The Palace of Catalan Music is one of the most well-known concert halls in Barcelona. It was built between 1905 and 1908. The Palace is the only concert venue in the Catalan modernista style listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Its elaborately decorated exterior and interior are breathtaking! The palace hosts a wide range of musical performances from the chamber and symphonic music to Cançó (Catalan song) and jazz.

CosmoCaixa explains science via vivid experiments. After entering, visitors descend 30 meters below in a gigantic spiral winding around a giant tropical tree. The rotation of the Earth is demonstrated with the help of a 40-metre long Foucault pendulum. In a geological section, you can see how the shape of a volcano develops. The nature of sound is shown with the help of two satellite dishes 80 metres apart, transmitting sounds between them. No boring formulas, try and see everything yourself!

Barcelona offers so many interesting places to see that you may be at a loss where to start. At first sight, the sightseeing bus seems like a good idea. However, you might have to wait in queues and move around in a packed vehicle. Besides, a bus can’t squeeze into tiny streets of the historic areas of the city. On the other hand, using comfortable city transport and walking will prove to be much more rewarding. Don’t rush through Barcelona; take your time to savour it!
