She’s super old, has dramatic history and has all the views. She’s a melodrama. I’m kidding. She’s a castle. Originally built for war, now it’s just where people come to take selfies. Great place to feel powerful and irrelevant at the same time. Bonus: there’s a cannon you’re not allowed to climb on but will absolutely consider climbing on. The views are a must.

A must visit location if you are in Barcelona. You access the funicular to the ticket station from any metro and then take the cable car up the mountain to get best views of the city. The tickts to visit the castle was free. Wether and view from the castle terrace was amazing. There is a small food cart inside for a drinks and snacks

While the open spaces, walls, and viewpoints are beautiful, I felt it lacked historical exhibit...

We would’ve probably enjoyed it more and understood the history if we did the guided tour. From their site: Admi...

It’s an enjoyable experience with a lovely atmosphere. The view from the top is fantastic, and the photos you can take from the teleferic are amazing. To get there, take the metro from Catalunya to Paral•lel, then walk through the station until you reach Parc de Montjuïc using same metro ticket, where you can catch the teleferic. You'll need to buy tickets for the teleferic at the ticket office th...
