Reviews
I absolutely love these markets in Spain! Mercat de Sants is awesome! The assortment of fruits and vegetables, meats and fish, charcuterie varied and very fresh!
Precioso lugar dentro de la ciudad. Algo de paz entre barrios muy activos. Actualmente la fuente se encuentra apagada y sin agua por la sequía. Aún así el colorido de los árboles y la opción a sombra y disponibilidad de bancos, lo hace agradable. Mejoraría con más limpieza y civismo
A really lovely experience and definitely worth a visit. The view is amazing. A small number of rides were open. The main fairground is only open on certain days so you'd need to check before your visit. The toilets are worth a visit!! It probably gets busy during the summer season.
The mayor needs to release the water back.
It's one of the best parks ,my daughter loved it.
We spent hours there.
It's beautiful, definitely worth a visit.

A kool and nice park for family, a small park with complete greenery and flowers, also has a fountain. There is a play area for small kids. Overall a pleasant place for a stroll around the park and relax with family and friends for a chit chat. Not pet friendly.
Wow... what a wonderful visit. This is the #1 tourist attraction of Barcelona and should not be missed. We booked tickets on line and chose the Full Experience w tour guide and Mel, delivered added experiences that we may not have gotten on a solo visit. The elaborate design are so intricate and numerous that one cannot capture the complete details without an extended visit. A very exceptional experience that should not be missed. But be ready for the crowds.
Tibidabo has the absolute best view of the city! Take a train up to the top, look down, and enjoy the beautiful views! You can see the coast and the entire city of Barcelona. There is a beautiful church and fair for kids, as well.
It's a very very beautiful church and the work is of Antoni Gaudi who is a well known architect of his time in Spain. The church is still not completed and the construction is still going on. It's just on the street and on the front side there is a small park which gives a good view of its outside. You can buy tickets and see it from inside. It's very huge also and looks very beautiful.
As an architect, Sagrada was a dream come true to experience. I recommend booking tickets in advance to secure your spot according to your preferred time slot. Personally, I’d advise mid to late afternoon is, however during peak season it’ll constantly be busy.
I’d suggest sure to allocate around 3-4 hours to explore and soak in the sheer size, history and detailing of the structure - both internally and externally. Lastly, make sure to download the Sagrada app beforehand, to follow the audio guide as your explore on foot.

Last work of the genius and here you find all his magic view. The best view of course is the old side with the nativity. The rest seems to be tentative to follow the maestro. Inside is great especially if you can go very early before the mass is coming.
Quiet and reserved park. Could be better if there wasn’t drought . As most of the parks, it is not pet-friendly
I've been inside many beautiful churches and this is the prettiest I've been in. The stained glass windows show so much beautiful colorful light. The ceiling is very tall and the church is huge. In fact, it's not even a church. It's an entire basilica! An audio guide is recommended as it helps a lot.
A huge amusement park, with a lot of opportunities to have fun. We enjoyed the rollercoaster and the dodge'em the best, but all the other were great.
The sight from above is wonderful.

The moco museum is a great place to visit if you're in Barcelona, they have different kinds of artwork, I was positively surprised by the digital art work but also enjoyed the banksy art and the modern artwork they offer. Definitely recommended!
Fast-food exhibition with 15 minutes walk throughout for 15-19 euro per person. Overcrowded. The goods are expensive and cheap-quality in the store.
Has good local products and Mercadona. People in the local shops are nice.
Very informative on how chocolate became 😋. And beautiful artwork. We saved money with a package deal (museums & unlimited transportation for 72 hours)
Nice park, free entry, easy to walk around and can take some good photos!
Most beautiful church, and possibly the most beautiful place I have ever been. It really can't be described without seeing it. It's a true work of art. I highly recommend doing the towers while you're there. I also recommend buying tickets in advance. We had a lovely tour in English and Spanish, and it made it much more enjoyable understanding the history behind the conception and ongoing plans.
This was one of my favorite modern art museums of Barcelona. They had an amazing up-to-date, modern art, and I was surprised by the infinity room that they had during the visit. It was on the smaller side so I was able to see everything and under an hour.
Decided to visit the Moco Museum in Barcelona rather than the traditional Picasso or Dali. It was superb! Seeing the Banksy art and the words that go with it was amazing. The art was all very thought provoking including the American pieces showcased. Loved the diamond light room at the end with its sentiment. Very magical. Booked online prior to attending as tickets go fast! You will certainly enjoy the visit here.
It's a very interesting place where you can learn a lot about the history of chocolate! The staff is super nice and I definitely recommend it.
Tickets are around 4-6€ per person, but it's worth the money!

