Everything went smoothly. The view was fantastic. Don't let the line put you off, it moves really fast even if it doesn't look like it.

If you’re visiting Barcelona and don’t have much time in the city, I reckon you can give this attraction a miss. The funicular gets very hot in summer, and once you reach the top there isn’t much to see – at most, you can have a look at the harbour. You have to pay a separate admission fee to get into the castle, which I don’t think is worth the price, though you can take slightly better photos of the castle from there.

I spontaneously decided to walk up, which was well worth it at my own pace. Since it started raining on the way back, the view from the cable car was naturally clouded over. Still well worth it.
