The tour is subpar for the price. You can go for a concert and enjoy a lot more and many times, cheaper (I saw one for the Ofeu Catalan for 11 euros). The architecture is gorgeous, but you have plenty of that in Barcelona anyway.

I had heard about and seen pictures of the Palau de la Musica but it needs to be seen in person. Every place you turn is special. Do the tour but be sure you go to the right place as we confused the Palau with the Grand Teatre del Liceu. We toured that as well and while beautiful and interesting... More

The guide was informaticve, and the building's interior was spectacular, but I wfelt that the €17 I paid was a bit much compared to what you see and experience.

We enjoyed seeing the outside and peeking inside. The price of the tour is rather expensive but may be worth it.

I had difficultly purchasing tickets online so we got tickets at the Music Hall and had no difficulty getting in for the next English tour. The tour was very informative and really made the visit to the Music Hall incredible. The tour is approximately 50 minutes and takes you through the various sections of the new and old music hall....

We ran into a children chior group rehearsaling in the concert hall, so we just sat there, admiring the details of interior and enjoying the performance. Would be... More