This is a monumental place steeped in history. The building's architecture is breathtaking and arguably one of the best in the world. Rich in history, you can feel its significance when you step inside. Make sure to bring headphones to listen to the audio recordings if you're visiting alone without a tour guide (as they can be expensive). Arrive early and book tickets in advance, and try to avoid weekends if possible. Restrooms are located outside along the side wall.
Vibrant exposition in the old town. Transports you from the gothic streets into modern art. Worth a visit, a lot of multimedia art. No wait to get in during March, but should reserve in advance in summer season.
A must see in Barcelona! Definitely purchase a guided tour well in advance to make sure you get in and to learn about the history. Because we had a scheduled tour at 9 am, we did not have to wait in a line to enter.
We did the optional tower tour, which I found well worth the cost and the time. The spiral staircase coming down is quite narrow and steep. I recommend putting any bag you may have in one of the lockers and having your hands free when you descend.
Allow 2 to 3 hours for the visit.
I can't begin to describe how beautiful the stained glass is and how inspiring the design and architecture are.
Go!

Without a doubt, this contemporary art museum is the best we have ever visited worldwide! Although the museum is smaller than we imagined, the curation of exhibitions and the collections of modern art, paintings, sculptures, installations, and digital arts exceeded our expectations. Every corner of the museum has art pieces we have only seen in magazines or catalogs, and everything in it made our trip unforgettable.
We love this little chocolate museum! The ticket is a chocolate bar, the cafe serves great coffee & delicious chocolates and the classes are wonderful & easy to follow even if you don’t speak Spanish!
lots of Egypt's exhibits, open minded to give you details of Egypt culture and how they are revealing them,
entry with Barcelona Card, but would say still worth buying ticket

Visited the Moco Museum in Barcelona after experiencing the one in Amsterdam, and found them to be quite similar in size, with the Barcelona one perhaps even slightly larger.
However, I was hoping to see a greater variety of artists unique to Barcelona, but instead encountered familiar names like Banksy, The Kid, and Warhol, similar to the Amsterdam collection. Nonetheless, the stunning space and captivating artworks made the visit worthwhile. Always a treat to immerse oneself in art, regardless of the location!

Lots of different options for good and fresh food, a bit busy in the mornings when everything is open. You also have a big Mercadona supermarket which is quite convenient. On top of that the place is quite beautiful.
Very good museum!! We had a lot of fun and it gives amazing pictures!! If you're still debating if you should go, just do it!! I really recommend it. And don't forget to visit the bar next to it, El Bosc de les Fades, incredible!!

If you ever visit Barcelona, please do not miss this magical place. You can see whole Barcelona from there, and the cathedral is just magical. You can easily reach this place as there is train and bus up which will take you just right to the place. Bring windproof jacket as it knows to be super windy.
Not bad to have a go if possess Barcelona Card which means it’s free to enter. If have to pay for the entry ticket, it’s another story =) the entrance is tricky, I walked 2 rounds that area to find the entrance…. turned out it’s hidden next to the shop.
I really enjoyed this hike. We began from Gracia…reached the top in one hour, view is worth it…don’t care about the church…many tourists but only saw the entrance, no chance I will pay money to go up or down…Sagrada is a different place and I will happily pay. But not here. One of the church employees farted loudly and the echo was heard to the heavens. Made my day better.
Not bad nothing special. Wax museum like always :)
An interesting small chocolate museum.
Nothing fascinating.
But it is nice in general, a short tour.
The ticket is a chocolate bar which is nice.
Ticket price is 6 Euros. And you get to eat the free bar.

First, you enter into a chocolate shop with all these amazing chocolates. That's where you can buy a CHOCOLATE entrance ticket. Then you can see all the amazing sculptures and learn about history of chocolate, before returning to the same shop wanting more chocolate!
Few but of high value archeological artifacts. A very nice museum in Barcelona, not as well known as other one but definitely worth a visit.
Go for the views, have a bit of fun on some old rides. Shame the plane queue was ridiculous. If we'd known that a fairly moderate looking queue was actually 90 mins we might have skipped it. Glad we didn't though. We got the last 'flight' of the day.
A magnificent and astonishing wax museum featuring lifelike figures of renowned movie characters and celebrities, nestled in the heart of La Rambla.
At the outset, embark on an amazing experience in a simulated elevator.

