 The tram by SirRichard
As the tram goes at snail pace up the hill, you can admire some of the beautiful houses built in both sides of the street.

 The colorful Funicular at
Tibidabo by seamandrew
Oh, there is a blue tram that takes you from the trainstation at Avinguda Tibidabo up to the Plaça del Funicular where you board the funicular. We had to take a bus, I never did see the so called Tram. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Cable cars ascend Montjuïc by seamandrew
Our suggestion is to walk up to where the actual funicular trip ends and it switches over to the cable car. You can then walk down. Makes for an easy and non-strenuous visit of Montjuïc. If you choose to do this, walk up by the Palace and walk down the Avinguda de l'Estadi. If you plan on taking the funicular up from the bottom, then take the train to Paral-lel.

 The entrance of the funicular by SirRichard
Anyway I tried: I took the metro to "Avinguda del Tibidabo", then took the "Blue Tram" up the middle of the hill... but when I was up there, about to enter the funicular that takes you to the park, it started raining sooooo hard that I changed plans and went down again, as there is no point in going there in a rainy grey day...
But anyway, that's the way to go, and I will try in my next visit to BCN :-) Leave a Comment Theme: Other

While on holiday, you might like to take one or more of the "leisure" transports. You can get wonderful views of the city from the cable cars, or from the top of Montjuic and Tibidabo mountains
MONTJUIC
- There is a cable car, "Aeri del Port" from Barceloneta to the Harbour and to Montjuic
Aeri del Port
If you decide to take this one up to Montjuic, take it at Barceloneta. You usually have to wait for a long time at the intermediate stop at the harbour near Columbus statue, as you will only allowed to get up if someone goes down there (but most people will continue until Montjuic)
- There is ANOTHER cable car at Montjuic Mountain, "Aeri de Montjuic" (that goes around the mountain, not from/to the mountain)
Aeri de Montjuic
never took this one, can't say if it's worth it!
- A different option (definitely less scenic, but cheaper and faster) to get up to Montjuic is the funicular from Paral.lel. This one is included in the transport cards (like T-10)
Funicular de Montjuic
TIBIDABO
- The Blue Tram starts at Av. Tibidabo, you can reach it by FGC train L7 (Pl. Catalunya- Av Tibidabo) or several buses. The Blue Tram will take you to the bottom of the Funicular that reach Tibidabo's top (Amusement park, church...)
Blue Tram only runs on weekends off-season, here you have their timetables:
Tramvia Blau
When the Blue Tram is not running, you can take a bus instead to the Funicular
The Funicular only runs when the Amusement Park is open
Funicular del Tibidabo
The only time I tried to get on the Blue Tram the queues were so huge we decided to walk up (we were going to CosmmoCaixa, not to the top). I never went to Tibidabo using public transport so I can't tell you first hand how convenient it is (it looks fun indeed) Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Monterrat
Funicular/Barcelona/Spain by hokomoko
The funicular Sant Joan, first use in 1918, was built to link the Monastery to the top of the Santa Magdalena mountain where a footpath lead to the hermitage of Sant Jeroni.
The track is absolutely straight with a maximum gradient of 66%.
In 1997, two new cabins succeeded to those which were used since 1926 Leave a Comment

The Blue Tram and Funicular that lead to Tibidabo are not worth the fuss at all. They pack both vehicles so full that it is uncomfortable and difficult to see out the windows. Unfortunately, they remain the best way to get up Tibidabo for people without cars. I recommend taking them up the mountain and walking down! Leave a Comment Theme: Other
