Top things to do in Barcelona

Barcelona is a city filled with iconic landmarks, a mix of historic charm, modern architecture, and vibrant culture. Yet you never really get a bird’s eye view of the city in all its glory, unless you’re at the Mirador Torre Glòries. Perched 125 meters high on the 30th floor of the Torre Glòries building, this 360° observatory offers panoramic views of the city, the Mediterranean coastline, and the Tibidabo mountains in the distance. It was designed by Jean Nouvel, the mastermind behind the expansion of the Reina Sofia Museum.

Things to know before booking Mirador Torre Glòries tickets 

  • Your entry tickets to Mirador Torre Glòries get you seamless skip-the-line access to the observatory, saving you about 30-60 minutes during the peak season.

Tips for your visit to Mirador Torre Glòries 

  • Aim to visit the observatory during golden hour. The evening sun casts a stunning, warm glow over the whole city, making it the perfect photo op. 
  • Booking your tickets online is the best way to guarantee access on the day of your visit. This is crucial during the peak season as getting tickets at the venue can be tricky. 
  • If it rains (even a quick drizzle), go immediately after. The city’s rooftops look cleaner, air clarity increases noticeably, and reflections from lingering moisture create unusually crisp, high-contrast panoramas. You’ll get some of the clearest views you can ever have from the tower.
  • The observation level has curved glass, which can distort or reflect light. The trick: head to the glass panels closest to structural corners, as they produce the least glare and the cleanest, flattest shots of Barcelona’s skyline.
