restaurant pairs gourmet cuisine with dreamy views, and an extensive wine list. Try their Monkfish and shrimp cannelloni.
  • Miramar Restaurant: Located in the Miramar Gardens, this restaurant serves flavorful Mediterranean dishes with panoramic views of Barcelona. The menu features rice dishes, spicy potatoes, and croquettes.
  • Fundació Miró Restaurant: Take a break from Miró's masterpieces to feast on Catalan classics in this hidden gem. The terrace offers beautiful views of the sculptural gardens with Barcelona as your backdrop.
  • Òleum Restaurant: Dine like royalty in what was once the throne room of the MNAC palace. Its Mediterranean menu matches the grandeur of the setting—think high-end local ingredients served with a side of city views through dramatic arched windows. 
  • La Caseta del Migdia: Tucked near the castle, it's where locals come for lazy afternoons of cold drinks, grilled salmon, and live tunes. Catch stunning sunsets over the Mediterranean with a sangria in hand.
  • Martinez: A cliffside classic that's been serving the city's best seafood paella since 1940. The outdoor terrace gives you front-row seats to port life below, and the freshest catches from it. It's like having dinner on Barcelona's balcony.
