A few of the best ways to see the city of Barcelona include walking the historic streets of the Barri Gotic and strolling around the more modern plazas of the neighbourhood of Eixample. But what if you want alternative views of the city? What if there was a way to view Barcelona villas<\/a>, shops, statues, and structures from the sky? Well there is! In fact, there are actually a few ways to get a bird\u2019s eye view of the city of Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Port Vell Tramway<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Port Vell Aerial Tramway was opened in 1931, but the original cabins are still in use today, which makes this a very interesting and historic attraction in the city. The base station location in Barcelona<\/a> is very convenient at La Barceloneta, and the 1,303-meter long line transports visitors from the coast to the top of Montju\u00efc for truly breathtaking views. The entire ride provides great views along the way, especially of the harbour, and if it\u2019s clear you can even see as far as far as the Sagrada Familia and the Hospital de Sant Pau. If you\u2019re not too fond of heights, don\u2019t worry \u2014 a single ride only lasts five to 10 minutes in total.<\/p>\n

Montju\u00efc Cable Car<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many visitors on holiday in Barcelona<\/a> think that the Port Vell Tramway and the Montju\u00efc Cable Car are the same thing, but actually they\u2019re two very different and distinct attractions. Opened in 1970, the Montju\u00efc Cable Car travels between Montju\u00efc Park and Montju\u00efc Castle near the mountain\u2019s summit. Not only is it an excellent way to reach the castle without tiring out your legs, it\u2019s also an amazing opportunity to get a different view of the city below. The ride takes just five minutes, but thanks to the glass-encased cabins, this is all the time you need to enjoy the views and take some great pictures.<\/p>\n

City Views<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that there\u2019s another great way to enjoy a unique view of Barcelona, too: from your airplane! Thanks to the airport\u2019s convenient location just along the coast from Montju\u00efc, you\u2019ll enjoy some spectacular views at the start and end of your holiday in Spain<\/a> without having to leave your seat!<\/p>\n
