Archeology Museum Empúries

Archaeological museum
Museums
Excavated ancient city overlooking the sea with a wharf, forum and thorough archaeological museum.
I cannot recommend enough the audio guide. It’s beautifully written, well put together and helps bring everything alive. The day we visited, though not too hot (30°) but there is little to no shade so make sure you’re wearing a hat and comfortable shoes. The site has preserved the idea of the two towns (Greek and Roman) without resorting to oafish reproductions. It’s all still exposed and wild and benefits from that. Astonishing to think that 200 years before Christ, the Greeks were already living and trading here. The neighbouring village is elegant and charming with what seem like some fine dining spots. On the whole, if you’re in the area, have an interest in history and want to revel in the ancient, do have a look. On the way out you’ll pass the relics of the amphitheater… I dare you to stand in the middle and not ask the world “are you not entertained?!”
Scott C — Google review
Dating back to the 5th Century BC, the Ruins of Empuries was first Greek and then a Roman city that was built around trading. The site is vast and takes atleast 2 hours to see, consisting of the Greek city, the Museum and the Roman city. The Greek city is the highlight of the ruins and similar to Delos. A must visit and well worth the 40 min drive from Girona
Brendan D — Google review
What a wonderful spot for an escape enroute to Barcelona from Figueres! Plan for 3-4 hours to soak it all in, or a day and enjoy the beach as well! You’ll travel back 2500 years walking through the ruins! And have detailed descriptions from the cell phone guided tour.

I went in November on a stormy day. So they were no summer tourists all over the place. It was raining all morning and when I reached the.place in the afternoon I was only one at the Museum. For the full 1 hr or so, I had the entire place for myself. It was so surreal :) Coming to the place itself, how often do you get to see Greek and Roman ruins at one place and at this scale? I have always been a Greek and Roman mythology Nerd and this was a perfect place for a guy like me :) If you are anywhere in the Costa Brava region and you are into history, dont miss this place :)
Suresh K — Google review
Very interesting place, having both roman and greek ruïns so close to eachother. I liked going here. You can take wonderfull pictures and they have an audioguide you can use on your phone with free wifi. AMAZING! Ps. It does get quit hot here sometimes so if you're going in summer I'd recomend bringing a hat because there isn't a lot of shade. :)
Lotte C — Google review
We paid 7 euros, and it was definitely the best 7 euros spent in a long time! Fascinating site still undergoing excavation. There are plenty of details around the Greek site, but not as much on the Roman site. You could easily spend a day there. Take plenty of water and sunscreen as you will be outside with little shade for the majority of the time. The indoor exhibition was closed for refurbishment on our visit, but they had put some of the better finds in a small room below.

Great beach, clean clear water . Only downside is there are no public toilets. You have to use the beach bar to get a key
Viv H — Google review
Didn’t expect to enjoy as much as I did! Lots of walking involved but the audio guide was super informative which really caught our attention. Google maps wasn’t as helpful as just following the road signs once we were near the site. Also has a GORGEOUS on site restaurant/cafe with a huge patio I wish we had time to try. We went a weekday in October and it was phenomenal weather and super empty. I imagine it gets quite hot as it’s exposed outside. Also a few bathrooms which is helpful. Parking was a lot just after the museum turn off road sign.

Dalí Theatre-Museum

Mentioned on 
79 lists 
Art museum
Museums
The Dalí Theatre and Museum in Figueres is a must-visit 19th-century theatre that houses an elaborate museum featuring the artworks of Salvador Dalí. The museum is part art gallery, part museum, and mausoleum, offering a dream-like journey through 20th-century European Dadaism.
Transported! What a wonderful journey through this gallery. I booked my ticket through the website, but you can also buy tickets there - but I would book an allotted time ahead as it is very popular. You can only go in at your slotted time. No early entry - to be fair it’s good because you can appreciate the building and Dali’s works without it too crowded. From early work to photos of the build of the gallery, to some of iconic Dali’s masterpieces.. brilliant. Figuers is lovely to wander around, have a coffee, sit, eat lunch..Dali is everywhere.
Sheree S — Google review
If you're interested in surrealism, a visit to the Dalí Museum in Figueres is a must. I've been there before, ages ago. But I enjoyed it this time even more. I guess there is no doubt about the greatness of Dalí's extraordinary and astonishing work. We ordered the tickets online before. It's recommended. We parked right at the Museum in a parking garage (payed 3,30 € per hour). My son is disabled so he didn't had to pay the entry fee. We booked it in advance and it was no problem with a german severely disabled certificate at the entrance of the museum. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Will visit again next time I will be in Catalonia.

Fantastic place! Got a fast pass skip the line ticket and got in right away, definitely recommend doing this, as even in off season it was suuuuper busy. The art and architecture is amazing. Lots of different rooms and areas to view and take in all the imagery. There are a few spaces to sit down, but could do with some more chairs around though, especially at it takes a few hours to really take everything in and visit all the rooms. In terms of accessibility, best to check with the venue itself to ensure it’s suitable for you. Some ramps are very steep and stairs are quite spiralling. Not sure how many tour groups are allowed in at each time slot but there were so many at the time I went and they rush and push through quickly through the narrow hallways, so be aware of this as well. Really fun day, nice walk through town to get there and lots of places to grab a drink, snack or coffee before or after your visit.
Emma B — Google review
Paintings, drawings and ’flat’ art very good, sculptures and other works less interesting to me. Entry tickets are timed so buy when you arrive then join the line. There is no signage to give a structured tour of the museum, so you have to wander around and make sure you don’t miss anything. Too crowded, people always in front of you, pushing phones in front of you and snapping away, or standing posing. In those situations it’s hard to take in and appreciate what you’re seeing.
Alan ( — Google review
This museum takes you on a trip- a wonderful exploration into Dalís world and life. It's a very special place, created with so much heart and soul. Something everybody should experience. We've been there on a sunday in october, without reservations and got tickets without waiting. The rooms and floors inside are a bit smaller, so it was a little busy, but nevertheless, it was enough space to enjoy everything. There's a lot to discover, and watching every painting and installation closely you could easily spend the whole day there. But you can also see everything in about 1 or 2 hours. An unforgettable experience. Gaudeix :)

A must-see museum if you love Dali’s work. Even though it was busy, I still enjoyed taking my time and appreciating the artwork and sculptures. Get your tickets online in advance and be prepared to be mind-blown!

A place you must visit and see. Art enriches your consciousness and gives you the opportunity to be a better person. I recommend it. An extraordinary place where art and everyday life are clearly visible. It's wonderful that Spaniards care so much about their heritage.

The Dali Museum was the highlight of our time in eastern Spain! Since we visited in November, the museum was not packed with visitors. To see Dali’s work up close was magical! This is a “must see” when visiting Spain!