The church was beautiful 😍 I went on the night of "The Three Kings". I parked and walked up the path and was greeted by the beautiful temple. Unfortunately, the temple wasn't lite. The views this point provides are breathtaking. I'll have to arrive back for a tour when I have more time.
Ich habe etwas mehr erwartet.... Mit zwei kleinen Kindern waren wir schnell mit der Ausstellung fertig. Viele Informationen waren leider nur auf Katalanisch. Keine Empfehlung über den Besuchsverlauf. Ich kam mir als Besucherin recht verloren vor. Nicht Mal ein Flyer oder eine Infokarte bekam ich zur Orientierung, abgesehen zum Andenken.
Der Shop mit den sehr teueren Andenken war natürlich top ausgestattet.

Incredible sculptures in chocolate. You get an "entry ticket" which is a small dark chocolate bar with a scannable QR code. After passing the tourniquet you can eat it 😀. The cafeteria sells the tastiest chocolates I ever had (and I had quite a lot in my life). Highly recommend.
Very enjoyable collection, 2 floors of wonderful artefacts and a ton of history and context. Would be perfect to visit for any archaeology or Egyptology enthusiast!
Fun and different museum! Audio was laid out weird and a little too long compared to the number of exhibits. Fun to see all the chocolate sculptures. The smell is heavenly!
Highlights: Jon Snow, The Iron Throne, Jack Sparrow, Adele, Taylor Swift, the jungle themed entry to Indiana Jones and King Kong
Disappointments: Harry Potter looks literally nothing like himself 😭 also Amsterdam’s Rihanna looks significantly better.
Experience was 100% worth it, but would recommend getting the Go City Pass as these tickets are included in that overhead cost (otherwise this museum is quite expensive on its own).
Get there before 7pm or you won’t be able to enter, but getting there as late as possible dodges a lot of the crowds too.

Some figures are good, some are awful.
I recommend visiting a Madame Tussauds museum if you have an opportunity instead of this one.

Small museum but worth it and quite effective. Beautiful and expressive art. Also quite unique. The main thing people go for is almost at the end. The diamond mirror room. Always amazing to go. Amsterdam and Barcelona versions are both nice. But temper expectations due to its mini size
Una plaza muy entrañable
I love everything about this park. Always feels like a calming recluse away from city, but not so far that it's of difficult access. If you get there with Google, it always takes you to the part that has a kids' playground, which is great if that's what you're looking for. But for grownups, I definitely recommend staying on the north side of the park. It's prettier, you can see the sunset better and the space is more open. I've been there for hours and also have gone to spend less than an hour. Either way, it's perfect. One of my favourites in Barcelona for sure
Very interesting, should be advertised more
Le parc est actuellement en réfection, et à cause des problèmes de sécheresse il n'y a plus les jets ni certains bassins. A visiter plutôt en demi saison pour profiter pleinement. Sinon il doit être superbe!
A nice but small museum. For 12 euro its about what you'd expect to pay, but in truth you'll only need an hour in here. The king tut exhibit has no English translations.
Fantastic place, fantastic views.
This place is ace, easy to get to by using public transport, has places to eat/drink both buying there and bringing your own food. Has a little corner shop and gift shop (more expensive than the city centre but expected due to convenience).
I fully recommend paying the small fee to go to the top of the church as the views are amazing.
The rides are reasonably priced.

A great place to experience a nice local Barcelona market without lots of tourists.
Interesante visita, lugar pequeñito pero bien conservado,erece visita. Un placer estar sola en todo el recinto aunque se recomienda asistencia por cultura y valor patrimonial
Dear fellow travelers, when you reach La Rambla, Barcelona, don't you dare to miss the Wax Museum.
It was THE BEST museum experience we had until now. It's full of dynamic, interactive, and beautiful sculptures.
We had fun, we got scared and took memorable pictures. I clearly remember the zone that takes you to Rambla 360. See the boulevard from the highest point.
BEWARE OF UNDERCOVER REAL SCARY People.👹👻We loved it and we'll visit it again, for sure.

