Montjuïc has multiple gardens which are a green space to relax and enjoy a picnic and this page is about the concentration of gardens that are easily accessible via the TMB Funicular de Montjuïc upper station.
The gardens in Montjuïc were built for the 1929 International Exposition. The site was originally woodland and grazing land and contained a medieval Jewish cemetery which is where Mount Jewish or Montjuïc derives it's name. The lower gardens are from the 1929 International Exposition with the higher gardens being modern additions.

Most of the gardens in Montjuïc are gated and closed at night. Opening times vary depending on the season and solar time. They close when it gets dark in the evening.
Laribal gardens, Greek theatre garden, Joan Brossa garden and Mossen Cinto Verdaguer garden
Jardins del Mirador are not gated so do not have opening hours.
These are public gated gardens with no restrictions on what you can take inside.
Note that there are plenty of steps between different levels of the terraced paths.
Travel light. There are drinking fountains inside the gardens.