Castell de Sant Ferran

Mentioned on 
+37 other lists 
Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
Castell de Sant Ferran is an 18th-century military fortress and former prison located in Figueres. It is renowned as one of the largest fortresses in Europe and offers pre-arranged guided tours with audio. The fortress overlooks Figueres, providing stunning views of the surrounding countryside and mountains. Visitors can explore the well-preserved fortifications and Casemates beneath the thick stone walls on a self-guided tour for a nominal entrance fee.
A very interesting place to visit, lots to see. Watch the video before you walk around and visit the photographic exhibition. Next time we visit we will book the water cathedral tour in advance as this looks like it would be an amazing experience. There is free parking with no height barrier. Don't visit on Monday's as its closed, but you can walk around the perimeter which is fairly spectacular in itself. Not expensive, only 5€ each. The tours cost more, but are still good value. We are definitely visiting again.
Elizabeth J — Google review
I visited the Sant Ferran Castle in Figueres and it was a truly impressive experience. It’s a massive military fortress, very well preserved, and you can really get a sense of how these defensive structures worked up close. The scale of the place is stunning – from the thick stone walls to the underground tunnels and the huge water cisterns. One of the highlights was a short 4x4 guided tour around the outer moat, which was both fun and informative. You can even walk along the ramparts and enjoy amazing views over the Empordà region. There are original cannons, vast courtyards, and fascinating stories behind every corner. The staff were friendly and passionate about the history of the site. Highly recommended if you're in the area – a great stop for history lovers or anyone curious about military architecture!
Aniol E — Google review
Interesting peace of history just next to a very big parking perfect for campers and safe (during the day) because of the many people coming and going. Only à ten minute walk to the Dalì museum. The castle is vast and has some impressive views over the region and city.
Tim H — Google review
That’s definitely one of the most underestimated landmarks I’ve ever been to. It’s the largest military facility / fortress in Europe. For sure the Dalí museum is the heart of Figueres but this place is fantastic. It’s only 20 mins on foot from the museum. There is a parking available. You can find so many interesting spots like the fortress walls, living pavilions, some ruins, amazing underground tunnels and buildings (stables). It’s breathtaking. Also there is an indescribable view of the mountains and the valley. It costs just 5 euros per person. There are lots of events you may be interested in. Just check their website. One of the reason I will come back is that there is an underground water supply with 9 million litres of pure water. It’s a must to explore. You can take a self guided tour through the castle with a detailed enough map.
Kirill M — Google review
Incredible site — not too crowded, with truly impressive architecture. The place holds tremendous historical significance and plays a major role in shaping the town as it is today. If you get the chance, book a guided tour in advance; it offers fascinating insights and access to some of the more adventurous, normally closed-off areas.

Very interesting and grandeur! Just ... at this reception a young man greeted us and served us, friendly but no more, no additional informations, just minimum and just about correct. The young lady, I have no idea what she is paid for ... no greetings, no interest (except maybe for the young man, just tjs horrible wanting to be cool attitude and not too much work. This has killed a bit our pleasure in visiting and paying the entrance, which is - maybe the girl has not learned that - in the end part of her salary.

Gardens
Jardíns de Cap Roig is a serene botanical garden that encompasses a stone castle in a picturesque environment. Established in 1927 by Russian Colonel Nicolai Woevodsky and English aristocrat Dorothy Webster, the garden spans over 20 hectares and features more than 800 botanical species. It is renowned as one of the most remarkable gardens in the Mediterranean region.
One of the most beautiful Jardins (Gardens), with such a varied array of plant species from across the globe. We happened to come on a day that must have been quiet because the place was pretty much empty, bar maybe a couple of others who we saw maybe once or twice en route around the gardens. This meant it was incredibly peaceful - like we had the place to ourselves. We easily spent hours here, admiring the scenery, the beautiful views of the coastline and just taking our time meandering. - The gardens were clean and well cared for - Access was easy, and directions clear We would without doubt recommend this to anyone visiting the area to enjoy as a day out, we most definitely shall be returning when back. We also are aware that Cap Roig hosts concerts and events at its venue which is exceptionally intriguing, so perchance check out what’s on before booking your trip

So stunning. We visited in late October. (We took a taxi from Palamos and hiked the Camí de Ronda back. I highly recommend that.) There was still plenty of colour in the gardens but the weather was ever so pleasant, and there were fewer visitors than high season. We were impressed at how well maintained the entire gardens were.

If you like plants and flowers and you want to enjoy a impressive view from the coast cliffs into turkies water with a lot of boats crossing - that's the place to go. Very clean and well maintained. Good infrastructure with clean toilets and a lot of separate benches to rest. A few paths are quite steep but doable and well developed. You can buy water and other drinks from a vending machine outside. There is nothing to buy in the park itself. If you like to take some impressive photos, here you go 😉👍.

Nestled along the stunning coastline of Palamos, Hostal La Fosca is a delightful beachfront retreat that perfectly captures the essence of Mediterranean charm. Just a stone's throw from La Fosca Beach, this informal hotel offers modern accommodations designed for relaxation and comfort. Guests can indulge in delicious meals at the on-site restaurant or grab a quick snack at the cozy café.
La Fosca is one of the most beautiful beaches in the area of Palamós which should be visited outside of peak tourism season. Lovely all year around and staying at a fair price in that Hostal will make you happy as it did to me.

We only had lunch here. We were happy to get a spot without a reservation during a busy lunch. The service was quite hectic, with waiters running around and quite long waiting times without much communication. The view was really great but with 2 hungry kids quite a challenge. In the end they moved fast on the starters and the food for the kids. The pan con tomate and fried squid were fine, and the kids meals were too. The paella was not. It basically only tasted like salt. The house white wine was nice but all in all the price was high for a not so great lunch in terms of the paella and service. The hectique and general lack of friendliness really are a miss, while other things were really fine the main course should not be disappointing like this. I could not tell the staff this as they did not ask once how it was.

I did not stay at the hostel. I only visited the restaurant to have lunch in October on a sunny day. My dad and I sat outside on the sand and ordered Fideua of Prawns. The service was fast, and polite. Overall amusing. We sat outside on the sand and there were just too many flies swarming around us. They stood on our food, faces and legs and made the experience somewhat uncomfortable. I’d appreciate if the restaurant did something to mitigate since we saw it was annoying for other customers as well

A beautiful hotel right next to the sea. You fall asleep with the sound of the sea. The food is amazing with produce from the farm and all of it is ecological.

Gorges de la Fou is a family-friendly destination where visitors can enjoy a small excursion with provided hard hats for safety. The canyon offers a cool and refreshing experience, so bringing a jacket is advisable. It's an opportunity to test your stamina while walking through nature and admiring the marked fauna with descriptions. Additionally, there are cafes and restaurants at the entrance/exit for refreshments.
A place where you can accidentally get wet. Also be careful with your power, as it is a good test of stamina. Great place for a walk “through” the nature, amazing view. Nice detail is that all types of fauna are marked and given a small description. There are also some cafes and restaurants just on the entrance/exit, so you can restore some energy if you wish. Good place to enjoy the nature with friends or family in a pleasant way.