Amazing park to chill out! Very fresh and quite.
Perfect place for party or pic-nic with kids
This is the government hub or council offices if you prefer in Nou Barris. I like that everything is so centralised. From Mossos d’esquadra, the Library, Tessoria or treasury, social services citezen advice and social welfare it’s great that when you need to get something done if you’ve been to one already you know exactly where it is. It’s in a beautiful park with stunning architecture. I’m not sure if it’s a new build or an old building repurposed but it looks fantastic. There’s a bicing station right outside but it’s a bit hilly so depending on where you’re coming from and your level of fitness you could grab a Bicing Mechanical or an Electric one to get there and enjoy the scenery on your way.
I am MAD. We liked the exhibit at first. It felt a bit weird as there was absolutely 0 chronological or any sense in the ordering of the exposition but the audio commentary provided kinda bringed it together. We left the bottom floor for last as it seemed like the most exciting one. Then we went there and we were EXTREMELY disappointed. The entire floor is not only not in English but not even in Spanish, it is ONLY in Catalan. Like WHAT? That's so extremely unfriendly to tourists, its 2023 like come on. The app audio commentary wasnt available in English in that floor either and there was no wifi or signal in the floor either, so no Translator.
The collection is absolutely stunning! It contains a wide variety of artifacts -- from clothing to jewelry and statues of all sizes -- beautifully preserved and presented. It's so interesting, so engrossing, and you'll learn a tremendous amount about Ancient Egypt. Highly recommended!
Nice and quite little place to hice from the city noises)
Beautiful market a little bit tuck away for tourists to see. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and prepared foods. Be aware of opening and closing time
Small gem at the mountain border of St. Gervasi. Deeply romantic park that preserves the spirit of its original design as private garden of a wealthy family from XIX century. The left side is calm and truly inspirational thanks to the classic statues, the colorful flowers and the pond. The right part is more vibrant and it has a zone for children and two pingpong tables.
Fascinating place to explore the history and culture of ancient Egypt. The collection is extensive and well-curated, with a range of stunning artifacts from different periods of Egyptian history. The displays are informative and engaging, with clear explanations of the significance of each object and its place in Egyptian culture and society. One of the highlights of the museum is the replica tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, which is incredibly well-done and gives visitors a unique insight into the burial practices and beliefs of ancient Egyptians. Additionally, the museum offers guided tours in multiple languages, which provide an even deeper understanding of the exhibits. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, always willing to answer any questions and share interesting facts about the artifacts. The museum is also conveniently located, making it easy to access via public transportation. Overall, I really liked it. This is a must-see attraction for anyone interested in ancient history or Egyptian culture. It is definitely worth a visit.
It is closed basically ALWAYS
The park is nice, although when I went there was building works everywhere. I hope in the future it’ll be much better
Mir hat mein Besuch sehr gut gefallen, ich wahr ca 1 1/2 Stunden im Museum und wahr sehr begeistert, sehr zu empfehlen. Würde wenn ich noch mal in Barcelona sein würde ich mir das Museum auf jeden Fall noch mal ansehen.
Трохи брудні фонтани. А в цілому гарне місце.
We had low expectations of the museum after reading so many negative reviews, but we actually enjoyed it. The interactive exhibits and variety kept things very interesting and fun. Apparently the Star Wars exhibit has had a make over, with the wax figures that was the constant brunt of jokes having been apparently removed.
Visita corta en el su terraneo. Vale la pena la visita. Es rápida e historia 100% para el que le guste.
Another disaster by MUHBA: there is no map of the site whatsoever and not a single explanation on the entire archeological site. How is it possible the potential of this interesting site is just spoiled?
Charming park with many isolated areas. Beautiful architecture for a daytime stroll with kids. No dogs allowed.
Muy linda!
instalada al final dels anys 90 amb la transformació de la Plaça en espai per a vianants, es un disseny d'Andreu Arriola i Carme Fiol.
3 spaces for dogs. Close and safe.
Most important very clean and to be Saturday, no People around.
My dogs enjoyed very well the time :)
Have nice environment for a sunny days with family and friends.
Nice space for kids.
A artificial lake too.
Out of the busy tourism environment.
To go!

Very nice local market. Bought hand sliced Jamon.. the price vs the quality this place offer is a steal. If you have a kitchen, get a piece of toro tuna. The price is less than 10% to the tokyo market.
No English here
Restes arqueològiques. Un espai petit però que val la pena conèixer si t'interessa la història de Barcelona. Es visita els diumenges.
We were disappointed by our visits to this "market"! There was not much to show for. Though this place looked news, it was as if it had been deserted for some time!
Très sympas mais la où l'eau est présente est en travaux
I can't really comment on the place since it was closed at 12:15 pm on a Tuesday when I visited. It should have been open at this time according to the hours shown on Google Maps.
I enquired at the main MUHBA location near the cathedral and was told that this site ONLY OPENS ON SUNDAYS.
