All the buildings that sit in the arts and sciences area are spectacular but the Palace of Arts is like nothing else.

Amazing architecture to admire. We went to an opera performance and made the mistake to think that seats high up would be still be good enough for an enjoyable experience. Uncomfortably hot and unable to make out the people on stage was really not worth the 80 Euros per person. More

Went here rather by accident, and wasn't initially impressed. The religious collection, though, was surprisingly interesting to this general visitor. More

The whole concept of The City of Arts and Science is world class. If you have the opportunity and luck to have a performance at the opera do not miss it. Wold class, one of the best examples of beautiful modern architecture. Magnificent plus the activities such as the largest aquarium in Europe, The Opera at the level of PAris... More

We liked the exterior as well as the interior of the Opera building. What we disliked were the parking facilities. We went to the opera and had a long walk in the rain. And a lot of people who want to pay for the parking with only 2 automates. More
