Somehow this beauty had escaped our rigorous pre-trip planning, but fortunately our delightfull innkeeper at Marina View B&B suggested a visit. No words can adequately describe this place, so I will only encourage that you DON'T MISS THIS!!! Tour tickets are required, but are very reasonable and easy to acquire - info available online or in person. The tour itself... more

Although you can get them online, you can also get them directly at the ticket office. We bought ours one day ahead - still plenty of tickets at the time. (End of August) Make note of the language the tour will be conducted in. The interior is stunning and definitely worth the visit. more

A fantastic building -- easy to see why the palace has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Very accesible -- a few minutes walk from the Urquinaona metro station and nearby Plaza Catalunya. If you're not lucky enough to be able to see a performance there, at least visit the Palace. more

The Palau is a don't-miss stop in Barcelona. We had the fortune to hear Manuel Gonzalez play Spanish guitar music at a 7pm Friday night concert. He was outstanding.

Interestingly, in spite of the repeated announcements that no picture-taking was allowed, everyone around us took photos before the concert and... more

The Palau de la Musica Catalana was created by the architect Lluis Domenech i Montaner about 100 years ago. This Art Nouveau landmark has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

We decided instead of taking a tour that we would see a performance, since there was a dance performance that was only 1 euro more than the... more

Went to a guitar concert here having picked up a handbill. Beautifully conserved art nouveau interior, comfortable (apparently original) seats with good legroom and good acoustics. Very enjoyable evening. Note that concerts often start late (around 9:00). more

we had bad luck the day we visited this place. They were doing a restoration and the most beautifull pilars were covered up in plastic. The stained glass ceiling is beautifull but we weren't aible to enjoy it long as we were also obliged to take a guided tour (which i'm not a big fan of). Tours are pretty fast... more

For the same price of a tour, 10 Euro, you can buy a ticket for an evening concert. We saw a 7PM piano concert. You can not take photos inside. Go directly to the theater to buy tickets. more
