Day two - 9am: Have a coffee downstairs at the Palau de la Música Catalana concert hall (0034 902 442 882; palaumusica.org) to sneak a peak at the lobbym or book a guided tour for the whole thing.

Gunnar S

The Concerts are nice, no doubt. But the tour is short (50 mins) and expensive with 20 euros. The option with an additional concert can also be visited for free in the Lobby.

Justine R

Instead of paying for the Tour , go to a Flamenco performance ! You can experience the building and it's acoustics while enjoying some culture (trio de flamenco is really good!!)

S P

Best to see a concert of flamenco or Catalán music and visit by yourself rather than pay for a tour ... Double your pleasure for a few € extra ????

Matteo Penzo

Incredible experience for the eyes and the hears. Far from the touristic musts of Barcelona, this niche theatre has been an amazing surprise.

Lucille Fisher

A must see! And have a drink or snack in the cafe , or better yet watch a concert . But before you go in, walk around the building and be amazed by this work of art !

Vlad Gusac

You can take a tour for 15 euro or 11 with a discount from touristic bus . Also at approximately the same price there are concert tickets where you can enjoy the show and see the beautiful interiors .

Luis Castro

This place is just beautiful. The sound goes through the whole building and it resonates in beautiful way. Plus any educational event here seems to be really inspiring. Full of great things!

Eugene Hwang

Just gorgeous. Attended a flamenco thing. Barcelona might not be the “right” place for flamenco , but the show here beat the pants off the flamenco I saw in Sevilla, by a mile.

McMath

We enjoyed the visit so much that we booked our tickets for P J Gonzalez (guitarra espanyola). Amazing building, scene and acoustic . One of the best experiences here in Barcelona. Go, go, go !

Luke

A gorgeous, absolutely over the top space. There’s way more detail here than the pictures can show. Catch a classical concert , if you can

PALAU DE LA MUSICA CATALANA AND HOSPITAL DE SANT PAU - World Heritage UNESCO These are two of the finest contributions to Barcelona's architecture by the Catalan art nouveau architect Lluís Domènech .. Read more

Hotel Indigo

Less than four blocks from our boutique Barcelona hotel , the Palau de la Música concert hall stages an eclectic array of music and cultural performances ranging from jazz to opera to flamenco .

Robin Bertels

Every little detail of this building is amazing. Classified as a Unesco World Heritage site.

Nataly Balan

Imposing building with both great interior and exterior. Next to it there is a monument which is worth observing from all sides

Andre Rauch

Must! Must! Must! Great example of “modernisme catala” by the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner . Go to any of the concerts just to appreciate the interior and the sound!

Florent Gosselin

Amazing place dedicated to the catalan music . We saw Arte Flamenco show there with our 2.5 years old daughter and it was a great moment!

johnlemon

Wonderful interior design ! There are some cool concerts here, tickets are not so expensive .

Thomas van Zuijlen

Spring for good seats; being in the middle of that beautiful hall is more than worth the price of admission. This is the kind of tourist trap you can happily wander into.

Seppe Hazenbosch

Did the tour 4 years ago, it was great! We had a tour above the ceiling and we had a demonstration of the organ . Today, we did the tour again, but the tour was not as good as then and boring! No demo!

John Kopsidas

16 euros for the self guided tour is a bit too much. Have a look at the entrance take some pictures have a beer or churros with the 16 euros you saved.

Joanne Tosti-Vasey

Excellent concert hall . Saw the Orquestra Guitarres de Barcelona. Acoustics were very good. Great Architecture

Apartment Barcelona

Catch a concert to enjoy its world-class acoustics and take a guided tour to discover the spectacular rooms and spaces. Read more

Nokia

Must-see concert hall for music lovers! A composer close to our heart? Francisco Tárrega who lived in Barcelona during the building's construction . Nokia Tune ringtone is based on his work, Gran Vals.

Dimitri Van Vossel

Beautiful concert hall . Take the tour and then enjoy a cocktail on the terrace outside. Sometimes the tour fee includes a reduced concert ticket price.

Arzu R.

An awesome place, unfortunately we could not see inside ???? A must see, please buy your tickets online in advance..

izi.TRAVEL

Catalonia became increasingly rich at the end of the 19th century. And this new wealth needed symbols. It was a choral group which asked Lluís Domenech i Muntaner to build a prestigious concert hall . Read more

Ioannis Papapetrou

One of the most beautiful places to be and enjoy an interesting show...You should book tickets online and be 1 hour before the show...

Biser Dosev

We visited Palau de la Musica, attending a guitar concert with Flamengo dancers. Definitely it was worth to see the place and the show.

Njoud Fahad

You must attend a flamingo show at this place !! Don't miss the beautiful details of the ceiling????

Town and Country Magazine

Even locals dress up to attend their notorious flamenco shows with excellent dancing . A truly unique cultural experience unlike any other that is worth the late-night excursion.

J

Stunning. Took the guided tour , and they play a bit of organ music , too. Will definitely attend a performance next time!

Hotel Duquesa de Cardona Barcelona

The skylight represents a sun that expands in all directions and bathes with its water nymphs that seem to sing in the water, a lake that contrasts with the warmth of the centre of the structure .

ChicRoom Barcelona.com

The Palau de la Musica Catalana is a Masterpiece of the Modernist Architecture of Barcelona. It was designed by Lluis Domenèch i Montaner and it was built between 1905 and 1908.

Sebastiaan Verschuren

Amazing building. It is a shame the streets are so small so you can't see the whole building at once (but maybe that's a bit of it's charm as well ).

Belkis Sari Evrim

The best concert ı had in Barcelona , the audience is very nice!!! You also watch the walls during the concerts

Apartment Barcelona

The most representative building of Modernist-Catalan style in Barcelona...a true homage to Catalan music and culture! Be sure to catch an unforgettable concert here! http://bit.ly/SZ7KLn

Anton Shuster

Beautiful building. You don't have to go see a show to look at the inside. There are several tours in English every day.

Anurita

Don't forget to have a tallat at the coffee shop after a great concert or a tour of the incredible Palau !

Birim Gonulsen

Worth to book for a show or concert instead of having a tour only! Impressive atmopshere!

Sofia Uz

Beautiful building both outside and inside, usually features typical Catalan music

Nada Khayat

Great show, the dancers, singers & musicians , i didn't want them to stop. The theater is apiece of art ????????????????????????

Ulceby Lodge B & B Bed & Breakfast

Magnificent building with good acoustics for shows great ambience

Jackie Napalan

Skip the tour and watch a concert for the full experience. Tickets range from 18€-68€.

Airzinho F

Pay for the tour , you will learn so much about the building. It has way more meaning!!

Kate Socatiyanurak

Magnificent, great english tour , should have booked a concert here instead of at liceu

Deniz Yetimoğlu Karslı

One of the best architecture example in Barcelona which is not mentioned in the city map very well .
