Introduction

Montjuïc is a green hill south of Barcelona overlooking the city and harbor—a hill gathering many museums, gardens, sports venues, an old castle and viewpoints, with panoramic views of Barcelona; it is a destination blending nature, culture, history and scenery, a richly rewarding Barcelona outing. Montjuïc is a green hill overlooking Barcelona and its Mediterranean port, scenic and full of content. The hill carries many of Barcelona's important sites and sights: it was the main venue of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, and retains Olympic facilities such as the Olympic Stadium; it also gathers important cultural venues such as the National Art Museum of Catalonia (in the grand National Palace, holding rich Catalan art, especially famed for its medieval Romanesque mural collection) and the Joan Miró Foundation (modern art); besides, the hill has Montjuïc Castle (an old fortress overlooking the port), beautiful gardens, and the famous Magic Fountain—a large musical fountain that dances to music and light, its night performances brilliant and charming. One of Montjuïc's greatest charms is its superb view: climbing the hill (or taking the cable car), you can take in Barcelona's full cityscape, the busy port and the blue Mediterranean, an extremely open and grand vista. Visitors can take the cable car or walk up Montjuïc, explore its many museums, gardens, castle and viewpoints, enjoy Barcelona's panorama and watch the Magic Fountain show. Visiting Barcelona's Montjuïc, overlooking the city and harbor panorama and exploring its rich cultural venues and gardens, is a content-rich Barcelona experience.
