Parc de Montjuïc (Montjuïc Park)

This park, which is located on the slopes of Montjuic, covers a large area in and surrounding Montjuic, south of the city center. The small mountain, topped by the 17th-century Castel de Montjuic, which currently houses a military museum and offers spectacular views of the city and the water, overlooks the main Mediterranean terminals.

The primary observation deck near the castle is the Mirador de Montjuic, but the Mirador d'Ocell de Mar and Mirador de Migdia offer equally breathtaking views. The Botanic Garden of Barcelona, located southwest of the castle, is one of the park's most beautiful gardens, replete with the Museum of the Botanic Institute of Barcelona, where visitors may learn about the garden's history. The Jardins de Joan Maragall and the Historic Botanic Garden, both towards the bottom of the slope, include beautiful plants, architecture, and decorative fountains.
