About Montjuïc Cable Car Ticket

Recently refurbished and operating with modern eight-seat gondola cabins, the cable car runs a 750-metre route from the Parc de Montjuïc base station — located directly beside the Montjuïc Funicular upper stop — to the summit station near the historic Montjuïc Castle, with an intermediate stop at the Miramar viewpoint.
On your ride above the city, you'll catch stunning views of Montjuïc Castle while experiencing a whole new perspective on the cityscape below. From the Miramar intermediate station, the views across Barcelona's rooftops, the entire port district, and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea are among the finest available from any publicly accessible viewpoint in the city.

Insiders' Tips
The best time to visit the Montjuïc Cable Car is during the spring, when the Parc de Montjuïc is in bloom, and summer's overtourism hasn't quite kicked off. Aim for a morning visit on a clear day for the best Mediterranean visibility — the panoramic views from the Miramar station in particular are at their most dramatic before midday haze builds. Hop off at Miramar on the ascent and spend 15 to 20 minutes at the viewpoint before reboarding for the final climb to the castle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Montjuïc Cable Car in Barcelona?
The Montjuïc Cable Car is a safe, efficient, and comfortable service that gives you the opportunity to fly up to Montjuïc Castle while enjoying an unparalleled panoramic view of Barcelona — the fastest and most spectacular way to reach the heart of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. The recently refurbished cable car runs a 750-metre route with three stations and eight-seat wheelchair-accessible gondola cabins.
What are the three stations on the Montjuïc Cable Car?
The three stations are Parc de Montjuïc — at the base near the funicular — Miramar, an intermediate station offering panoramic views, and Castell de Montjuïc at the summit near the historic Montjuïc Castle. The round-trip ticket allows you to hop on and off freely at all three stations throughout your visit.
What can I see from the Montjuïc Cable Car?
The cable car affords views of the whole region, from the Serra de Collserola to the Mediterranean Sea, with a bird's-eye view of iconic landmarks like the imposing Sagrada Família. The Miramar intermediate station provides some of the most spectacular views of the port, the city rooftops, and the coast available from any public viewpoint in Barcelona.
What is the difference between the Montjuïc Cable Car and the Port Cable Car in Barcelona?
The Port Cable Car travels across Port Vell connecting Barceloneta Beach to Montjuïc Hill — a longer ride offering expansive views of the harbour and city skyline, but not wheelchair accessible. The Montjuïc Cable Car operates from the base of Montjuïc Hill to the summit near Montjuïc Castle in modern, wheelchair-accessible cabins, ideal for visitors aiming to explore the hill's attractions.
How long does the Montjuïc Cable Car ride take?
The cable car journey from Parc de Montjuïc to Castell de Montjuïc takes approximately 8 to 10 minutes each way — covering the 750-metre run with a stop at the Miramar intermediate station. Allowing 30 to 45 minutes for the full round-trip experience including time at the Miramar viewpoint is recommended.
Is the Montjuïc Castle entry included with the cable car ticket?
No — the Montjuïc Cable Car ticket covers the ride only. Entry to Montjuïc Castle requires a separate admission ticket purchased at the castle entrance at the summit. The Joan Miró Foundation, MNAC, and Poble Espanyol nearby also require separate admission.
What can I do at the top of the Montjuïc Cable Car?
From the Montjuïc cable car facilities you can visit the Joan Miró Foundation, the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya and the Poble Espanyol, and head to the Olympic Stadium for a taste of the 1992 Olympic Games. Montjuïc Castle and the spectacular Montjuïc viewpoint terrace are also directly accessible from the Castell de Montjuïc upper station.
Is the Montjuïc Cable Car wheelchair accessible?
Cable car cabins are fully adapted for passengers with reduced mobility, with barrier-free boarding at all three stations. Strollers and buggies are permitted, though it is recommended they be folded to ensure space and comfort for all passengers.
When is the best time to visit the Montjuïc Cable Car?
The best time to visit the Montjuïc Cable Car is during spring, when the Parc de Montjuïc is in bloom and summer's overtourism hasn't quite kicked off. Morning visits on clear days offer the best Mediterranean Sea visibility and the least crowded gondola experience before the midday tourist rush builds on the hill.
Do I need to book Montjuïc Cable Car tickets in advance?
Advance booking is strongly recommended during the busy summer season from June to September and on public holidays when queues at the base station can be significant. Booking through Thrillark saves up to 15% on the standard rate with instant confirmation and your preferred visit date secured. One-way tickets are only available for purchase at the ticket office on the day — the round-trip advance booking through Thrillark is the better-value and more convenient option.
