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.

    A truely interesting visit to Gaudi’s first project.

    Well preserved and with the easy audio guide on your phone, you can select which rooms to see when and hear what.

    Further it does not seem overcrowded so space to walk around and enjoy the experience

    This is a wonderful historic hospital complex barely a ten-minute walk from the Sagrada Familia, along a pedestrianised, tree-lined avenue. The exterior architecture of the various buildings is absolutely stunning. What we saw of the interior architecture and ornate decorative work was jaw-droppingly beautiful. Disappointingly though, during our visit towards the end of November, several of the twelve pavillions were not open which was a bummer.

    The adult rate for a self-guided visit is currently 17 Euro. We easily spent an hour and a half on site, so considered it good value for money compared with Barcelona’s generally very expensive entry fees. There is a small, attractive gift shop in the main entrance building. Staff is very friendly, including at the information counter and at security screening. Conveniently, there are free lockers provided if one wishes to leave bags or coats behind; just don’t forget to retrace your steps instead of leaving the complex through the large Administration Complex. We were impressed by the cleanliness of all outdoor spaces and the visitor toilets were also spotless.

    Despite our disappointment at the many closed pavillions, we would highly recommend a visit.

    We spent a heavily rainy Sunday morning here, this museum is amazing! It's interesting and funny for adults and kids, a lot of experiments people can directly try. This is highly recommended, despite it's always full of people! Booking is a must to avoid the long queues for tickets.

    Architecture was amazing. Well worth a visit. The outside gives you a taste of what is to come. You are guided around this house in a small group with an audio guide. They give you plastic to put on your feet and a tour guide opens the rooms one at a time while you listen to the audio. This house is so different to Gaudi’s but very interesting and well worth a visit if you are in Barcelona.

    We had a lovely morning, it was cheap to get in and there wasn't many other tourists around. My teenagers liked the labyrinth and then we walked around, looked the buildings, statues and ponds.

    There are many lovely and charming neighborhoods in BCN, and this one is my absolute favorite because it is so lively, especially at night when the many cafes and bars are crowded, mostly with youth. Many narrow streets to explore and a few big squares. You can find international food here.

    Visited here whilst out for a stroll looking for somewhere for dinner that was not in the main city centre. It was Halloween, so lot's of people out and about enjoying the evening. Nice feel about the area, with plenty of places to eat.

    The real thing. Sure four dancers, the singer, the guitarist but this was no frills flamenco. Totally engaging and entrancing. The dancers are total experts. You can help but cksp along - their talent is amazing. The hour was over in minutes!!! You must see this.

    The guided English tour was excellent. There were just two of us so we essentially had a private tour. Our guide provided so much detail as to the history of the site and he answered all our questions very well. This house is not as well known as other Gaudi sites so it was very quiet when we first arrived in the morning. It got a little busier by the time we left but not crowded. This was a really interesting site (one of my favorites). We took a taxi to the house since we were running late but walked to the metro and took the metro back afterwards. Not a long walk at all. Highly recommend.

    This square has walls with bomb blasts all over them from a war. I believe the Spanish Civil War. The are not repaired so people can remember their history.

    I loved my recent trip to the Monestir de Pedrables - a peaceful, beautiful oasis. Excellent value as it only cost 5 euro entry. Friendly staff and an easy to follow self guided tour. Loved it.

    Very nice view. Went by accident, planned to see Parc Guell and this was a close bus stop. Very difficult to find anything without mobile internet:). In the end found Parc Guell. Come early because police won't let people to stay later

    Not just the Rambla street but Poblenou district as a whole is great.
    Loads of typical local Spanish shops, bars and restaurants.
    Don’t think we saw one shop selling touristy stuff. ( could be wrong )
    A residential area with schools, flats, a church so different from the centre of the city.
    Lots of narrow streets many with attractive buildings.
    The Poblenou Rambla comes alive at night, many shops open late, lots of restaurants & plenty of seating areas along the way.
    We stayed in the Melia hotel and enjoyed quiet evenings in the area away from the City.

    The museum is huge so allow plenty of time if you want to see everything. One of the museum guides, Maria M. was very friendly, helpful and was doing her best to ensure visitors knew what the items were, such as the collectible cards. Maria genuinely wanted visitors to enjoy their visit. The ticket allows a second visit within 6 months.

    This is a fantastic small museum with amazing sculptures and paintings. A bit difficult to find but well worth the effort. Loved the current exhibit on urban landscapes. Incredible contemporary sculptures perfectly displayed in front of gorgeous antique doors.
