It takes around 5-minutes to travel up/down the 750-metre track and the cabins offer a smooth ride as they glide you up and down the hillside, making the journey just as memorable as the destination!

Reaching the top is just the beginning. The castle area offers some of the most spectacular panoramic views in Barcelona. From here, you can look out across the city skyline and try to spot landmarks like the Sagrada Família and Torre Glòries.

• ‍Fun fact: Its said that Antoni Gaudí, the famous architect that designed the Sagrada Família designed it to reach a maximum height of 170 meters, which is just one metre shorter than Montjuïc Hill and this was intentional because he believed human creations should not surpass the work of nature!