No difficulty the path is in great condition the footbridges also no time limit you go at your own pace . We really enjoyed doing it. (Original) Promenade faite dans ces gorges en 2015 Très bon souvenir, niveau sécurité , à aucun moment nous ne nous sommes sentis en danger ,équipé en plus de casques que demander de plus.(étaient fournis à l'accueil) Très beau parcours (c'est un aller-retour pas une boucle)au fil de l'eau avec de beaux paysages en pleine nature.Pas de difficulté le chemin est en super état les passerelles également pas de temps imposé vous allez à votre rythme. Nous avons vraiment apprécié à faire.

(Translated by Google) I called last week and got confirmation that it was permanently closed due to landslides. It's a shame no one is funding its restoration because it must have been magnificent. I'm only giving it one star to say I'm disappointed to see it remain abandoned. (Original) J'ai appelé la semaine dernière et j'ai eu confirmation qu'il était définitivement fermé suite à des éboulements. Il est dommage que personne ne finance sa réhabilitation car cela devait être magnifique. Je mets une étoile seulement pour dire que je suis déçu de voir que cela reste à l'abandon.

Besalú Bridge

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
This Romanesque bridge with arches & defense towers dates back to the Middle Ages.
This medieval bridge is very beautiful and really cool to walk on. There is a lot of information along the bridge that tells about its history as well as the history of the surrounding town. It is free to access and has a lot of shopping and dining nearby. There is also parking close by that is very cheap. This is a wonderful stop for families, solo travelers and couples of all ages.

It's a very picturesque Romanesque bridge. Free to cross and nicely lit up at night. The town of Besalú is nice and it is worth staying overnight if you can.

Pont de Besalú is the iconic bridge connecting historic Besalú to the rest of Cataluña. The history of the bridge’s origins are somewhat unknown - however documentation of the bridge is known to exist from early in the 11th century. Defensive towers were added to it later and yet to this day it welcomes visitors from around the world to and dazzles them as the visitors enter historic Besalú.

A visit to pretty Besalu is a must. It's very picturesque, great bridge and a beautiful church. Wish I'd had time to spend longer there.

We took a day trip by train from Barcelona to Girona, and it was absolutely worth it. There’s an audio tour available for the interior of the church, while exploring the outside grounds is free. Not only did we get to see filming locations from Game of Thrones, but we also enjoyed wandering the property and taking in the spectacular views.

Girona wall is unmissable even f you are going on a day trip. It’s easy to walk & you must walk it if you visit the old town . During my 2 weeks stay I climbed it several times from 3 different routs , south & notrth . It goes through old town and offers get b’views of cities and observation points. You will love the detailing of wall with its lovely little windows or red stone or steps and small squares to wait and enjoy views. You can climb at some places the small metal circular staircases to have higher views of the city or skip it altogether and continue walking . It is bit narrow but 2 ppl can easily pass at a time. The height of wall is well maintained without any risk of falling or slipping . O realm feet pleasant experience and short hike at a historic place, definitely a must to do . It’s free completely.

We stopped in Girona just for a day on our way back from Morocco, and walking along the Muralles was one of the highlights. The views over the city and nearby hills are stunning, and the historical atmosphere is really strong here. It happened to be during the flower festival, which made everything feel extra magical. It's a beautiful mix of nature, history, and peaceful city vibes. Would definitely come back to explore more. 📌 Interesting fact: The Girona city walls (Muralles de Girona) date back to Roman times and were expanded during the medieval period. Today, you can walk long stretches of the restored walls for free and enjoy panoramic views of the historic center and the surrounding area.

Girona Cathedral

Mentioned on 
+119 other lists 
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Girona Cathedral, a Roman Catholic church in Girona, is a popular tourist attraction known for its Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. The cathedral features a record-breaking 22-meter-wide Gothic nave. Visitors can enjoy the scenic views of the cathedral from Cafe l'Arc on Placa de la Catedrale. The old town also offers attractions such as the Cloister and the Tower of Charlemagne, dating back to the 13th century.
800 years in the making, and well worth a visit. At only €7.50 for the Cathedral and the Basilica down the road, it very fairly priced. There is an audio tour which is detailed and insightful, and provides good context to the building. Overall, it’s a highly impressive, historic must visit in Girona! Don’t forget to walk around the beautiful gardens just to the north.
Austen U — Google review
Don’t walk run to this iconic Cathedral. The steps are wonderful to sit and people watch and soak in the Game of Thrones feeling. Inside is grand. The cloisters in the garden are lovely to sit and cool off. I bought the 3 in 1 ticket so no need to line up… go to the tourism office in Girona first. They are so helpful. Quite wonderful.

Lovely cathedral and nice to see where they filmed some of the game of thrones. The walk on the wall surrounding it is quite something and worth doing. If you more in depth information it's probably worth going on a small guided tour.
Neil C — Google review
Visiting Girona Cathedral was one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to Spain. Climbing the steep steps to see its stunning Gothic façade and elegant Baroque details, I knew it was going to be unforgettable. Inside, the cathedral’s nave—the widest Gothic nave in the world—left me completely in awe. The way light streamed through the stained-glass windows and highlighted the intricate stonework made me feel like I was walking through centuries of history. What fascinated me even more were the stories hidden within these walls. The cathedral has witnessed pivotal moments in history, from the medieval struggles during the Reconquista to its role as a religious and political center in Catalonia. I was intrigued to learn that it was originally built on the site of an earlier Romanesque church, and its construction spanned several centuries, reflecting the changing styles and influences over time. Beautiful cloisters, which date back to the 11th century, have seen everything from daily monastic life to historical ceremonies that shaped the region. Inside, there is so much to see. The main altar, with its stunning Gothic retablo, is breathtaking, and the Treasury houses priceless religious artifacts, including chalices, reliquaries, and medieval manuscripts. The Museu d’Art Sacre attached to the cathedral showcases beautiful liturgical garments and intricate paintings. I was also captivated by the fantastic rose window at the entrance and the Baroque pulpit, which is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. Legend adds an extra layer of magic to the cathedral. They say that on quiet nights, the ghostly figure of a white-clad woman—known as the “White Lady of Girona”—wanders the cloisters, mourning a lost love. Locals claim she was a noblewoman whose secret romance ended tragically, and her spirit now lingers, protecting the cathedral and its treasures. This add a pinch of mystery to the history of this magnificent church. Climbing the tower gave me a breathtaking view of Girona’s old town, the Onyar River, and the surrounding hills—it really makes you appreciate how this cathedral has stood as a guardian over the city for centuries.For anyone visiting Girona, the cathedral is not just a sight to see—it’s a journey through time, mystery, and culture. Entrance cost €7.50 and its well worth it.
Przemyslaw K — Google review

A must visit if in Girona especially if you are a game of thrones fan. Jaime rode his horse partially up the stairs which is very impressive. Word is it took 2 weeks to train the horse. Inside is a small museum and amazing architecture for your entry fee. Views from top of stairs are really cool.
Steven S — Google review
I had a fairly negative experience when visiting this cathedral which was a shame. I was approached by some men on the street and shouted at, which took away from the natural beauty and atmosphere of the cathedral, i was warned by locals not to be in the area by myself and they walked me back to the centre of Girona. I think if you are in a group or with a friend it is definitely worth a visit, I was just unlucky, and maybe be a bit more alert if you are a solo female traveller too!

