Q: I will be traveling to Barcelona in December, does the cable car to the Montjuic is working during the winter months?

Tickets for Montjuïc Cable Car Tickets for Montjuïc Cable Car

According to the our opinion, trips by the cable car and the view from the top of Montjuic are more enjoyable in a pleasant summer day than if the weather is cold and windy. That is why if you visit the city in December, better skip this attraction and find something more suitable for winter (for additional information – Attractions and Tours in Barcelona and Winter Vacation in Barcelona).

Nevertheless, both vehicles are operating during the winter but with different schedule than in the summer months and you need to be prepared that journeys might be cancelled due to bad weather conditions (for additional information – Weather in Barcelona). Therefore, during winter it is suggested not to purchase your tickets in advance and to check the opening hours prior to your trip (for additional information – Montjuïc Cable Car Tickets in Advance).

The possibility to a cancellation is higher in case of Transbordador Aeri del Port because it is not closed so if you want to participate in a cable car experience in December, we recommend Montjuïc Cable Car.

Please note that both cable cars are out of service for several weeks in January or February due to annual maintenance. Moreover, between November and March Transbordador Aeri del Port is closed between 14:00-15:00.
