    All the way to the Castle
    Taking the Funicular to the cable car station, it was an exciting trip, both ascending and later the reverse. A lovely clear day added to the experience. On a continuous loop, it was grand to arrive at the first level where the car turns right and then continues to close to the Castle entrance. Fine vistas are to be had on both legs of the excursion.

    Fun!
    This was a fun activity that provided great views and a way up to Castell de Montjuic. The ticket sales start at 10:00. When we arrived about 10:30, the line was short and manageable. When we came back down a couple hours later, the line was very long. We were also able to have the cable cars to ourselves on the way up and back, but I'm sure that's not allowed once the crowds arrive.

    Best Views of Barcelona
    What an amazing way to see Barcelona from the air. The pods are constantly moving so it's a step on/step off system but whether they would stop it for people who are unsteady on their feet - I would hope so. It was reasonably quiet when we went with just a 5 minute queue for tickets so they weren't too bothered about letting couples have a pod to themselves but that may change at the height of the season. The trip goes all the way to the Castell de Montjuic at the top of the mountain - again fabulous views over the sea. On the way back down the pods allow you to exit at Mirador, a peaceful garden with views, or continue back down to the main terminus. Really worth taking time to do.

    Nice view but the ride is short...
    It's a good thing to do if you're in the area but there are other places to get a great view. The queue/wait was reasonable (not sure how it would be in the height of tourist season) but the price was a bit steep for the short ride. For the price, you can go to Hotel La Florida and get some tapas and drinks and get an even better view--and you can stay a bit. Montjuic itself is worth a visit, but you don't necessarily have to ride the teleferic.

    Accessibility at Telefèric de Montjuïc, Barcelona
    Montjuïc cable cars are entirely wheelchair accessible. These cable cars which are on a continuous loop can be paused, providing extra time for those with reduced mobility to board safely. The current folding seats allow additional space for wheelchair users and mobility scooters. Although Montjuïc Castle is quite difficult to wheel around due to large cobblestones, it’s overall an enjoyable experience taking in panoramic views of Barcelona and surrounding areas.

    Definitely worth it
    A must-do experience in Barcelona. There was a short queue when we visited on a Wednesday midafternoon. We bought a one way ticket to the top so we were able to walk down the hill which was a good decision in my opinion as it was lovely to walk through the park.

    Good views of city
    Short queue which would probably go faster if there was someone manning the cars as most going half empty. We had a whole car to ourselves on way up but on way down gets busy and those who have walked half way down May struggle to find space. Paid €18 for 2 persons for round trip. Not much to see at castle which is a separate entry price but nice views. Maybe more to see if you walk down

    Must do attraction in Barcelona!
    A fairly large queue to get onto the cable cars. Took about 10 minutes to get to the desk to pay. Didn’t matter if you’d brought a ticket already, everyone went through the same entrance. Paid €20 for 2 x one way tickets to the top (there are 3 different stops in total). The views are amazing and there is no way most could walk at the way up the hill. No one is manning people getting onto the cable car so we were lucky to be with just another family of 3. It is fairly high for those who don’t like heights. Definitely a must!

    No clear views at the top
    I was only in Barcelona for a day and a half and did a bus tour. One of the stops was Montjuïc and the view that I saw for a few seconds was amazing and I had to go back to see it properly. I saw the Montjuïc Cable Car and thought it was a no brainer so bought a ticket online and got on the L3 Metro, got off at Paral-El and took the funicular to the Cable car station. There was a queue at 5:30pm and buying a ticket online before didn’t allow me to queue jump, although it was cheaper. As an amateur photographer, I was really excited for this and the views on the cable car itself were amazing, I was looking forward to having some views at the top to stare at, take photos and simply enjoy. When we got to the top, the views were blocked by trees; ok I thought, there must be a better view point somewhere. I walked around the Castle and got a great view of the port, not very exciting. I then walked down the path, along a bit, down a bit but there was no view point. There were just a few gaps in trees. I considered going into the castle but it was further expense and I got the cable car back down disappointed. If you like castles, ports and the excitement of cable cars, feel free to do this. If you want the view, take the bus tour and get off at the Montjuïc stop, you won’t regret it.

    Wonderful view of the city - it’s a must!!
    The cable car costs 15 euros roundtrip. The route offers an amazing view of Barcelona and the ocean. When you get to the top you can visit the castle and walk around the grounds. Since it’s on a hill the view is spectacular. You can visit the museum inside the castle for free after 15.00 (3 pm).

The cable cars provide an amazing view of Barcelona and there are several stop off points for you to get out and explore the park. This is good value for money compared to many of the tourist attractions in Barcelona. If you buy one of the travel cards for the metro this will allow you access to the line which takes you right to Parc de Montjuic. If you try and walk from Paral-let it’s a very hilly walk with loads of steps so beware!!

Absolutely loved this cable car journey. The views are out of this world.
€16 adult ticket to go up to the castle and back down.
Had a walk around the top and then travelled back down.
Only wish, is that there could be a cafe up at the top. Or at least benches/seating.
Would be wonderful to sit with a coffee and enjoy the views and the weather.

Pretty telefrique with two stops. The castle stop was breath taking with amazing views. It is not stroller friendly due to the stones at the top which makes the ride tough. Also could’ve been more convenient if there was a cafe near the castle.

A picture with the flag of Catalonia was the highlight.

The views from the cable car are very pretty, and it's a very convenient way to get up to Montjuic. From the bottom station we walked down to the city center

The cable car is a must if you wish to see Barcelona from above. When you get off the cable car there is a cafe/restaurant called Salts. Their terrace provides amazing views over the city and is a great place to take photos. It also over looks the olympic swimming & diving pools. You can grab a beer and food. The castle at the top is impressive and if you walk behind the castle there are steps down to the main road where you can walk to the harbour and beach.

Short but sweet - this ride up the mountain was reached after quite a long wait in the queue - I decided to gop up on the cablecar then walk down which was very much the best thing to do - the downward paths are easy to follow and give more time to enjoy the excellent views over the city. from the top it can be appreciated how much Sagrada Familia is developing and - when the final central tower is completed in a few years - it will be awasome.

Great experience and superb way to see Barcelona laid out in front of you!
The castle at the top is great but didn’t visit. Great views over the bay, port and airport.
Super easy and well organised.

Go early to miss the queues

We hiked up and all around the fortress at the top. Good views from the trail at the base of the fortress. Nice picnic area among shady pines nearby. We wished we had saved our money and walked back down. The walk is neither long nor difficult for able-bodied people and next time I would save my money.
