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.

    May be the Most impressive cathedral in all of Spain! I’ve been aware of the Gaudi design for decades, but never took it serious enough to want to visit. So glad I finally saw it! The East facade was fascinating. The interior was awesome. Must catch the sun through the stained glass!!!!

    The building is very old, antique, and splendid in design, colors, and an architectural masterpiece that you will only see in Barcelona. This building is located near Plaza Catalunya on Brands Street, one of the most important landmarks.

    Super fun and bustling covered market! It's local but all the tourists know about it too. It's really fun to walk through and to get something to eat too.

    A masterpiece of Art Nouveau architecture built by the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. Now the palace hosts various performances, the program of which can be viewed on the Palace website. You should definitely visit, an extraordinary experience.

    What can I say about Casa Mila (aka La Pedrera) that hasn’t already been said? Very little.

    My friend and I visited in a gloriously sunny week towards the end of November. Having been warned of long queues, we had purchased our tickets online beforehand, but when we arrived mid-morning, there was no queue in sight and we were admitted in seconds. We had booked on La Pedrera’s official website where there are currently nine different tour options available, but we only bought the Essential ticket with which you can walk through this astonishing building at your own pace and spend as much time as you like, using a free audio guide if you like. Tickets cost 28 Euro per adult and 19 Euro for seniors 65+ years. Not having been to any of Gaudi’s buildings before, I found the entry fee quite high but honestly, exiting Casa Mila after well over two hours spent inside and on the rooftop, I thought it excellent value for money and I would like to think that by paying our way in, we have contributed in some small measure to the upkeep of this amazing architectural gem. The publicly accessible parts of Casa Mila are in wonderful condition and spotlessly clean, including the visitor toilets. There is lots of staff, mostly young guides who are easy to approach and exceptionally friendly and helpful, with good to very good English. Obviously, such service comes at a price.

    Anyway, the building: I’ve never seen anything like it. Gaudi’s love of nature and organic shapes and forms showed in everything we saw. The man was wayyyyyy ahead of his time, combining art and design with practical elements, including the first ever residential underground garage, ventilation of the apartments contained in the building, ergonomic door handles etc. The visitable apartment is incredibly gorgeous, particularly for lovers of Art Nouveau. The attic construction is nothing short of astonishing. The roof terrace is just magical, and if you can tear your eyes away from the beauty of the roof, spare a glance for the gorgeous old buildings of the surrounding streetscape and also the Sagrada Familia in the near distance.

    I’m hoping to be back in Barcelona next spring to visit all of Gaudi’s visitable buildings and will definitely go and see Casa Mila again. My compliments to the welcoming staff, from ticketing to security screening, gift shop and housekeeping, and the young people from the visitor service team. Your genuine friendliness was much appreciated!

    This gem of Barcelona can be eclipsed by her very glamorous sister, La Sagrada Familia, however, she is well worth the time. A much older and,to my mind, more authentic experience is to be enjoyed here. The architecture demonstrates a number of styles over the almost 800 years of its existence. It has been through many of the tribulations and battles that have assaulted Barcelona over the centuries. Take the time to savour the inside and outside of this beautiful building ane be sure to take the lift to the roof to enjoy in more detail the architecture of the Cathedral, as well as the views across the city. The cloister with the geese in situ was an unexpected and very pleasant surprise. The artwork within the cathedral, as well as the tomb of St. Eulalia are very beautiful.

    Incredible experience at Spotify Camp Nou! Walking through the stadium, seeing the trophy room, and standing pitch-side was unforgettable. A must for any football fan visiting Barcelona. Loved every moment!

    It is one of the most beautiful gothic cathedrals I’ve ever seen. It’s so stunning - also from the inside. The 4 stars are only because at first a young lady at the entrance told me I cannot enter with a skirt. Another women had to come to fix the situation. But aside from that it would be a 5/5.

    We opted for the guided tour option and would most definitely recommend. The tour was very interesting and informative in regard to Picasso's early life as well his abstract art.

    The museum itself is very beautiful and in a great location.

    Our tour guide was fantastic (unfortunately, we did not catch her name) - she was always happy to answer any questions and was very welcoming.

    The museum staff were very rude, we needed to ask a few questions prior to our tour and every member of staff we spoke to were obnoxious and unhelpful (some opted to ignore us and chat amongst themselves) we constantly received one word answers which were of no use to us whatsoever. This is such a shame as the museum itself is the complete opposite.

    Visited it twice because there was a lot to see. Our favourites included the 12th century frescos and furniture by Gaudi. Views from terrace up top worth the trek up when queue is long but you can use the stairs. Cafe serves good coffee. You can also get great views from outside the museum. Pity the fountains had been turned up. There is also a botanical garden to enjoy by the side of the museum.

    the performance was entertaining. The food wasn't worth it - bit of a budget buffet that wasn't warm, but the performance was interesting - despite the rude crowd!

    This place is amazing! I’m not normally a fan of museums but this one is great. It is disinter with children in mind-lots of interactive displays for the little ones to get involved in. We were lucky enough to see the music installation too which was exceptional. We spent ages there, exploring sound, banging drums, creating music in different ways. The staff were all lovely and one fabulous security guard found my little girls lost teddy and kept it safe for her.
    The ground floor occupied us for several hours and we were delighted with it all which made the long journey in the rain, worthwhile!
    There is a rainforest area where you can view animals and fish and a lovely outdoor space too.
    Only two negatives were-the entrance hall was not well managed. We queued for 45mins upon arrival and two members of staff on the desk were seriously snowed under.
    Also the cafe had hardly any sandwiches and was very full. We managed alright with a strange selection of bits but there was not much food left to choose from at 1.30pm!
