A tourist attraction par excellence, the cable car links the sea to the mountain. On board you can contemplate some of the most spectacular views of the city. Reopened in the 1960s after being closed during the Spanish Civil War, the cable car has been repeating the same journey for more than 50 years and still preserves some of the original pieces from the 1930s.
Sea and mountain
Built in 1929 for the International Exposition in Barcelona, the cable car was the brainchild of the architect Carles Buïgas to join the wharf in Barceloneta to Montjuïc mountain. During the Spanish Civil War it stopped running and the towers that link the cables became strategic attack points. After some remodelling, the cable car route came back into service in 1963 and in the 1990s work was done to modernise it.
A 10-minute flight
Especially appreciated by tourists, the cable car has three stations: Torre de Sant Sebastià, at Barceloneta beach; Torre de Jaume I, in the middle of Port Vell and the Miramar area on Montjuïc mountain. Each day the cabins carry more than two thousand people keen to savour the exceptional views offered by this aerial experience across Barcelona. The journey is three thousand metres long and made in simple cabins, not too different from the original ones.
