The fountain show is mesmerising. Make sure you get here early to get a good seat. After the show has finished walk up to the top of the steps to get a wonderful view of Barcelona City at night.

Great light and fountain show Thursday-Saturday from 9-10pm. Get sangria at one of the kiosks and find a comfy seat . Just don't sit down wind from fountain bc you will get wet.

Bruno Alexander

Show starts at 21:00, finishes 23:30. There's a nice view of the font from the National Museum of Art of Barcelona, that worths a lot. If you stay until the end, get ready for long lines on the subway

The Magic Fountains are back onto their summer timetable. That means shows on Thursdays and Sundays again, as well as the Fridays and Saturdays !

Andre Rauch

The magic fountain is just a must see when in Barcelona, and can´t be visited enough times. It only is on during the weekend for a certain schedule, therefore it´s important to check out the schedule

Tania Ant

Amazing show that anyone who visits the town must see. The show starts at 9 but the park is full since 7. Go sit, drink and listen/see the street artists .

Jack Smith

Impressive display of fountains up one side of Montjuic. The water jets are synchronized whilst in operation, however from approx 21:00-23:00, the fountains are then illuminated with lights and music .

Kris Tin

music , lights and water - a must-see when in barcelona.

Denisa Herman

There are lights shows in the summer here. Unique experience. Usually between 21:30 and 22:30. Plus they play music through the speakers of the fountain . Well expect it to be full of tourists but yeah

Caitlin Mangels

Fun and free activity that anyone would enjoy. A colorful dancing fountain with music , it can get crowded but it's still very enjoyable!

There may only be shows on Fridays and Saturdays now that the winter season has arrived. But we think that just makes the fountains ' shows even more special! Read more

Don't just stop at the fountain 's show there is much more as you'll go up the stairs. All museums are free on the first Sunday of the month!

Bubble

At a specific time in the afternoons the fountain is lighted up and the speakers play music (Abba, Queen etc.). Lots of people go there for the show and that was more interesting than the show itself.

Diyan Dinev

Marvelos place! Great light show with music from 21h till midnight, Thursday to Sunday. The view is amazing day and night!

El Catador de Casa Pastor

Created by architect Carles Büigas, is one of the most popular places in the city . They have been working since 1929 and today they still impress with their light and music . Sit down and relax.

Friday-Saturday night from around 9.30pm. First they open the fountains infront of the museum and after they start the show.

Fantastic and awesome show , you must be aware of show times before you go

Beth Gossip

Would not recommend going to the first "show" at 9pm. Not too impressive if you can't see the lights. Best view from the 5(?) pillars. Also watch your belongings if you're picnicking

Dominica

Amazing view ...but you had to have a luck to see it sprinkle ;) Monuments are also amazing:-)

Best views are from the top / get the escalator up, bring a beer and enjoy the view :)

C0_okie

Come here after 8pm - every 30min (5min break between) fountain starts singing and dancing :) Must-see place in Barcelona. Hundreds of dancing and filming people around.

Jeremy C

A few blocks from Plaza Espanya , visit this fountain and grab a bench for a great view of Barcelona and Josep Puig castle/museum.

Doug Baer

Gets REALLY crowded . Get there early (before the fountains turn on) and go to the top, then work your way down once they start.

Shahad albakri

Amazing place????❤️You don't want to close your eyes because you want to see the beauty

Beverley Sproats

Worth a visit - a fun show of music and lights and fountains and a good atmosphere with lots if people milling around

Erik Eriksson

A perfect place for a romantic date . Bring your loved one and enjoy the fountain , music and lights against the backdrop of a gorgeous palace .

Hotel Principal Barcelona

It is a magnificent FREE show and the special fountain performance is just ´wow´. Highly recommended. Check music times/days because it does not operate every night.

Acomodis Barcelona

An archetypical Barcelona experience; water, lights and music combining to give spectators a unique spectacle. 15 minutes of distilled Barcelona fun!

Yıldız

Music show is not that much magical as its name. But the view from the plaça espanya is awesome with the stairs and the museum at the top.

OK Apartment Barcelona

The schedule of the shows are a bit of a mess, but you're almost guaranteed a show if you visit on saturday 19:00, 19:30, 20:00, and 20:30.

Mariam Tatishvili

The fountain is really spectacular. If you want to take a good place to watch the show come early, coz later this place becomes really crowded