I visited this Museo on 18/12/22. Weeks later I find myself still reflecting on it. I’ve been to similar museums but ultimately I found this one rather exceptional. It has great information and translations are in Castellano, Catalán, and English. I would allow for 45min to 1.5 hr for the visit. Additionally the very sweet and kind lady work the desk first thing in morning was delightful and professional. Make this a stop if your in Griona.

This was one of the museums I definitely wanted to visit while being in Girona. Extremely interesting, very well located and have 2 exhibitions: one temporary (which is free) and the permanent (2-4 euros/person). The temporary is not available in English, only the handbook, but the permanent can be followed in English. Walking through history, with the amazing audio guide I understood more about Jewish people and their culture and past. 10/10 recommend!

Ponte de les Peixateries Velles was built from 1876 to 1877 by the company responsible for constructing the Eiffel Tower in Paris. This pedestrian only bridge is very popular amongst tourists as it connects the historic old part of the city to the new part. It’s bright red painted steel is an eye catcher though the diamond shapes created by crisscrossing the steel beams is also something to marvel at. Definitely recommend

An avant garde bridge in Girona, Spain that is designed by one famous Gustave Eiffel in 1877. It is a deep red color that is eye-catching and terrific for social share. The bridge is less than nine feet wide, and its length across the Onyar River is about 136 feet. Good view of the river and the buildings along it from the bridge

Great viewing point in Girona separating the city into two halves. You see beautiful colourful house on the banks of Onyar river. There are many local food shops around. This has to be included in your Girona itinerary. It can be crowded most of the time but worth to visit. In the evening this place becomes very happening.

What a picturesque place to be . Very easy uphill hike . Well marked . Amazing views of Mediterranean Sea on your left and beautiful beach line and town on the other , you just can’t miss this lovely hike. Carry some water , hat and also a light jacket . We went around 17.30 and it was a nice sunny day of 15th May 2025 . Yet the wind on the top was so gusty that I had to put in my hoodie to keep myself warm . The weather was pleasant but wind will sweep you off your feet. You see great views from top and also cute village lanes to walk at some points. You will come across beautiful statues and also the light house. The lighthouse opens in stipulated timings . We could not enter but see from outside . Views from that point are extra ordinary. Spring brought several wild flowers blooming and made the views and rocks look more beautiful

Tossa De Mar is a classy town, and if you go, amble through the streets and then ascend by the steps in town or by the beach. The climb is steady, and there are stunning views all round. The lighthouse at the top is well worth the extra steps with the stunning vista at the top is unforgettable.

Platja de Lloret de Mar is a beautiful and popular beach with a large bay. The sandy shore can be busy, and the water has surprisingly large waves that deepen quickly. There's a steep drop-off from the beach to the sea, making it less suitable for small children. However, there are calmer areas near Castel d'en Plaja and in the evenings.
Very nice sandy beach. Its quite deep but overall very clean. You can bring your own umbrella for a beach day and also you can go for a walk in the afternoon. Id recommend.

Nice beach looks like sand but is made up of small little rocks. Be careful with children. The sea becomes deep after a few meters, and waves are strong. Don't hire the rip-off sunloungers there €8 each plus €8 for umbrella! Bring a towel/blanket instead. Beach gets very busy on sunny days. There are some free public toilets, but be ready to see some dirty supprises in them like I did! 🤮

Great Beach This is beach is quite narrow compared to other beaches in Spain but it is very long. This is also packed in summer almost unbearable, but in winter (and the off season) is amazing and really nice. It has all the amenities you could expect and is super close to lots of bars and restaurants.

Beautiful beach! Lots of cute fishies to see under the water. The water is nice and very clear, but in some areas it’s a bit murky and polluted. Every morning (very early) a huge machine goes around the beach to clean everything. Every now and then I spotted a jellyfish, but no dangerous ones. Beware! There are currently no showers at the beach, if you want to clean yourself, you can bring a cup and some water from the tab near the toilets. The beach is made out of small rocks, which is fine, but it can get quite hot in the sun. (Ps. Using wedge heels or shoes with thick soles is great to avoid the rocks) near the beach there are small kiosk shaped buildings who sell great slush or ice cream. The beach is quite busy, near the castle it’s a bit more calm. On the completely other side there is a spot with very low water (last video), which is great for kids!

Beach is very gravelly so I'd suggest water shoes as it does hurt your feet after a while. The beach itself does get crowded which shows how good it is, with very clear water. The left and centre of the beach are the best spots with facilities and a few rocks to climb on. The right side is steep and about a 45 degree slope. All in all I'd says its a really good beach and the gravel is the only thing to let it down. Bit of a steep slope to actually get into the water so if yiu struggle walking make sure you have someone with you as it can be difficult.

The sand isNOT sand at all but rather very tiny (some sharp and rough) little stones!!! You will need - rubber soles slip ons just to walk the beach as it's so uncomfortable on your poor feet BUT THEN!! When you do manage to get to the shoreline THE WAVES ARE SO POWERFUL - GOOD LUCK GETTING IN THE SEA - YOU'LL NEED TO BE A STRONG SWIMMER - SO BE WARNED - IT PUSHES YOU OFF BALANCE - THEN DRAGS YOU OUT !!!!! The beach is so steep and very swampy and loose under foot it is NOT a good fun day at the beach but rather a bloody workout trying to get in the sea. The massive rocks just in the shallows are really helpful and you'll be so grateful for breaking your toes and banging your feet and knees - 0/10 Never again. Holiday basically ruined as the beach should be such a huge part of the experience but not on this occasion and all of this ON OUR FIRST BLOODY DAY.

very nice but 7am in the morning you recognize the main objective of this small spot, party party fiesta 🤣 full of the leftovers from last nigt, outside the beach you smell urine allover. But it is beautiful, just the sand isn’t that fine as I am used to it. deserves almost five points as per beauty and view.

