Montjuïc Cable Car Ticket: Views of Barcelona & Sea

Ride up to the castle and watch the city shrink below you

The Montjuïc cable car is a round-trip ticket that carries you from the base up to Montjuïc Castle, where you stand 170 metres above the port with views across Barcelona and out to sea. The cabins are new and hold up to eight people, so you can ride as a group. All areas are wheelchair accessible, and children from age 4 are welcome when accompanied by an adult.

• Enjoy panoramic city and sea views
• Explore Montjuïc castle and learn history

The experience

The cable car climbs from the lower station straight up the slope of Montjuïc, and the city opens out below as you rise. From the castle at the top, you see across Barcelona's roofline to the Mediterranean, and the port spreads out below. The same view the Iberians had from this spot centuries ago. The fort itself stands more than 170 metres above sea level, built into the hillside that Barcelona calls its green lung.

The cabins are built to hold up to eight people, which means families and small groups ride together instead of splitting across separate cars. Infants can stay in a pram or stroller for the journey, and children must be with an adult. The cable car runs throughout the day, and public transport stops are nearby if you're coming from elsewhere in the city. Every surface and area is accessible for wheelchairs, and the cabins themselves are designed so you can board and ride without barriers.
