Best views of Barcelona: the Montjuïc & Panoramic Tour

Come and see the best views over the city with the Montjuïc & Panoramic Tour. The old port, the Olympic Ring and the entrance to Poble Espanyol. This tour combines two areas of natural beauty used by Barcelona for culture and recreation.

The Waterfront which is a living example of how the very old can be successfully combined with the very new: the Old Port with its Dock warehouses and the Gothic Drassanes or shipyards have been preserved and incorporated into a remodelled recreational area, with the Aquarium, the World Trade Centre, restaurants and cinemas. Just north of the Old Port, the Olympic Village and Olympic Port were built for the ‘92 Games, transforming an industrial part of the city into apartments facing the sea, beaches, marina, and parks, criss-crossed with bicycle paths;

Montjuïch Hill with its parks, art galleries, museums and the 1992 Olympic Ring of sports stadiums also provides spectacular views over the city. We will visit the charming Poble Espanyol and have free time for lunch there; we will give you a voucher valid for a 10% discount in any restaurant.

Mirador del Alcalde (the Mayor.s Lookout) stop: This terrace is a balcony over the Mediterranean with spectacular views over the harbour and the whole city. The bus will stop here to let you walk around and get the best viewpoints.

Poble Espanyol: Final place on the tour so people who so wish can stay for as long as they like. Built for the 1929 Exhibition, you can see replicas of streets, squares, monuments and buildings from around the country. After lunch, the tour will return to Plaça Catalunya and link with the Montserrat Tour for those who wish to see this special monastery and mountain.

   I rented an apartment near montjuic from barcelona-home. Such a beautiful view. I would go for a run up there after work. It is a nice break from the city, as you do not feel like you are in a large city anymore.
