Montjuïc
Montjuïc is home to some of the city's finest art collections - Museu Nacional d'Art de
Catalunya, CaixaForum and Fundació Joan Miró. It also hosts several lesser museums,
curious sights like the Poble Espanyol, the sinister Castell de Montjuïc and the beautiful re-
make of Mies van der Rohe's 1920s German pavilion Pavelló Mies van der Rohe. The bulk
of the Olympic installations of the 1992 games are also here. Come at night and witness the
spectacle of Font Màgica, several busy theatres and a couple of nightclubs. Throw in vari-
ous parks and gardens and you have the makings of an extremely full couple of days.
You can approach the hill from Plaça d'Espanya on foot and take advantage of a series of
escalators up to Avinguda de l'Estadi. Alternatively, and spectacularly, you can get onto a
cable car from Barceloneta and take in the beautiful aerial views of the verdant hill.
