And there are so many things to do and see in this area. These include the fountains, the castle, the Montjuïc cable car, and the museum, just to mention but a few.

The park is easily accessible by the use of means of public transport or even by walking. In the same case as the city of Madrid, Barcelona is a city that you can enjoy walking.

The escalators that are in this park, make it easier to access the Park Montjuïc. And last but not least, there is an amazing panoramic view of the city and the port once you get to the top of the hill.

I would highly recommend this park as the first area to explore on the first day of arrival in the capital of Catalonia.

This is an absolutely beautiful sight to see whether it’s by day or at night.

During the day, you will enjoy a walk around the park or Museu de Nacional d’Art de Catalunya or the panoramic views from this famous hill. And at night, there is a wide range of shows. The shows are normally choreographed with the light and also with music. This gives a lot of various effects to the fountain.

This is spectaculars and a really fun light show that has a great atmosphere.
