Why is Montjuic famous? Barcelona hosted the 1929 World's Fair and the 1992 Summer Olympics here. The most pleasant place for walks, excursions, views of the city and other tourist pleasures!

How to get there? Metro line L2, purple line towards Paral•lel to Paral•lel station. Follow the signs for Funicular de Montju? c. The funicular leaves every 10 minutes. Works on weekdays from 7-30 to 22-00; on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 to 22:00. The tickets, fares and conditions are the same as the subway, so you can use the subway tickets for funicular rides. Then there is the opportunity to use the Teleferico de Montjuic cable car or climb the mountain on foot.

By the way, in addition to other recommended sightseeing sites, you can visit the Montjuic cemetery (Cementerio de Montjuic). It occupies the entire southern slope of the mountain, extends over an area of ​ ​.56 hectares and contains more than a million graves.
In the old part, you can see monuments, crypts and sculptures in the classical, gothic and art nouveau styles. Currently, the dead are buried in special stone cells. Such buildings are somewhat similar to houses from a distance.
