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!
Montjuïc is a treasure trove of things to see and do, all wrapped up in one spectacular hill. Whether you’re a nature lover, history buff, art fanatic, or sports enthusiast, Montjuïc has something for everyone. Here’s your go-to guide to making the most of your visit.
The journey on the Montjuïc Cable Car covers approximately 750 meters and lasts about 5 minutes, offering sweeping views of Barcelona as you ascend or descend the hill.
If you prefer quieter moments with fewer crowds, the early morning right after opening can be a great time to go. The morning light also makes for some beautiful photos. An evening ride, particularly around sunset, can offer stunning views of the city as it transitions from day to night.
There are many things to see and do at the top of Montjuïc. You can visit the Montjuïc Castle, the Joan Miró Foundation, the Olympic Stadium, and the Botanical Garden. You can also enjoy the views of Barcelona from the top of the hill.
Barcelona features two distinct cable cars:
Port Cable Car (Transbordador Aeri del Port): This cable car travels across Port Vell, connecting Barceloneta Beach to Montjuïc Hill. It's a longer ride, offering expansive views of the harbor and city skyline. Note that it's not wheelchair accessible.
Montjuïc Cable Car (Telefèric de Montjuïc): Operating from the base of Montjuïc Hill to the summit near Montjuïc Castle, this cable car provides a shorter ride in modern, wheelchair-accessible cabins. It's ideal for visitors aiming to explore attractions atop the hill.
Strollers and buggies are permitted. However, it's recommended that they be folded to ensure space and comfort for all passengers.
The cable car has three stations:
Montjuïc Park: Near the upper station of the Montjuïc Funicular.
Mirador: An intermediate station offering panoramic views.
Montjuïc Castle: Adjacent to Montjuïc Castle.
You can hop on or off at any of these stations.
Parking options are limited near the cable car stations. It's advisable to use public transportation to reach the area.
Nope! The Telefèric de Montjuïc is the aerial cable car that glides over the hill, while the Montjuïc Funicular is a separate, underground train that climbs the hill through a tunnel. These are different rides offering different experiences.
Good eye! The Montjuïc cable car goes by a few names because it’s known officially as the Telefèric de Montjuïc, but people also call it the Montjuïc Cable Car or simply the Cable Car to Montjuïc Castle. Same ride, different names.
Price performance TOP ! This combination has given us a very nice sightseeing day 😊 definitely to recommend!
Was a lovely experiences. You could see the beautiful views of the city
The city views! The grand views of how large Barcelona is.
Easy and beautiful view of Barcelona
It's such an adventure! I highly recommend doing this!
Wow! That was amazing. The weather was incredible and the places exceptional! Love it! I will repeat this experience!!!
Everything was so easy from start to finish, the views and the whole experience was just amazing.
The cable car view was fabulous overlooking the entire BARCELONA Province, they should have an audio in cable car explaining the places around so that the tourist will know what they are actually viewing also the history of castle as a audio guide would be beneficial.
It was okay. Nothing special for the price you pay. The cable car ride is literally 5 mins total. And you need separate tickets to go to the castle on top. The views up there was nice however. Then the pueblo espanyol was alllll the way back down the mountain had to take a bus the walk was brutal. So yeah. Meh.
Great views of the city and definitely worth the trip! Tickets system easy, but only saves you buying time in the queue, doesn't give you the opportunity to skip the line.
Great service and amazing experience. You get to see Barcelona from up high and visit the castle if tou want to. Great value for money and a good idea for something different to do.
Buying advanced tickets meant we could skip the queue for the cable cars. Fantastic views over Barcelona, well worth it.
Great day had in Barcelona, the cable car trip was very good with the castle at the top to explore and the aquarium was ok, plenty to see.
In the aquarium the tickets were without queues, but not in the cable car, we thought it would be different, the experience was good in spite of everything.
Amazing views of city. Great historical site.
Good day trip, spectacular views from the top. Cable car to ourselves for our group of four without having to share.
Easy on and easy off access was great!
The trip went off without a hitch as announced
Not too crowded. Not too big. Friendly. Fabulous tennis
Ticketing with Headout was easy, fast and save time in queues. Was a great choice.
Very good, easy to find and worth the experience for the views
Beautiful views! We loved the ride up to the castle
Easy booking, helpful stuff at stations, wonderful views.
Simple, easy, digital, sustainable solution

We love the vibes of this museum...so amazing
It was easy for me to access and see the sights. The stuff was friendly.
Tickets at cheaper rate than at the entrance
I already wrote 2 emails, the answers were totally negative. I bought tickets for the teleférico Barcelona, I received for poble espanyol what I don't know anything about this attraction. I had to pay for the teleférico, now I'm asking for return my money.
An immersive open-air museum mimicking a timeless Spanish village, offering a cultural deep dive.

I was amazed by the different fish species and how organized the place was

Price payed was skip the queue. However we were not let skip the queue but had to wait and join a long queue. Apart from that it was a great experience.

