Montjuic Walking Tour

YOUR PRIVATE MONTJUIC TOUR

Around the green lung of Barcelona: gardens, sports and culture

Have you already visited the Gaudi sites and the Old Town and want to see something else? Do you have a spare morning to explore other areas of the city? Are you looking for a lighter tour, enjoying the city views, walking around nature with maybe a touch of art or sport? Then this tour is for you!

When people have already seen the top city sites, they often run out of ideas for what else to do. And when I suggest to explore the Montjuic Hill, the simple mention of a “hill” sounds like too broad to navigate by yourself. And it’s actually not as tricky if you know where to find the paths that connect the sites there. And our guides do!

Get ready to explore the Hill that marks the Southern limits of Barcelona, and learn about how it has been involved in several crucial moments of our history, in this leisurely tour that also offers plenty of opportunities to relax and take great pictures.

The last part of the tour is customizable and you can choose between visiting the Miró Foundation if you are an art lover, taking the cablecar to the Montjuic castle or enjoy an authentic tapas meal.

  • WHERE DO WE END? At the last visited site, depending on your itinerary choices.
  • IS THERE A LUNCH STOP? Only optionally if you choose the tapas lunch option.
  • HOW DO WE MOVE AROUND? If you book the 4-hr chauffeured option, you’ll have a Mercedes car or minivan with dedicated driver at your disposal. If you booked a 3-hr walking and taxi tour, this itinerary requires two taxi rides (around €10/ride, not included).
  • IS THIS A SKIP-THE-LINE TOUR? Yes! Our guides are licensed and entitled to skip the lines and give explanations inside all sites. Enjoy fast-track access everywhere.
  • HOW DOES THE ABRIDGED VERSION WORK? The abridged tour version is a walking tour of around 3 hours, without the customized part of the full 4-hr tour. The drivers charge for a minimum of 4-hr service, which is why we don’t offer it as a chauffeured tour (but you can opt to pay for the 4 entire hours and go only for 3).
  • CAN WE SEE THE MAGIC FOUNTAIN ON THIS MONTJUIC TOUR? Yes. If the Montjuïc Tour is scheduled for the late afternoon, it can be hooked up with the Magic Fountain show. There’s different possibilities: End the tour there, so you can watch it right after, end at some nearby restaurant, so you can go on your own after dinner, skip one site so there’s time to see it with your guide, or extend the tour and have the guide stay with you during the show. The Montjuic Fountain show takes place Friday and Saturday in the evening all year around except maintenance works and special events, plus some Wednesdays and Thursdays during high season. Check their schedule here. 

TRAVELERS WHO TOOK OUR MONTJUIC WALKING TOUR SAY:

Family on a Mountain of Montjuic Walking Tour

“We did two ForeverBarcelona tours during our trip. Our first full day in Barcelona we did the private all day tour with Miriam. We also did the Montjuic Tour at night with Maria Jesus. She was great and knowledgeable too (beyond patient with my 9 years old food choices). My three kids enjoyed both tours too! Highly recommend.”