Fageda d'en Jordà

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
National forest
Nature & Parks
Fageda d'en Jordà is a magical beech forest with 20-meter-tall trees, thriving on the fertile lava from Croscat volcano in a national park. This mystical and quiet place, surrounded by volcanoes, has been immortalized by poets and is perfect for leisurely exploration on foot, bike, or horseback. The forest is particularly enchanting in autumn when the leaves turn red and golden.
A magical place! The beech forest, with its unique trees and peaceful atmosphere, creates an almost otherworldly view. Walking through it, surrounded by nature.

Not really free since you have to pay for parking. Great activities available here include: - Paying for parking - Not using the out of service toilets - Stepping on dog poo - Contributing to ruin one of Catalonia’s most precious natural sights - Not being able to visit for free cause nature is expensive

Stunning walk in a beautiful forest. It is very easy in term of effort and with the mixture of volcanic craters, it’s definitely an experience you don’t want to miss.

Delightful. We'll maintained paths, clearly signposted. Cool and refreshing from the sun. Weekend late lunchtime gets busier. Carpark very accessible, pay with credit card only.

I read somewhere that it is possible to reach the forrest walking from Olot and I did that. I would rather not do it again 😅 it's a really long way! You may either choose some forrest paths (but then expect a lot of insects and some confusion) or walk aside the main road (but then the pavement is there only half of the way, for the rest of time you must watch your step). The forrest itself is nice and soothing. Also, you can refill your water bottle in the toilet by the parking (the place looks like out of order, but it's actually functioning).

Magical autumn experience in a beautiful part of the world. Try the circuit from la Fageda through the forests to the Santa Maria chapel in the first volcano then on to the second, Cosco, before heading back to the car. Takes about 4 hours with a break, best done early-mid November to experience all the colours of autumn in Olot!

Beautiful place to visit. Best time of the year is autumn when you can enjoy colorfully the trees. You can either walk or rent a pony ride.
Marta S — Google review
Absolutely beautiful forest to get lost. This magical place is even prettier in autumn when the leaves fall and the color of the ground fades to red and golden. It’s free to visit and you can even start some hiking trails from there (the whole place is located in a volcanic parks area). Make sure not to support the guys with the pony rides since it’s animal abuse. Apart from that, don’t miss the chance to explore this place.

Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Illa Fantasia is a water park located just 30 minutes away from Barcelona, offering a variety of attractions suitable for all ages. It features a wave pool, water games, rapids, and a pirate-themed maze. Visiting early in the morning on weekdays is recommended to beat the heat and crowds. The friendly staff make an effort to communicate in English. However, some caution is advised due to steep walkways and the need for foot protection on certain slides.
What an amazing day out with family. Many tables are available under the trees shadow for you to relax and eat peacefully. I saw many barbecue spaces and you can also buy charcoal and rent the grill for your own barbecue. Swimming pools and rides were fun and at the end you can buy your return ticket for 10€. Go for it.

Best Aqua Park around Barcelona! My experience was the best ever! I recommend this for everyone! You will find here a lot of barbecue where you can cook your own meat 🥩 My advise is to go there at opening, because they will close at 18:00. This is the only bad thing that I can say about this place!

Convenient water park, not that busy where we visited in a weekdays.
Ali A — Google review
We visited at the beginning of August and had a great time. 2 adults and 2 kids - one 110cm and the other 130cm in height. There were lots of slides they could both go on. There weren't many long queues for the slides. The kids only slides were great for the children and the pirate ship slides were awesome too! We liked that there were lots of areas with slides so you could move around and try out different ones. Some were repeated, like the racers but we loved that because we could move around the park if one area got busy. The picnic area says 1euro but no one ever asked us to pay. Apparently it's new this year. I would personally scrap it. The lockers could be free but we liked the system and if you forget your pin, the machine will send it to the phone number you put in at the start. Very clever. We thought 3euros for whole day car parking was very affordable. A suggestion for change would be for the slides that use the inflatable rings: whilst most people were passing their ring on after sliding down some people were ignoring those waiting in the queue for a ring and walking past to have another turn. There needs to be a way that the rings are separated from the people who have just slid so that they can't keep hold of their ring. Would recommend and revisit when we're in the area again.
Keri P — Google review
There were way too many people, even though it was a weekday. Long lines for the slides sometimes 40 minutes to an hour. You also have to pay extra for a locker (6€/9€), and parking is not included either. We expected more inflatable attractions for the slides, but they didn’t have enough available. On the positive side, there were a few slides for people over 60kg where the line wasn’t as long. However, the floor was extremely slippery .I almost fell three times. The staff at the entrance do warn you that it’s crowded, but it seems like they don’t actually limit the number of people inside. If it weren’t so overcrowded, the place would be amazing.
Valeria P — Google review
We visited the water park mid-week in August, and had a brilliant time. Queues were very short, plenty of shaded picnic tables, the rides and pools were all great. Good value of money on the entrance fee, and food, drink and parking were all reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Medieval cliffside abbey with a grotto chapel, waterfalls & caves with stalactites & lakes.
What a view! What a hike! The landscape is so beautiful. The walk to the monastery is a bit dangerous. Amazing though! Don't litter! Don't bring dogs, and be calm and nice. Great place.

I was absolutely thrilled by Sant Miquel del Fai—it’s truly a magical hidden gem! Nestled about 50 km from Barcelona in the cliffs of the Cingles de Bertí, this former 11th‑century Benedictine monastery seems to hang dramatically off the rocky canyon walls, complemented by caves, waterfalls, and meandering streams. Here are some fascinating details that impressed me: *Troglodyte chapel: The church is built directly inside a cave—the largest rock‑roofed church in Spain—with a Romanesque doorway from the 10th century. *Striking architecture: Opposite the chapel is the Prior’s 15th‑century Gothic house, and nearby stands the tiny 10th‑century hermitage of Sant Martí. *Stalactites & sub‑terranean lake: Nearby caves formed by limestone feature stalactites, stalagmites, and even a small underground pool. *Waterfall experience: A spectacular waterfall of the Tenes River dramatically cascades over 100 metres, and there’s even a path that takes you behind the cascade for an up‑close, refreshing view. *Rich history: Founded around 1006 by Gombau de Besora, it was a small monastic community of 5–6 monks; it became a sanctuary in 1567, ceased religious functions in 1936, and is now a protected cultural site. During my visit, the blend of rugged nature and medieval architecture blew me away. Walking through the Plaça de l’Abadia, with its natural pools from rain and snowmelt, felt almost otherworldly. Paths lead through caves, past the waterfall, and to the little chapel, all set in a tranquil forest valley—perfect for exploring and taking photos. If you love nature, history, or just want spectacular views, Sant Miquel del Fai is a must-see. I was absolutely mesmerized, and I can’t wait to go back!

