1. Tibidabo Viewpoint:
The "Templo del Sagrado Corazon de Jesus" is, in my opinion, the best view of Barcelona, the church is lovely with its stained glasses, the statue of Christ on top of it, it is a place you have to see when in Barcelona.
There is a lift inside the church that will take you to the top of it. It was pretty windy when I went there but not dangerous at all.
Address: Cumbre del Tibidabo Serra de Collserola Natural Park, 08035 Barcelona.
How to get there: From Placa de Catalunya, catch the urban train S1 is S2 in Placa de Catalunya, direction Sabadell Parc del Nord, get off at Peu del Funicular Station and catch the funicular Vallvidrera Inferior (located right outside) direction Vallvidera Superior. When you get to the end of it, catch the bus 111 toward Tibidabo and get off when you get at the end, on top of the mountain.

2. Barcelona Cable Car:
Barcelona cable car will take you up to a viewpoint on the Montjuic. It is the easiest and faster way to reach the top of the Montjuic, so if you are not scared of heights, it can be a good option.
From the port, you can take the funicular to Paral.lel Station (or the L2 or L3 metro).
The ticket costs €2.40 for a one-way trip, but it's also included in your Hola Barcelona Public Transport Card.
You will get to the Station Funicular de Montjuic, from there you have to walk 15 minutes to reach the bottom of the Teleferico de Montjuic, there you can catch the cable car and reach the top of the mountain. Book your Montjuic funicular ticket to enjoy beautiful views.

La Pedrera is another beautiful building by Antony Gaudi, where you will admire the apartment of the Mila family. During the tour, you will visit the roof and enjoy a beautiful view of the flat, attic and courtyards, where you will be amazed by its beauty.
I went there during the day, but I heard that it is also spectacular in the evening, cause you can enjoy the stunning view of Barcelona at night.
I advise you to book a visit during the evening to see Barcelona at night.

It is a majestic building, and it deserves to be admired. You can also climb up to the top and enjoy a fantastic view.

10. Las Arenas Viewpoint:
Before starting your climb up to the Montjuic, I advise you to go up to the Shopping Center Las Arenas at the back of the square (it looks like an arena, so you cannot miss it).
There is an outside elevator on top of it, but it is ticketed.
So go inside the shopping Center, go up to the many escalators, keep going till the top. You will see a big glass door, get outside, and you will be on top of the building for free.
Enjoy the view. It is spectacular!

Casa Terradas (house of spikes) is a large Gotic residential house in the city's centre. It was possible to visit it by purchasing a tour ticket but because of the pandemic, this tour is not available anymore. Let's hope they will reopen it to the public soon. It is still worth a visit just on the outside.
