The TelegraphMay 21, 2013Day 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 SMarch 18, 2018The 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 RJune 23, 2016Instead 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 PAugust 11, 2019Best 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 PenzoAugust 23, 2019Incredible experience for the eyes and the hears. Far from the touristic musts of Barcelona, this niche theatre has been an amazing surprise.
Lucille FisherJune 16, 2022A 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 GusacJuly 6, 2015You 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.
LukeOctober 18, 2019A gorgeous, absolutely over the top space. There’s way more detail here than the pictures can show. Catch a classical concert, if you can
McMathSeptember 4, 2014We 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 !
Robin BertelsJuly 28, 2015Every little detail of this building is amazing. Classified as a Unesco World Heritage site.
Eugene HwangOctober 17, 2017Just 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.- Andre RauchAugust 1, 2018Must! 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!
Seppe HazenboschMarch 29, 2016Did 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!
Luis CastroOctober 29, 2015This 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!
johnlemonApril 24, 2017Wonderful interior design! There are some cool concerts here, tickets are not so expensive.
Nataly BalanOctober 4, 2019Imposing building with both great interior and exterior. Next to it there is a monument which is worth observing from all sides
Hotel IndigoJanuary 30, 2014Less 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.
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.
Arzu R.April 29, 2016An awesome place, unfortunately we could not see inside 😢 A must see, please buy your tickets online in advance..
John KopsidasSeptember 29, 202216 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-VaseyNovember 16, 2018Excellent concert hall. Saw the Orquestra Guitarres de Barcelona. Acoustics were very good. Great Architecture
- Hotel Duquesa de Cardona BarcelonaOctober 29, 2012The 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.
Dimitri Van VosselJune 17, 2014Beautiful concert hall. Take the tour and then enjoy a cocktail on the terrace outside. Sometimes the tour fee includes a reduced concert ticket price.
Apartment BarcelonaNovember 13, 2014Catch a concert to enjoy its world-class acoustics and take a guided tour to discover the spectacular rooms and spaces. Read more
Njoud FahadNovember 30, 2014You must attend a flamingo show at this place !! Don't miss the beautiful details of the ceiling💃
Ioannis PapapetrouAugust 18, 2014One of the most beautiful places to be and enjoy an interesting show...You should book tickets online and be 1 hour before the show...
Sebastiaan VerschurenFebruary 23, 2016Amazing 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).
Kate SocatiyanurakJanuary 25, 2017Magnificent, great english tour, should have booked a concert here instead of at liceu
NokiaAugust 11, 2011Must-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.- Florent GosselinNovember 14, 2014Amazing 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!
JSeptember 27, 2015Stunning. Took the guided tour, and they play a bit of organ music, too. Will definitely attend a performance next time!
Town and Country MagazineFebruary 28, 2012Even 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.
ChicRoom Barcelona.comJune 6, 2012The 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.
Anton ShusterApril 8, 2016Beautiful building. You don't have to go see a show to look at the inside. There are several tours in English every day.
Biser DosevMay 2, 2017We visited Palau de la Musica, attending a guitar concert with Flamengo dancers. Definitely it was worth to see the place and the show.
izi.TRAVELMarch 31, 2014Catalonia 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
Jackie NapalanDecember 29, 2017Skip the tour and watch a concert for the full experience. Tickets range from 18€-68€.
Paulina LanzDecember 17, 2015You can enter through the restaurant to take a sneak peek of the architecture.
Sofia UzSeptember 21, 2014Beautiful building both outside and inside, usually features typical Catalan music
Nada KhayatNovember 14, 2016Great show, the dancers, singers & musicians, i didn't want them to stop. The theater is apiece of art 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Birim GonulsenApril 26, 2015Worth to book for a show or concert instead of having a tour only! Impressive atmopshere!
