Barcelona Tourist Trap Tips by karenincalifornia

I hesitate to list this as a tourist trap - I'll tell you that straight out. It gets points for providing one of the best views of the city of Barcelona. But it loses points because it is so expensive. It cost us $30 Eurodollars for four of us to ride to the top. What the heck. It's a tourist trap. The cost cancels out the view.

What is it? It's a gondola that goes up to the top of a hill in Barcelona called Montjuic. This hill is the location of a Military Museum (which we took a pass on) and some of the sites of the Olympic games.

At Least Do This: If you have a Metro pass, or took the Metro to get to the base of the hill, it costs you nothing more to take the funicular partway up the hill from the L2 or L3 lines. Take the Metro to Paral.lel, and look for the signs to the funicular. Take the funicular until it stops. It is possible to walk the rest o the way up from the top of the funicular.
