Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    + beautiful architecture of Gaudi
    + you can relax and sit (unlike in his houses)
    + the price is affordable compared to his houses (11 EUR)

    - unnecessary staff regulating the movement in the park
    - horribly overcrowded (you can barely take photos and I did not even bother to wait the queu into museums)
    - you need to book tickets in advance, otherwise they are sold out

    Great city park used by tourists and locals of all ages. We could have spent hours watching how local people use the green space for playing guitars, saxophone, practise tight rope walking, sing and so much more. Entertainers around the beautiful fountain were encouraging children to burst huge bubbles while their parents sat in the cafe area. All that and there's still the zoo and museums to visit! A must to visit.

    Great park on Montjuic. I think the nicest way to get up here is to take the underground to Parallel station and then the funiclar (with the same ticket) up to the station where you take the cable car. Then you can walk around the park and enjoy the views and also go visit the castle as well.

    After visiting fabulous Tossa del Mar I debated on whether it would be worth it to see the least regarded beach that many reviewers warn you to avoid. After some hesitation I decided to check it out with my brother. We took the bus from Marina Ribes (V21) near our hotel to Pl Maritim- Pepe Rubianes. The beaches near Barceloneta are some of the ugliest IMO due to it's port setting and cluster of industrial harbors nearby. (Take an aerial look using Google Earth) Once you're there it doesn't look so bad though and actually resembles a fairly normal one. There's bars, there's palm trees, there are fit couples walking hand in hand, ladies in cheeky thongs, people roller blading, the works. We spent some time here just waiting for sunset. A little bit of a hike and not very close to metro entrance. Worth a look though.

    The aquarium visit today was fun, however it felt far too short. There is a walk through area to see a range of fish which then leads to the main section of the underwater tunnel feature. This is a nice experience as it feels more interactive and a close up however if it is busy (like it was today) you are a little too close for comfort with other individuals. Unfortunately for us, there was a group of boisterous guys who didn’t abide by rules and used flash photography which meant someone of our photos were getting ruined thanks to the flashes. It would be helpful to have staff members present to supervise especially since young children and babies can be around. Overall, it was a pleasant visit however definitely not worth the price. The gift shop was very good and an interactive “feed the fish” activity was good for children.

    A visit to the zoo today was extremely fun! There was a range of animals to see and it was a wonderful experience to see them. Unfortunately many of the cafes within the grounds were closed however the gift shops were open and had some wonderful gift options for all ages. The weather was not the best today with it being cloudy, therefore it may not have seemed as good as it could be. Overall, it was still fun to see the animals especially the Giraffes 🦒

    The park is quite easy to get to on the metro. About a 10 min walk from Mundet on L3 the green line. The park is pretty with a lot of shade. The highlight is the Labyrinth. It is the real deal. We did the maze when the park opened up at 10 am. It was pretty confusing getting to the center and even worse trying to find our way out. Some of the maze has been replanted in the last year or two which made it a bit easier. Don’t do this if you are claustrophobic.

    This port is easy to navigate. We got a taxi from our city centre hotel and it brought us just to where you embark. From there it’s well signposted. Embarking is similar. Lots of taxis available.

    Loved this beach, it was such a chilled vibe and felt very safe. There wasnt anyone pushing to sell stuff like on some other beaches. The sea was beautiful and clear, there was a volleyball area and a lot of locals which was lovely. Also plenty of food and drink options around.

    This beach was quite a walk away from Barceloneta, but the further you get the quiet the beaches. Not as many facilities as closer to the main part of the city, but bring drinks and hope you don’t need the toilet!

    The Gardens are very nicely maintained. They are a world apart from centro Barcelona though it is not a long taxi ride.

    Comprised largely of Cactus, the Gardens have a back drop of mountains on one side and a seaview on the other.

    There are a couple of restaurants right in the Gardens as well as a restaurant and bar in the adjoining Miramar Hotel. After walking for a couple of hours, we had a drink and bite to eat at the lovely hotel.

    The plantings, the vistas, the presence of the hotel and even the birds we saw in the Gardens all made for a very satisfying afternoon. We needed some peace and quietude after a couple of days in busy Barcelona and we found the perfect place.

    We would have paid to walk these gardens, but there was no charge.

    We went to Mar Bella beach on consecutive 2 days midweek in July and had two contrasting naturist experiences.
    The naturist section of the beach is small and occupies the sections numbered 30 to 32.
    The nearest metro stations are Poblenou and Selva de Mar, both about 15 minutes walk away.
    On the first day we rented 2 sunbeds and an umbrella in front of the BeGay bar at a cost of 45 Euros. I found this to be very expensive and then was told we could not eat or drink our own food and drink (besides water) whilst seated in front of the bar! The bar itself pumped out techno music the whole day which meant you couldn't really relax. The majority of the people sunbathing around the bar area wore a swim suit (must have been around 95% clothed). I think I was the only naked person using a sunbed and there were no naked people in the bar. Not a great naturist experience to be surrounded by mainly clothed people on a naturist beach.
    The next day we brought our own umbrella and sunbathed on a different part of the beach (at the Poblenou end). This was a much better naturist experience and there was a more even number of naked and clothed people. There was a good mixture of male and female people on this part of the beach. It was encouraging to see so many young women feeling safe enough to naked on a beach. We couldn't hear the music from the bar which meant I was able to relax and read in peace.
    In conclusion I recommend going to this naturist beach as there is a mixture of male and females and it has a young age group giving it a lively vibe. I would avoid the area around the BeGay bar unless you are into techno music and don't mind paying over the odds for a sunbed and umbrella. As a naturist be prepared to be in the minority in certain parts of the beach and certain areas have more men than women.
    I would also recommend visiting the Rambla de Poblenou, near Poblenou metro, for great bars and restaurants (much nicer area than La Rambla in the centre of town).

    Park de Cervantes is a medium size park in the city. Wonderful park to relax (it really quiet and not overcrowded), sit down on a bench under the pergola or shade of the trees and let zen come to you. The park has plants shrubberies surrounded by green hedges, trees, bushes, plants and lots of different roses. It's delighting for your eyes as well as for your nose

    We stayed here in an Airbnb, perfectly located to visit Barcelona. The ‘park’ is wonderful and has some wonderful views all the way down to the coast.

    One of the most famous beaches in Barcelona.

    I found it to be very crowded but i guess that’s expected when a beach is so close to a large city.

    It’s at the end of the Rambla so that adds to the attraction feature .
