Telefèric de Montjuïc

A scenic cable car ride above Barcelona

These gondolas, holding eight people each, dangle from a cable and sweep 84.5 metres (277 feet) up and along the Montjuïc hillside.

Offering stellar views over the terraced parks and noble buildings of Montjuïc, and heart of downtown Barcelona and its harbor below, in all this telefèric travels 750m (nearly half a mile) in about 10 minutes, starting at a station by the municipal pool, dangling over the Jardins de Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer up to a "Miramar" (viewpoint) at Plaça de la Sardana, where it hangs a sharp right turn to follow Ctra. de Montjuïc to Montjuïc Castle.

(Do not confuse this cable car with the other one in town, the Teleférico del Puerto/Aeri del Port, another fun ride-with-a-view over Barcelona's port.)
