Best views of Barcelona

1. Montjuic cable car

Much more than a means of transport to climb the highest of the Montjuic mountain. Walk through the sky of Barcelona with the best views of the city, with three stations where you can get off to enjoy different attractions in the mountains. The walk of about 20 minutes allows you to see the city at your feet and the maritime strip of the city. As a means of transport, it takes you from the middle of the mountain where you can easily get from the city of Barcelona with the Montjuic funicular, to the top of the Montjuic mountain where the Montjuic Castle is located.

The views from the viewpoint of the Castle of Montjuic allows you to see the city, the metropolitan area of Barcelona and the maritime area of Barcelona as it is a viewpoint that allows you to see in 360º everything that surrounds the Castle of Montjuïc that your visit already brings you a vision of the history of the city.

3. Viewpoint of the Cami Del Mar.

The viewpoint of the Cami Del Mar is a privileged place at the base of the Castle of Montjuïc where you can enjoy the sea views. You can see the contrast of the frantic pace of the cargo port and the relaxed life of the berthed cruisers. It is one of the best places where you can enjoy watching the sunrise of all Barcelona.

In the Miramar gardens is the port cable car station, at the top is a balcony with views of the city. From these gardens you can see the city with a very close perspective, as it is located in a low area of the mountain but high enough to see practically the entire city, especially the sea side.
