Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- mrstraveller1York, UK2,204 contributionsThe Basilica is worth a visit, it doesn’t match the wow factor of Familia Sagrada or Barcelona Cathedral, but it has its own stark beauty, plus, the rooftop offers great views, especially over the port area.Written 13 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was interesting to see the house and to learn a little about Gaudi and the history of the park. It’s a self-guided tour, which takes 20-30 minutes. It’s a good place to learn some background about the park before you start exploring.Written 18 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JGMcGNewport, UK399 contributionsI loved my recent trip to the Monestir de Pedrables - a peaceful, beautiful oasis. Excellent value as it only cost 5 euro entry. Friendly staff and an easy to follow self guided tour. Loved it.Written 25 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JamieSouthampton, UK14 contributionsWe thoroughly enjoyed joyed our trip here! It’s the old bull ring which hosted about 20,000 people and it’s very impressive from the inside. It’s €6 per person and you pay the attendant by the entrance and you can just wonder around the whole place. You can go onto the actual ring and go into where the bulls were kept ect we would recommend going. There is a small shop to buy merchandise and a small museum that you can wander around.Written 7 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- stephrabNew York City, NY891 contributionsWent to Barcelona to see BARCA soccer team play. They are currently at the stadium here in the Olympic area. Glad we made it up to the area.

- Maureen041Suttons Bay, MI66 contributionsI was happy to have discovered this street with the chocolate shops. It’s near the cathedral with a charming flea market out front and there’s is also a nice Christmas shop nearby.Written 5 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AlbertSalichsManresa, Spain23,877 contributionsParc del Fòrum is a modern place located in the surroundings of Barcelona city and close to the Mediterranean Sea, where you can walk, run, go to the beach or come to this place to see some temporal exhibitions. I came here with my almost 7 years old daughter to see "Expo Dinosaures", an exposition of large models of dinosaurs. A nice place to come with children, where they can see a lot of dinosaurs, see a documentary film and play with other children in a children area, where they can dig and find dinosaurs bonds ot they can go up to a "real" dinosaur. Small, but funny and too artificial.Written 26 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TommoMelbourne, Australia56,949 contributionsThe Palau Reial Major is a Royal Palace located in the Placa de Rei which is located in the heart of the Gothic Quarter.
This is where Christopher Columbus met the Catholic Kings on his return from the Americas in 1492.Written 23 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is a place to see some Roman ruins underneath. It’s pretty cool.Written 27 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Virgil SBarcelona, Spain673 contributionsImposing, on the Diagonal Avenue, stands one of the last buildings of modernism in Barcelona, heritage of everything that the masters of the style had done up to that point in Barcelona.
The work was signed by Gabriel Borrell, but is by the architect and writer Manuel Sayrach, son of the project promoter. Sayrach Jr. had not finished his degree when he conceived this interesting building that denotes a clear influence of Gaudí in the use of curved lines.
The lobby communicates the outside with the island patio and is divided into different sections covered with vaults supported by columns and bone-shaped capitals. At the end of the corridor, a large arcade lined with shapes reminiscent of a skeleton gives way to a staircase protected by an almost transparent lattice railing, simulating a fishing net, in which very vivid ceramic and enamel elements are embedded. There are also other elements that play an important role in the decoration of the set, such as the lift, the lamps, the furniture at the door, the plinths forming an extraordinary, imaginative sculptural set.Written 21 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are a few cafes and restaurants in the general area and you can have a drink or a meal in relative peace and quiet. Apparently lots of buskers and artists frequent this area and it becomes quite lively at certain times. The church Església de Santa Maria del Pi, is quite beautiful and is worth visiting too.Written 21 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- VadimMurmansk, Russia34,986 contributionsIf you face the statue, you will see a very medieval square, because modern houses will remain behind and to the side. The grey gloomy walls of the Santa Agata Chapel will be the backdrop for the statue of count Ramon Berenguer III by sculptor Josep Llimona i Bruguera installed here in 1888. The stylish architectural ensemble shows that the history of Barcelona doesn`t begin with Gaudi and Catalan modernism...Written 30 November 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