The aquarium, an incredible place!!!! The wonderful tunnel, a very nice experience, as if you were immersed in the sea!!!
This experience is perfect for being able to keep my son entertained and I very much enjoyed it too. A great selection of sea life very well presented. Really loved the interaction of the fish feeding

Very good aquarium. One of the best we have been to. Decent price for an aquarium (they are never cheap). Reasonable cafe.
All is well, although for a 'moment I thought the tickets did not pass inspection,because only one out of three passed.
It was calming and fun, its nice seeing beatiful sea animals from time to time
Amazing views of city. Great historical site.
A nice experience . Verry atractive to kids
Eady entrance with ticket lovely clean aquariums very interactive
Easy on and easy off access was great!
This combo takes you from sea to sky—do it in one day or spread it out—your call.

It was so easy to get the tickets at the airport information desk. The lady we dealt with was so polite and professional. Picked up the tickets, headed to the Metro and off to the hotel. We used the Barcelona card to gain discounted access to some muesums, the cable car and the aquarium. The card is a must - the discounts may be small in some locations, but they do add up. Well worth it.
How easy it was to acquire the tickets and then to validate them.
Convenience and comfortable traffic.
It worked well in itself, but we were still unable to use certain buses. So it didn't deliver what it promised
The route network is very well signposted. If the subway has just left in front of you, the next one is just a few minutes away. The staff on site are attentive and helpful.
It's much more practical if the card is dematerialized, because you don't have to go to the tourist office and there's less paper. Otherwise, you can use it for any kind of transport.
Ticket collection at the tourism counter went badly. They don't know how to use the order barcode or the order number.
Where do we start? You get a barcode that you have to change to a physical ticket at an info point. Finding this is the next step. You could even redeem the tickets at ticket machines. But that only works with a number. Which is not passed on. If you're unlucky. So like us. You search half the Sagrada Familia for the information booth. What's more, you have to buy a ticket to get there. Or wherever you can exchange the tickets.
Hello everyone, there is talk of unlimited public transportation. But you can only get on red and white buses. The metro worked great, the Rondalies streetcar was unreliable 6 times out of 10, stops were skipped and there was no visual information, only announcements in Spanish.
Instructions for redeeming this ticket were not clear at all. Had a lot of trouble finding out how to exchange this voucher for the real pass. Need more specific address for the catalunya booth. Was given incorrect instructions from metro staff everywhere. This was advertised as refundable and cancellable, it was not.
The card worked after I received it. Unfortunately, I received it a whole day late and was told that I would not get anything back. As the electricity was out for a whole day in Spain, this was an unforeseen event. I realize this, but I would have liked a refund for one day
If you have a late flight, you cannot immediately use the ticket to travel from the airport to your downtown destination. Still had to buy another ticket for metro and could only use the 96h ticket the day after. Otherwise, we were satisfied with it.
It was a gamechanger. With one simple ticket you can travel as much as you like - by bus or by the metro. It really made a lot of things easier and the holdiday therefore more enjoyable.
Ideal for exploring the city, metro, train and bus get you everywhere quickly. Especially the metro is an easy way to get around quickly.
THE INFO RECEIVED WHEN BOOKING AND THE EASE OF CHANGING AND USING TICKETS, AS WELL AS THE SAVINGS IN PURCHASING A PACKAGE.
You can move around Barcelona very flexibly. The metro is also pleasant. The buses are already unpleasantly overcrowded. If you book in advance via Headout, you can only get tickets from certain information points. We therefore had to pay an additional 5 euros for the journey there. You could have bought the Hola Barcelona ticket from any ticket machine.
The perfect way to travel in Barcelona. Also recommended is to take the metro to or from the airport. Super experience, one of the deepest metro routes in Europe.
It was an easy purchase and easy to use. We mostly used it for metro rides as opposed to busses but I can't imagine the experience being too different. 10/10 would do again.
The people in Barcelona are very friendly and helpful. Very good transport connections. They take care of your safety.
We had booked the 4-day ticket and it was easy to redeem at the airport against our booking and we were able to use all means of transportation.
Super convenient and economical. From the time we arrived at the airport to the time we left again. This card is a must for visiting the city!
Great ticket and it worked great. Suggestions for improvement: You don't know exactly when the hours have expired, so you have to be very careful when using it for the first time. Card bends quickly. An app on your cell phone would be cool!
We got from one place to another very well. Unfortunately, it is not easy to see that the cable car Teleferic to Montjuïc is not included in the tickets. It costs about 17€ there and back.
I liked the fact that I could move around easily without thinking about tickets, but the fact that night buses are not included is a bit limiting--with that price you could get them to take Still, positive experience
Once you have found out where you can get the card (badly signposted at the airport, at the metro stations at the machine only after several attempts), then everything is easy. Good price-performance ratio for stays of several days
Zip around Barcelona on metros, buses, trams & trains as much as you want for 48-120 hours.
