I love that I could sit and admire the architecture of the whole building . I could see the whole hall with different perspectives, from the parterre or higher balvony, which was also amazing.
The place is magnificent! The entrance recommended downloading the audio guide beforehand, which I was not able to do. When I arrived at the place, the Palace staff was very unclear, they sent me from one counter to another and were quite dismissive.

In a previous trip, we had attended a concert and were wowed by the place. We wanted a deeper dive and the guided tour was perfect. Our guide was very knowledgeable and professional. I guarantee that we learned more than we would have otherwise. Recommended,
Beautiful creation! Very good audio guide.
The Palau della Musica is wonderful. We did not queue. Audio guide downloaded with cell phone very practical

The most I liked were interesting architecture and beatiful color scheme. Unfortunately, audioguide did not work.
I had difficulty downloading the guide and it wasn't clear, initially, where we were when starting the guide. The audio starts you prior to the entrance so the visitor is 4-5 points of interest in before it is obvious where you are in the tour. Also, I had to call the company as the confirmation number was NOT on the ticket as the FAq sheet would have you believe.
Buying tickets in advance meant we didn't have to queue at the entrance to the Palau. However, the multiple downloads that have to be made, and of which we are not informed prior to purchase, make the whole experience complicated.

Everything was wonderful except that the store was closed because there was an event. I was there the afternoon before for Pierrot Lunaire, I trusted myself thinking of buying a souvenir the next day and my joy in a well. The rest, as I said, perfect, an unforgettable experience.

A great guide who managed to make the building "feel" to us. A great building and an outside chance for us to get tickets in the evening for Beethoven's 4th and 7th symphonies, performed by the orchestre de Champs Elysée conducted by our compatriot, Philippe Herreweghe. A fantastic experience to see the building in full glory by day and evening.

No problem with accessing and tickets. Staff very helpful and showed us how to use the audio description. The building is amazing. Loved the organ playing. A really worthwhile trip.
It is worth to visit there. The music hall with full of sunshine through windows and the decoration of the wall and ceiling are so beautiful.
I loved the Palau de la Música Catalana, it is a dream place, a wonderful building. However, the staff on duty was quite unfriendly. The girls who were on both sides of the stairs, the one who was checking in did not inform me of the activation code of the audio guide, and spoke to me in English all the time while I did it in Spanish (inconsistencies), and on the other hand, regarding the girl on the stairs at the exit, I went to ask where to enter the tour and she did not give me the code to activate the audio guide, I went to ask where to enter the tour and she told me "at the back, behind the stairs", I ended up in the cafeteria, when the reality was that the entrance was next to her, and instead of helping, she hindered my visit and made me get lost in the building even more. It shows a lack of empathy and, of course, little desire to be public facing and to help people. I had to ask him again and with a bad face he didn't even know how to answer. Bad experience with the staff working there.

The welcome was great, but we were expecting a guide rather than an audio-guide. The person helped us install your site on one of our phones, but it wasn't easy with two people, so we abandoned the audio guide and visited the Palau at our own pace. We would have preferred to have someone to guide us. That said, we really enjoyed the place!

It was such an easy to get to, beautiful location to visit. The Spanish can feel so proud of the incredible creativity and beauty of so many of their buildings. We just love Barcelona. Thanks for a great experience.
Unique building built by and for the community with many aspects unlike any other performance venue. The guided tour was excellent. Classwork beautiful. Definitely worth a tour
Very nice but for what you see the entrance fee is very expensive - the place is visited in much less time than indicated

Atmosphere is fantastic! What a lovely saloon. Dancers are wonderful. We have watched them cerefully. My eyes are always on the dancers. Good performance and enjoyable time.
We really enjoyed this beautiful place and we were well placed.

For me the show was limited, I expected to see more dancers on stage and more passionate interpretations, for me it was too "academic".
View original review in Spanish
The dancing was really fantastic. The show felt authentic and not a tourist production. I enjoyed the skill and the music so much.
What I liked the most was the music, the acting and the theater. What I liked the least was that you could not see the stage well. You had to stretch a lot and it was uncomfortable.
