Earth: Discover the city step by step
Start your day by walking through the city and immersing yourself in the rhythm of its neighborhoods. We recommend beginning your route at Plaça d’Espanya, one of Barcelona’s main hubs. From there, you can visit:
- Poble Espanyol, a one-of-a-kind space that recreates the architecture of different regions of Spain and offers a combination of craftsmanship, culture, and gastronomy.
- Stroll along Avinguda Maria Cristina and enjoy the views of the fountains and the Palau Nacional, home to the National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC).
It’s the perfect way to connect with the city’s history, culture, and art before heading up to the sky.
Sky: Rise above with the Montjuïc Cable Car
From the base of Montjuïc, you can take the Montjuïc Cable Car, a charming mode of transport that takes you to the top of the hill while offering some of the most stunning views of the city. Along the ride:
- Watch the city unfold beneath your feet, with the sea in the background and the Sagrada Família on the horizon.
- Once at the top, take time to visit the Montjuïc Castle, walk through the gardens and enjoy Barcelona from a new vantage point.
The cable car is more than just transportation—it’s an experience that connects you to the landscape and offers an unforgettable panoramic view. Buy your tickets now at the Hola Barcelona online shop and enjoy a 10% discount!
Sea: Relax and have fun by the Barcelona coast
After your visit to Montjuïc, descend via the cable car or the Montjuïc Funicular, and take the Metro (L3) to Drassanes. From there, a short walk will take you to Port Vell and Barcelona’s seafront.
Here are a few options to end your day by the water:
- Coastal cruise: Hop on a ride with the Golondrinas or a sightseeing boat and take in the views of the city from the sea.
- Beachside stroll: Walk along the Barceloneta Promenade, stop for an ice cream or relax on a terrace with Mediterranean views.
