This is one of the hills on which the city is built. A steep climb rewards the sweaty traveller with some very memorable views of Barcelona. En route the art lover can stop and sample the Miro foundation, with its permanent collection and temporary exhibitions. Further uphill - the Montjuic Castle, surrounded by a majestic (drained) moat, and a few viewing areas (miradors) disappointingly providing detailed views of the industrial harbour below rather than of Barcelona itself (the view towards the city is restricted by trees). One can delight in a thorough study of shipping containers from above, a delight for the naval equivalent of train-spotters, I am sure. I am not rating it with 5 stars for two reasons: - The whole area is a bit derelict, with more litter and dishevelled spots than one would like to see (in fact, this is a feature of Barcelona itself, with a sense of urban decay settling in); -The poor sign-posting. A few well placed, clear maps with visible “you are here” spots would make all the difference. Google and Apple maps were useless on this occasion, because I wanted to see the trajectory of the cable cars (there are two on the Montjuic hill) so I could take the one going to the harbour, boarding at the upper station. (Entering “Montjuic cable car” or “Port cable car” invariably displayed the low stations, not those on the hill, and scrutinising the zoomed map wasn’t helpful either - hugely disappointing and intensely frustrating!) I was not able to locate it so in the end I took the other one back down to the city. But overall Montjuic is definitely worth a trip and I will remember it as an airy spot suffused with light and Mediterranean light-heartedness. I will visit again.

Well, the magic fountain show is here only. This hilltop neighborhood is on the site of an old Jewish cemetery, explaining its name, "Mont Juïc," which translates to "Mountain of the Jews." Standing 213 meters above the sea, the hillside is crowned by a fortress on its top and slopes steeply down to the Mediterranean. This scenic area of the city is known for its beautiful natural park with great views and superb museums. The National Art Museum of Catalonia is there having a collection of sculptures, paintings, drawings, engravings, and photography. View from the top is absolutely great. Panoramic views of both the city and the Mediterranean. I Was there at night so I did not get much chance to explore. I enjoyed the light show, strolled around a bit and called it a day. Note: if you have even the slightest interest in history, make sure to add Montjuic Castle to your Barcelona itinerary. Montjuic Castle at the hilltop ended up defending the city from many attacks in the past, including those carried out during the War of the Spanish Succession. It also served as a prison during the War of the Pyrenees and was occupied by Napoleon’s troops in the early 1800s.

From a different perspective. We got confused and got lost. We end up at the Montjuïc cable car, but walked from the harbor all the way up the mountain🤦‍♀️ Luckily we are fit and did not have a lot of luggage. Lots of stairs and definitely not for a person with walking disabilities or families with small kids or strollers. So: this is what we learned. From the harbor u can see 2 cable car lines, but it is two totally different cable cars. 1. The one goes from the harbour (you take a lift up the cable car pilar to reach the cable car) and once u are on the other side (mountain), you will be more and less half way up the mountain. A single trip is €11 per person. 2. Then you have to walk another 10 min to reach the real Montjuïc cable car that goes to the castle. There are plenty of busses and alternative ways to get to the Montjuïc cable car. Fact is, after the excercise we could enjoy very nice ice cream without feeling guilty 💃💃💃

I took the Bus Turistic at Barrio Gótico - for about 35min all the way up to get the cable car to go up to the Castle. 1 way ticket was 9eu the two way was 14eu. Honestly you can go down walking and take the time to stop and enjoy the views. The access to the castle opens at 10am and costs 5eu. I didn’t do it so can’t say much. The views in the cable car are beautiful! Then you can go down walking through the trails and through the fountains. Currently the night show of the fountains is suspended due to Covid. On your way going up to Montjuic this bus cover several nice spots such as : Palau Nacional, Poblé Español, MNAC (national museum of art of Catalunya - which currently has a Gaudí exhibition until March), fundación Miró and the Olympic Ring. I would say you can do Montjuic in half a day.
