Val - France: "We loved our tram ride to the castle. Once there, we couldn’t resist paying the extra euros for castle access. It was so worth it. The views! And the significance of this landmark added further dimension to Barcelona/Spain history. A wonderful morning! - September 11, 2023"
Katie - Australia: "As we visited during the middle of summer, this was the best option for us as opposed to walking. It was rather expensive being $120AUD but as an Aussie, when our dollar is halved, most things are expensive! I would recommend to anyone who has health issues or anyone who enjoys an experience in traveling in a cable car. The castle was amazing and full of interesting information, architecture, and great views!! We were offered discounts as my husband is a teacher, great customer service from staff at Montjuïc. - August 25, 2023"
Andreas - Germany: "One of the most beautiful views over the city of Barcelona from the top and already on the ride to the top. Just beautiful! Make a 1.9 km footwalk around the castle. And a nice surprise: Just over the street is the Olympic High Divers Stadium from 1992 located. Some of you will remember: Fantastic pictures of the high divers with the city of Barcelona in the background. - August 19, 2023"
