Barcelona funiculars

This clever transport system was installed in Barcelona in order to take people to Montjuic and mount Tibidabo.

Montjuic funicular

It departs from Paral·lel metro station (lines 2 and 3). The ride lasts no more than two minutes and the final destination is Montjuic. It’s located at walking distance from the Olympic Park and the Joan Miró Fundation.

At the time of its opening in 1928, it was the fastest cable railway in the world. It could move around 6,000 people to Montjuic in just one hour.

There is no extra charge to use the Montjuic funicular. It works with the regular metro ticket and there’s no need to leave the station.

Tibidabo funicular

It departs from Doctor Andreu Square (at the end of Tibidabo Avenue). It takes you directly to the Tibidabo mountain. In there, feel free to visit Tibidabo Amusement Park (the only amusement park in Barcelona).

Finally, you can also visit the Collserola Communications Tower and the Expiatory Church of the Sacred Heart. Above all, don’t miss one of the best observation decks in Barcelona, offering one of the most impressive views of the city.