Basílica de la Sagrada Família

Mentioned on 
+342 other lists 
Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
The Basílica de la Sagrada Família, located in the Example district of Barcelona, is a renowned unfinished church designed by Antoni Gaudí. Construction began in 1882 and has continued for over a century after Gaudí's death. The basilica features impressive facades representing the glory, the Birth, and the Passion of Jesus. It boasts 8 imposing towers with panoramic city views from elevators on each facade.
The Sagrada Familia is truly a masterpiece. It's a unique and must-see structure. Construction is still underway, and it's expected to be completed around 2026. New details are being added every day, and I'm amazed every time I see this monument. We paid 26 euros per person to enter. It costs 26 euros for those under 30, and 30 euros for those 30 and over. I recommend purchasing tickets from the Sagrada Familia official website before arriving. There are some scam sites, so you should choose the official website. There's a long line to buy tickets, but if you have your tickets online, simply scan the QR code when the time comes to enter. Also, a little tip: the souvenir shops right in front are expensive; if you go downstairs, you can buy some beautiful magnets for 1 euro. The entrance is accessible for disabled individuals and strollers. The tour takes almost an hour and a half..
Emrah — Google review
Visiting the Sagrada Família was honestly one of the highlights of my trip. You see photos everywhere, but nothing compares to standing in front of it and realizing how enormous and detailed it really is. Designed by Antoni Gaudí, construction started in 1882 and it’s still not finished but it's coming to an end. There’s something amazing about seeing a building that’s been growing for more than a century and continues to evolve with each generation continuing Gaudi's vision. Every part of it tells a story: the Nativity Façade is full of life and nature, while the Passion Façade is dramatic and emotional. Inside, the light through the stained-glass windows looks magical — it changes color throughout the day and fills the space with warmth, peace and wonderful colours. Even with all the crowds, the atmosphere is calm and awe-inspiring. It really feels like a place where art, faith, and nature come together. It's one of the most beautiful landmarks on the world. Book tickets online in advance and go early in the morning if you want to avoid long lines. And if you can, climb one of the towers — the view over Barcelona is unforgettable.
Przemyslaw K — Google review
The Basilica de la Sagrada Família in Barcelona is one of the most extraordinary architectural masterpieces in the world. Designed by Antoni Gaudí, it perfectly combines faith, art, and innovation. The intricate details of the façade, inspired by nature and biblical stories, are breathtaking, while the interior feels almost otherworldly, filled with colorful light streaming through the stained-glass windows. The atmosphere inside is both peaceful and awe-inspiring. Although the basilica is still under construction, this adds a unique charm, witnessing a living piece of history being completed. Visiting the Sagrada Família is an unforgettable experience and an absolute must-see in Barcelona.

The Sagrada Familia is incredible. We did a guided tour which was great for a couple reasons. One, we got to walk pass the line with our guide which saved us time. Also, our guide was able to give us so many details about the structure we wouldn't have noticed otherwise. We went during the Golden Hour, which is when the sun is setting and the light shines through the stain glass, creating a Golden light. The details in the structure from the outside to the inside is spectacular. Highly recommend getting tickets way in advance so you don't miss out on the Sagrada Familia.
Megan B — Google review
We had a guided tour. We don't normally do this but in this case it was necessary. The guide was informative amusing and personable. As for the Sagrada Familia itself, quite simply WOW! It was everything we had been told and so much more. The explanations of Gaudi's reasoning for the various aspects of the design brought the whole building into focus. It is truly an experience. The company we used was The Tour Guy. If all their guides are as good as ours you cannot go wrong. It may seem costly but IMHO it's worth it.
Frank B — Google review
When in Barcelona, you have to visit the masterpiece of Gaudí. Book your tickets in advance and also get a guided tour. It will be a tour of around two hrs and your guide will explain about each and everything. This place is not just a church it’s a masterpiece of human kind. This place is an experience that you must do. I will recommend to visit either early in morning at the time of sunrise or in evening around 4pm at sunset. You will experience the place at its best and you will able to see the importance of time and light in the church. It’s the best architecture i have ever seen. Must book your tickets at-least 20 days in advance and also choose the tower access for the best views in city.
Raghav G — Google review
The Basilica of the Sagrada Família is truly one of the most awe-inspiring sites in the world and ​s​hould be on your must-see ​ list in Barcelona. No photos can capture the feeling of standing inside and seeing the light pour through the stained-glass windows—it’s breathtaking. The blend of color, geometry, and symbolism in Gaudí’s design is unlike anything else. Every column and carving feels purposeful, telling a story that connects nature, faith, and art. We booked ​a​ guided tour in advance, which made entry smooth and stress-free. ​The tours have a dedicated line making clearing security and entering the Basilica easy and highly recommended ​for the information provided by the guides making the experience more memorable​. Allow at least ​60-90 minutes to fully take it in, and don’t rush. Whether you’re religious or not, this is a place that inspires reflection and wonder.​ You are welcome to sit and reflect in one of the pews or simply rest your feet. You can buy tickets to view Barcelona from the top or visit the basement for more history and the gift shop. Unlike any church or basilica you will see.

Magnificent structure! I have visited Barcelona three times, and during my second visit, I had the chance to explore the interior as well. Both the inside and outside are truly unique. It’s an amazing experience to examine the figures on the exterior one by one. The ticket includes an audio guide, and by downloading the Sagrada Familia app to your phone, you can access a step-by-step audio guide that explains both the exterior and interior of the building. By the way, I recommend purchasing your ticket a week or two before your trip.

Park Güell is a must-visit destination in Barcelona, showcasing the genius of architect Antoni Gaudi. This verdant park features mosaic-covered buildings, grand staircases, and sculptures that are truly captivating. The park offers panoramic views of Barcelona and the Mediterranean Sea. One of its most famous attractions is the colorful mosaic salamander, a popular spot for visitors to take selfies.
Park Güell is truly one of the highlights of Barcelona and an absolute must-see! The moment you enter, you’re surrounded by Gaudí’s magical designs colorful mosaics, flowing shapes, playful architecture, and spaces that feel like they belong in a fairytale. The panoramic views of the city and the sea are breathtaking and perfect for photos. It’s a place where nature, creativity, and architecture blend beautifully. The park is large enough to wander, relax, and enjoy the scenery at your own pace, yet every corner has something unique to admire. The Monumental Zone, mosaic benches, and the famous lizard sculpture are definite standouts. The atmosphere is peaceful, inspiring, and full of charm. Tickets are timed, so booking ahead is smart and you should be there as early as you can, because it gets crowded quickly and the morning light makes everything even more beautiful. Comfortable shoes are also helpful due to hills and walking paths. Overall, Park Güell is a wonderful experience vibrant, artistic, and unforgettable. If you’re visiting Barcelona, don’t miss it!

