Aquarium

In the newly renovated Port Vell harbour you can not only enjoy the sight of luxury yachts and sailing boats, but also visit the local aquarium, one of the largest and most interesting aquariums in Europe.

Cable car, Lookout

The iconic red cable cars that span Barcelona’s Port Vell harbour not only provide transport from Montjuïc Park to Barceloneta beach, but are also a very popular tourist attraction. As the cable car runs relatively high above the ground, the journey offers some of the most beautiful views of Barcelona and the Mediterranean Sea.
