Parc de Montjuïc station
Parc de Montjuïc is the terminus of the Montjuïc Funicular.
Parc de Montjuïc is the upper station of the Montjuïc Funicular and, at the same time, the lower station of the Montjuïc cable car (Telefèric de Montjuïc). It opened on 24 October 1928 under the name Miramar, together with the funicular, for the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition.
It is underground, beneath the Avinguda de Miramar, halfway between Paral·lel metro station and the cable car’s Castell de Montjuïc station. In 1992 it was refurbished so that the funicular could serve as one of the ways up the hill during the Olympic Games, and in 2020 a further full upgrade of the facilities was completed. TMB classes it as accessible. Its entrance is on the Avinguda Miramar.

Frequently asked questions
