Useful tips

Once you have reached the last stop on the cable car, in other words, the Montjuïc Castle, don't just stop to admire the panoramic views of the city but also make sure that you head towards the bottom right hand side and the historic cannon and make sure you see the stunning views of the port as well. As you rise above the city, you will have the chance to admire many of the city's iconic landmarks such as the Sagrada Familia and the Torre Agbar among others.
