The views from up top were great, and the gardens were lovely. But as others mentioned, the inside is barren and rather sad.Full review by heyheyheathery

Q:
Do you have to enter the castle for the views, or are the views okay outside the castle and photo op. Is it worth going inside the castle for pics
A:
You can see the views below the castle but the castle has the best views. There is also an interesting local history exhibition and a pleasant cafe. I thought it worth the money.

Hi get the funicular train from Paral-lel to Parc de Montjuic and then take the cable car to Castell de Montjuic. The castle is inexpensive to get into (3E) and has a nice cafe & brilliant panoramas. The funicular train is a train that is pulled up a steep hill by cables. Its all part of the Metro network. It only runs between Parc de Mont Juic and Paral-lel.

Hey Franc, to walk back its too far away. First of all, to go and leave from the castle there are two ways, either by bus nor with the teleferic. It depends on how much money you are willing to spend. The bus cost around €8-10 in total. In my opinion you should get the teleferic, two way, which is €13, you go to the castle, which has €5 entrance, and then take the teleferic to go back. At the end you take the bus, which is next to the teleferic station and go to the magic fountain. I hope that I helped you!!!

Q:
Hi, is there a place to leave your luggage or can you bring it with you?
A:
You do have to walk up a pretty good hill from the lift to the castle. Towing luggage might not be fun. Also, I don't think there would be any place to store luggage once you got there.