The buildings are great, but you can see them from the street, from the main entrance, so it's not worth buying a ticket. It's true that the park has other beautiful places than the well known Gaudi's buildings, but we wanted to visit it for this only reason and we left disappointed
Larisa U — Google review
If Gaudi knew his masterpieces would be turned into a tourist trap THIRSTING for money, he would be disgusted. I bought the tickets. Had an accident, couldn't attend exactly at the time that I had scheduled the tickets. They couldn't do anything. Not even get me a discount. Come on, do better. Ok, bought new tickets. The park is interesting, Gaudi never misses. Is it worth it paying 18 euros? Of course not. Stand outside the gates and you will see 95% of everything worth seeing. The workers are unprepared. There are so many nice things to see in Barcelona, if you don't have a lot of time, don't bother coming here.

Nice place to go for a walk, because in the city there is not much of a green areas around. But be aware that there is a lot of stairs in the park. So if you are coming with a stroller, that could be a challenge for you. Also be ready for a lot of people. It was difficult to find a quiet spot around the park. You can see nice architecture and if you are lucky you can find a spot on the sun and just relax for a bit.

Overall 2.7/10 honestly VERY overwhelming with a lot of people talking to you at the same time to buy exactly the same thing at the same price everywhere. Most of the stands don’t have places to seat (there’s little to no space inside the market) and there’s basically no place to sit around it so we had to walk hungry until we found benches to sit and eat. The fried burritos were VERY very doughy and this other pastry with chicken and potatoes inside tasted “old” so honestly the only thing I’d recommend buying there would be the juices. 2,50€ p/ cup (or 5 for a bottle), they have a LOT of options and (at least) the mango/ strawberry & mango are actually incredibly delicious and taste fresh so 10/10 for the drinks!

There’s everything you can think of from seafood, meats, spices, and all kinds of local treats, every stand offers something unique and delicious. I would highly recommend visiting the market during your Barcelona visit!

An interesting market with ready made seafood, tacos, tapas, paella, juices, fresh fruits, nuts and dried fruits. Also have raw meats and beef. Many people are trying food and drinks enjoying the products. Most of the nuts and dried fruits stalls offer samples when you walked by. Despite the vibrant color and varieties, we are skeptical to try. Juices and dried fruits color are so vibrant suggesting food colouring might be used. Given the summer temperature the cooked food are all pre-packed and placed in room temperature counter, not really feel very hygienic for bacterial growth. Worth a visit however we did not buy anything from there.

Casa Batlló

Mentioned on

Historical landmark
Museums
Casa Batlló, a museum in Barcelona, is an extraordinary apartment block designed by architect Antoni Gaudi. The building's facade is adorned with shards of stained glass that create a mesmerizing effect, resembling the ever-changing colors of a lake. Commissioned by textile industrialist Josep Batllo, Gaudi was tasked with creating a unique home that paid homage to Catalonian patron saint Jordi.
A mesmerizing masterpiece! The façade is stunning, but the interior experience is what truly brings Gaudí’s imagination to life. The audio guide is engaging, the colors and curves feel otherworldly, and the rooftop is unforgettable. Even if you’ve seen photos before, nothing compares to seeing it in person. A must-visit in Barcelona!

Well-made audio guide and efficient organization at the entrance. The house is wonderful, allowing you to fully discover Gaudí’s art. The ticket is a bit expensive (€36 for the Silver route). By choosing the Silver ticket, you also get access to the terrace with its colorful chimneys. Overall, a positive visiting experience.

I went there twice already, once by day and the other time by night and the magic just never ends. Gaudi must have had a lot of fun designing this mysterious world into a house and it amazes me how he managed to make it possible. By night, the windows and sea life details create this enchanting atmosphere throughout the visit. I cannot recommend this architectural gem enough!!

From the moment you arrive, the building’s facade grabs your attention – a surreal mix of bone-like balconies, mosaic tiles, and a dragon-scale roof that looks like it belongs in a fairytale. Inside, the experience becomes even more immersive. The flowing lines, natural light wells, and attention to detail in every corner show Gaudí’s genius not just as an architect, but as an artist deeply connected to nature. The audio-guided tour is excellent, enhanced with augmented reality features that help you imagine what the rooms would have looked like when the Batlló family lived there. Don’t miss the rooftop terrace – it offers beautiful views of the city and features the famous dragon-back design that symbolizes the legend of Saint George. Tips: Book your tickets in advance – it can get crowded, especially in high season. Go for the “Be the First” or “Magic Nights” experience if you're looking for a more intimate or romantic visit. Take your time. Every room and hallway hides some small detail you’ll regret rushing past. Whether you're an architecture lover, an art enthusiast, or simply curious, Casa Batlló is a must-see. It’s not just a building – it’s an experience.

Casa Batlló absolutely blew me away — it feels like stepping into a living, breathing piece of art. Gaudí’s imagination is on full display, from the flowing, nature-inspired interiors to the colorful mosaic façade that changes with the light. The rooftop, shaped like a dragon’s spine, is just unforgettable. It’s one of those places where every detail surprises you — truly magical.
Amel P — Google review
This house cannot be properly understood without going in. During the night I find it even more magical as you can really see how light plays a most important part in it's architecture. I was awed and actually didn't even want to go at first, but all the details took my breath away. The style is different inside and outside, so even if you're not a fan of Gaudi, give yourself a chance to go in. It is 100% worth it. And there's 100% accessibility! Elevators on request but to all floors.

Visiting Casa Batlló was one of the highlights of my trip to Barcelona. Here you can see Gaudí’s creativity up close- the flowing shapes, colorful mosaics, his vision and talent in every detail. The house was redesigned by Antoni Gaudí in the early 1900s for the Batlló family and is a perfect example of Catalan modernism. Every detail — from the wavy staircases to the vibrant tiles — is inspired by nature. The rooftop, shaped like a dragon’s back, offers great views over Passeig de Gràcia. I booked tickets online (around €30–€35) and still waited about 20–30 minutes to get in, so I’d definitely recommend buying skip-the-line tickets or going early in the morning. Inside, the audio guide is fantastic and really helps you understand Gaudí’s vision and his use of light and ventilation in every room. It’s busy, but completely worth it. I am not big fan of this type of art or architecture however it was an unforgettable experience.

Casa Batlló is a true testament to Antoni Gaudí's genius and creativity, showcasing his ability to blend architecture with nature and art. Located in the heart of Barcelona, this modernist masterpiece stands out with its vibrant colors, organic shapes, and intricate details that draw visitors in from the moment they arrive. One of the most striking features of Casa Batlló is its façade, adorned with a mosaic of colorful tiles that resemble the scales of a dragon, a nod to the legend of Saint George. The undulating lines and whimsical shapes give the building a fluidity that feels alive, embodying Gaudí’s philosophy of design inspired by natural forms. The balconies, resembling masks, add a playful character to the exterior, inviting admiration from passersby. Inside, the experience only gets better. The open spaces and natural light create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Gaudí’s attention to detail is evident in the custom furniture, stained glass windows, and the unique layout that encourages movement and exploration. The central atrium, with its blue gradient tiles, mimics the colors of the sea and sky, further connecting the interior with the natural world. Visiting Casa Batlló is not just about observing architecture; it’s about experiencing a piece of art that tells a story. Gaudí’s innovative use of materials and structural techniques pushes the boundaries of conventional design, making Casa Batlló a must-see for anyone interested in architecture, art, or culture. It’s a celebration of creativity that continues to inspire and captivate all who enter.

