This place houses Barcelona's Peace Museum. Great views of the sunset in the city. Specially nice is to access by Telefèric: a cable car from the seaport that offers astonishing views of the seaside.

We came here after walking to do the lifts and couldn't pass it up. It boasts some of the most amazing panoramic views of Barcelona. $6 to get in and a cable car ride down isn't too shabby (extra $)

Get the metro from Paral-lel, takes you to the cable cars. 11 Euros return and 5 Euros to get into Castell. Great views and there's a kiosk for snacks.

The cable car ride to the castle in totally worth the journey. The castle has loads of machine cannons, huge one's. The view from the terrace of this castle is unbeatable

Nice place to visit in Barcelona, but not in my 'Must see' list. Nice view of the city, but nothing more to see if you take the Port-Montjuic Cable Car. Beautiful gardens around the castle.

Great views, cheap to get in so worth it. I would walk up as the gondolas are overpriced. Always nice to sit with a drink in the castle ‘square’ on a nice day.

This castle shouldn't be on the top of list of the places one must visit in Barcelona. It was built in only 30 days, so its architecture is not amazing. But the view of the city from its roof is nice.

Great scenery. 5€ entrance fee (3€ for under 29) but dont expect a museum-like visit. Accessible by bus and telpher. Telpher fee is 8€ and is not included in tourist travel cards.

Lift works until 19.00 so make your plans for earlier. Or you can take the bus. Amazing view of the city. Castle is a great historical place, must be seen.

Take the funicular from Metro Paral-lel station - it's inside the station, don't exit the gates or you'll have to pay again. Then walk up or take the cable car. Spectacular views...

Interesting history... Worths to see. Made up of several gardens. At the peak is the castle. Take the cable car climbing up (one way), easy to walk down on the way back. Nice view. Sould be seen.

This old military fortress on top of a beautiful hill will give you a breathtaking view of the city, especially during sunset. Great view of mountains and the ocean as well. Free admission.

This is a tourist trap that is worth it! Take the funicular round trip(6.70€ with barcelona card). And you get a great cable ride and a chance to walk around the castle and park.

Deserving views to all Barcelona. Free entrance. Closes up regularly at 6pm. Reachable by bus, aerial tram (expensive but nice, at least try one way) or by foot...long way up!
