Beautiful park, with beautiful nature and very nice Gaudi objects to visit. Very worthwhile, golden tip ' start at the entrance at the very top of the park' then you can slowly descend to the main entrance to get out again. Otherwise quite a bit of climbing ...

Muy bueno el recorrido y el servicio prestado, con relación al Teleferico se produce una confesión porque hay dos telefericos, uno el que sube desde el puerto hasta monjuic y propiamente el de monjuic que esta en la montaña. El Acuario estuvo bien pero esperaba mas, con eventos con delfines o ballenas como en Miami

The place is outstanding, the online guide discreet, inside there is a lack of attractions that would enhance the place, for example the possibility of listening to musical pieces even a few minutes long or alternatively give audio guides inside which in addition to explanations there is also a musical experience to be had when sitting in the theater.

The structure of the stadium is sensational and all the flow for the visits are very fluid, it was quiet when I went, the only thing that was left to be desired was at the entrance to get the audioguide because they didn't instruct me properly.