Magic Fountain of Montjuïc

Fountain
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Magic Fountain of Montjuïc is a renowned circular fountain in Barcelona known for its scheduled shows of water and light choreographed to music. Located on the slopes of Montjuic hill, it is considered one of the city's symbols. In the evening, the fountain transforms into an enchanting display as water jets dance to melodies from composers like Bach, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky.
In my opinion THE place to be in Barcelona for the evenings/sunset. The view from the streets up the "Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya" is breathtaking. There are 3 stages of steps to reach the top, each with its own scenic views of the city. Reach top and then there is the spectacular view of the city. Stay top, enjoy the sunset with some good live music that's performed everyday. The fountain then starts in late evening, enjoy it from the top and then walk back down and enjoy close-up. Totally worthwhile!

We were fortunate to catch the Magic Fountain show on our last night in Barcelona (Thursday it also runs on Fridays and Saturdays). We arrived around 8:30 pm and found seats on the benches opposite the fountains. If you’d like one of the popular spots on the museum steps, I’d suggest getting there earlier, but our view was still great - even standing closer to the fountains worked well. The pre-show began around 8:45 pm, with the main show starting at 9 pm and lasting well over 30 minutes. It was much better than I expected, with lights and water dancing to popular soundtracks. There was a lovely family atmosphere all around. Totally recommend catching it if you’re in Barcelona on one of the show nights!

One of the most amazing spectacles in the world! A must see on any sight seeing agenda! It has just reopened, after 3 years of drought restrictions, and renovations, and it is now back with a bang! I saw it on Sunday night to mark the finale of Barcelona’s festivities, when over 110,000 people came to watch the show, snd what a wonder it was to behold! Over 3 hours of the fountain dancing to music and lit in beautiful colours, and then a 30 minute fire work display to top it all off! This was a truly magnificent sight, mesmerisingly beautiful and truly magic… will i be back… yes i will…😀

Walk to the very top in front of the art museum, fantastic view across the whole city ! , I think the fountains are only turned on on certain days as both times we visited they weren’t turned on, so worth checking, it’s best to visit this area at dusk to late evening to get a great view, it’s not too steep to climb to top for the best view as there’s outdoor escalators most of the way up ! Although some of them weren’t working

Finnaly is this Fountain working. Shows every fryday and saturday from 21h (on October) and from 20h from November- December 2025. Beautiful show. Must see. I recommend to come 30 minutes or one hour after the start of the show, because many people leaves and this time and you have better view with less people.

What a nice way to end my vacation. That and some tapas as 10:30 at night. The palace was also incredible with amazing night time views. Can Barcelona get any better?? ❤️
Daphne — Google review
Why does it say temporarily closed... Is it open?? Risking it tonight at 9pm for the sound show, so will let everyone know. Update: It was on! And it's a MUST SEE!! Went on Friday night at 9pm to see the magic fountain come to life with an incredible display of lights jets and music. It ended at 10pm with a slight intermission at 9.30pm. Big crowds so get a spot up the front early.

Arenas & Stadiums
The Spotify Camp Nou is the iconic home ground of the renowned Barcelona football club. It was inaugurated in 1957 and is known for having the greatest capacity in Europe, making it one of the largest stadiums globally. The stadium offers regular matches as well as tours and a museum, attracting football enthusiasts from around the world. Visitors can explore the locker rooms, tunnels, and field on a tour, providing an immersive experience into the team's environment.
Unfortunately, the stadium is being renovated, so you cannot see the true value of this football stadium. However, aware of the value of the stadium, its tradition, the fact that it is one of the most beautiful and largest stadiums in the world, it receives 5 stars. I will definitely come back once the stadium is finished to enjoy its beauty, but also to watch the Barcelona game :)

Our accommodation was only a 15-minute walk from Camp Nou, so even though it wasn’t part of our original plan, we decided to visit. Unfortunately, our travel dates didn’t match any match days, but it was still worth walking around the stadium, and especially visiting the official Barça merchandise store. Some people say there’s no need to come all the way here because the Barça stores in central Barcelona are cheaper and easier to access. But I disagree. This place is HUGE. A three-story building with practically everything you could imagine. You can find classic replica kits like the 94–95 away jersey, as well as Nike Dri-FIT official sponsor versions. There’s a wide variety of caps, bags, and other accessories too. The staff were all very friendly. You can even see Messi’s autographed jersey and captain’s armband. If you want, you can buy the replicas, just for €2,999.99 and €1,999.99 respectively. There’s also a café and a nice rest area, so if you’re visiting Barcelona and a football fan, I highly recommend stopping by this legendary place. + You can find drinks with Barça packaging for more generous price at supermarkets in the city center.

When I went it was under construction so I didn't get the full experience. If you would like to go just make sure if these works are done or not yet. Actually the stadium is not that astonishing but if you are a Barcelona fan then obviously you'll get in love with 😅

Very nice experience. The interactive museum is well made, got to see many iconic items on display. Thought not very big still a nice tour especially if you like the FC Barcelona team. I highly recommend you book your tickets before arriving. Also, better to book an early time visit as the line and waiting time tend to get longer.

It was a good experience visiting the stadium and the museum, however since the stadium is under construction at the moment it wasn't possible to feel the right energy. Once everything is completed i believe that i will give it 5 stars!

I’ve seen some complaints, but honestly -the stadium’s under renovation, not a secret! What did you expect, a VIP tour of cranes and concrete? The real magic is the feeling of Barça itself , the history, trophies, jerseys, and spirit. The interactive legends show gave me chills, and Messi’s iconic celebration against Madrid next to his golden shoes nearly broke my heart . Paid under €100 for two tickets Worth every cent. Can’t wait for the reopening! Visca el Barça!

Nou Camp, is a stadium in Barcelona and the home of La Liga club FC Barcelona since its opening in 1957. It is currently undergoing renovation, and with a planned increased seating capacity of 105,000[10] it will be the largest stadium in terms of seating capacity in Spain and Europe, and the third largest association football stadium in the world.

Was under construction, but still amazing, the trophy museum is a must too. Couldn’t go inside the stadium but there’s a construction viewpoint where you can see it from the outside but closer up. If visiting the stadium itself, get tickets of course, but for the trophy museum, you can purchase when you reach.
