This seaside hill is home to a wonderful treasure trove of attractions, including Poble Espanyol, the MNAC museum, the Magic Fountain, the Olympic Stadium, the Botanical Gardens, and Montjuic Castle on one side of the hill. The Montjuic cable car is unquestionably the most enjoyable way to arrive if you intend to travel all the way to the castle at the top of the hill because you can take in breathtaking city views as you ascend.
