Had the time ticket and everything worked well, the only thing we didn't know is that the fountains and the carriage exhibition are only open on weekends, but the price is the same during the week. Don't find the gardens that impressive as they are just big and have very long paths.

lovely way to see the city of Barcelona, the views from the cable car are amazing, highly recommend. We took a taxi upto the cable car and walked back down, stopping for lunch at the cafe in the swimming pool opposite.

One of the best attractions in Barcelona for those who love the views. I recommend going in and be sure to walk around the castle at the top. Buy tickets and go inside the castle (beautiful view from above).

Worth it to purchase the ticket from get your guide. Amazing view of the city and we managed to visit the Montjuic Castle.

5 min 1 stop in the middle then it goes up to the castle for about another 2 minutes
