The visit to the Palau was very interesting, the guide was very dynamic, with a lot of information about the history of the building and its modernist architecture, we could appreciate the construction details, sit in the hall, listen to the impressive organ of 4000 pipes. We went as a family with 2 teenage children and we all loved the experience. I recommend it, it is not to be missed!

If you’re looking for a bit of history, culture, and beauty during your stay in Barcelona, a guided tour to the Palau de la Música is just the thing for you! Visit the only concert hall to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Located on a narrow unassuming street in the Ribera district of the city, the building represents the unique and distinct modernist style of architecture. Step into the hall and you will be stunned by the aesthetic blend of sculpture, mosaic, stained glass and wrought iron on the facades of this unique modern building.

The concert hall is home to the Orfeó Català choir and is funded entirely by public donations, making it just as much a part of the cultural, architectural and musical fabric of the city's history. Visit their rehearsal room. The central part of the structure is, of course, the concert hall itself, a vast, lavishly decorated space that is flooded with light, courtesy of a central skylight, Enjoy the opportunity of walking on to the stage itself and looking out at the hall, viewing the audience the way the performers do. Lastly, you will get to visit the Sala Lluís Millet, named after the founder of the Orfeó Català choir to end your tour. The giant stained glass windows of the room divulge the unique columns decorating the balcony of the building.
