The station serves the hill of Montjuïc and the various sporting and other facilities there.

The funicular accepts Autoritat del Transport Metropolità (ATM) tickets, and the station therefore has ticket machines and barriers identical to those of all other Barcelona metro stations.

The station has twin platforms, one on each side of the terminal track.

The funicular station is adjacent to the lower station of the Montjuïc Cable Car, a gondola lift that continues uphill to a terminal near the Montjuïc Castle on the summit of the hill.

Whilst operated by the TMB, the cable car does not accept metro ticketing, and passengers must exit one station before entering the other.
