Walk to Montjuic castle, Barcelona

Montjuic castle is a must go place when you are in Barcelona, its a hill next to the coast line near the Columbus statue at end of La Rambla street. There are multiple ways of going there.

Cable car (teleferic) and Funicular.
Cable car works from the Coast line ot the mountain Miramar and then you can either take bus or walk all the way to Montjuic castle. The ticket cost 7 Euro one way and you can see a very nice view from top specially the coast line, in my opinion its not worth that money as you will finally have that panoramic view from the castle.
the Funiclar is under repair till mid 2016, which was one of the easient way to reach directly to the castle. 
Bus
In place of Funicular there are two buses running all day from station Pral-lel (line 3 and line 2) and Pl.Espanya. the buses are number 150 and also another special bus for Montjuic castle runs every 10 minutes. Before jumping in ask the driver if its going the Castle direction. the T10 card is fully valid in these buses that means its not expensive to go up to the castle as compared to the cable car which cost nearly 7 Euro.
Walking
It might look far but its just 3 km from the coast line by walk and there are planty of places to explore on the way that you will not feel it till the last 300 meter of steep climb :)
Any how I recommend to go at least one way by walking, its worth walking there. it takes nearly 30 min if you go without stopping.
KEEP YOUR WATER BOTTLE ,NO SHOPS ON THE WAY
ASK PEOPLE ON WAY FOR DIRECTION IF YOU DON'T HAVE NAVIGATOR
