Montjuïc is the birthplace of Barcelona: the hillside where the Llobregat River meets the Mediterranean, where ancient Romans left their ruins, and where Medieval residents buried their dead. Today, its slopes are home to some of the city’s most striking architecture. You’ll be able to witness this dynamic private tour combining art, history and natural beauty. Arriving via cable car at the hilltop fortress of Montjuïc Castle, you’ll take in the panoramic grounds of the 1992 Olympics, the Romanesque churches and frescoes now contained within the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC), and a textile factory designed by Catalan modernist master Puig i Cadafalch. You’ll also discover the artistic delights of the Joan Miró Foundation building. Conceived by the great artist as a surrealist playhouse for his own paintings, sculptures and ceramics, it’s also a showcase for other wayward contemporary talents. And when all the man-made sights are set aside, you’ve still got that spectacular view.
