General Information

The Montjuïc is one of the top 5 attractions of Barcelona and it combines beauty, art, culture and history. Montjuïc is a hill located in the south of Barcelona looking over the city with a height of 200 meters. The site has a rich history and it is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Barcelona.

Accommodation in this area is recommended for those that want to get away from the noise of the central areas of the city but still wish to be close to all the action and attractions.

Most of the hotels in this area are located north of the hill, in the area of Avinguda del Paral-lel. This area is perfect for families and groups that are searching for a more affordable and spacious accommodation (for additional information – Family-friendly Hotels and Cheap Hotels in Barcelona).

Hotels in this area are further from the main attractions of the city than, for example, hotels near La Rambla or hotels near the Gothic Quarter, however they are still within a reasonable distance by public transportation (for additional information – Public Transportation in Barcelona). The main downside of accommodations in this area is that it is far away from the nightlife of Barcelona, so if you are looking for hotels close to nightclubs and restaurants this area is not recommended for you (for additional information – Visit Barcelona at Night).

Tips and Recommendations

• There are no hotels in the Montjuic park itself, most of the hotels are located around the hill. The character of the hotels is different than those situated in the eastern part of the Avinguda del Paral-lel, the ones near Plaça d’Espanya, or the hotels in the southern side of the Montjuic hill. It is recommended to check exactly the location of your accommodation prior of booking.
• This area is easily accessible from the Barcelona Airport. The shuttles that come from the airport stop directly in this area, so this is a great accommodation option if you want easy access to the airport (for additional information: Arriving from Barcelona Airport to the city).
