[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Montjuic is Barcelona’s beautiful forested coastal mountain and home to many of the city’s best treasures, such as the castle, the Olympic Stadium, botanical gardens, the Joan Miro Foundation and many more.The Montjuic Cable Car is a modern teleferic that takes you up the final ascent of the hill in a comfortable 8-seater cabin towards Barcelona’s castle.Quick Menu: Route | Getting There | Buy Tickets | Timetable | FAQsIn total the journey takes you on a 270 feet (84.5 meters) climb along a 2,460-foot (750-meter) cable route, during which you’ll enjoy sensational panoramic views over Barcelona, and appreciate the beauty of its coastal location, wedged between the shimmering Mediterranean sea and the verdant Collserola mountain range.It’s definitely the best way to arrive at the castle, and beats a steep sweaty walk any day.Don’t however get the Montjuic Cable Car confused with the Port Cable Car (aka Teleferico del Puerto or Aeri del Port) which is an aerial tram found in Barcelona’s old port. Nor confuse it with the Montjuic Funicular, which we will talk about a bit as well on this page, as it links the metro system with the cable car and is probably the easiest way to arrive here.Montjuic Cable Car RouteThe cable car has three stops. The lowest stop is called the Parc Montjuic Stop and where you want to get on (check the map on this page for directions).From there you ascend above the trees to the Castell Stop, where you get off to check out Barcelona’s Castle. This hilltop fortress has a fascinating – and rather dark history (plus more great views!).On the way back you can stop off at the Mirador Stop, for even more views, or continue all the way back down to the Parc Montjuic Stop, from where you are well poised to explore the rest of Montjuic’s great attractions, starting with Joan Miro’s arresting museum.You can find a PDF of the route here.Getting There via Montjuic FunicularThe Montjuic Funicular will help you ascend the first part of the mountain and get you to the Parc Montjuic Stop, where you can board the cable car all the way up to the castle.This small funicular is essentially an extension of Barcelona’s excellent metro system, and you get it by alighting at Parallel metro station (on both the green and purple line) and then following the signs.The train shuttles up and down the lower part of the hillside (in a tunnel, so no views unfortunately) and drops you off in just the right place to get on board the cable car.More info here.Getting There via The Tourist BusIf you’ve bought tickets for the tourist bus, you can ride the bus’ red route to the Parc Montjuic Stop (the cable car’s starting point).In fact the tourist bus is a pretty good option in general for exploring Montjuic as its a pretty big hill, with a fair distance between some of the attractions, and the tourist bus can ferry between them. You can buy hop on / hop off tickets here. You will still need tickets for the cable car, as the bus doesn’t go all the way to the top of the hill.Buying TicketsYou can reserve your Montjuic Cable Car tickets online via trusted travel site Get Your Guide.Select the day you want, and you can board any time on the day. Just turn up to the office at the Parc Montjuic Stop (Av. Miramar 30) with the ticket voucher, which you can either print or bring on your phone.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1676591435928{margin-top: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 5px !important;}"][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]TimetableThe cable car’s operational hours change depending on the season.January to February: from 10am to 6pmMarch to May: from 10am to 7pmJune to September: from 10am to 9pmOctober: from 10am to 7pmNovember to December: from 10am to 6pm[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Frequently Asked QuestionsHow long does the cable car take?The ride itself takes about 5 minutes to reach the top, with carriages calling by the stops every few minutes.

The Montjuic Cable Car is more modern and offers better views, with shorter times between cars, and also has better reviews on platforms such as Tripadvisor and Google. The Port Cable Car however does last longer (around 7 minutes) and has a certain nostalgic charm (it opened in 1931).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
