Well worth the short ascension: the view from the terrace is brilliant (best enjoyed w/ a beer)! The restaurant serves a correct lunch, and the entrance to the museum is free on Saturdays after 3pm.

Comfortable couches, free wifi and excellent architecture at the ground floor! Take the elevator to the roof for a great view. They redesign the Modernism section now, they only exhibit a few pieces.

Visit the roof terrace for a panoramic view of the city. Follow the signage that says 'tour' near the stairwell. It leads to the roof terrace where u get.glimpses of castle Montjuic & Olympic stadium.

We spent the day. The view outside the top of the museum was breathtaking. We enjoyed all the Catholic art the museum offered. The architecture of the museum is as good as the art, as a former palace.

Great collection, from 'Romanic' to 'modern art'. Beautiful museum, delicately designed and with great city views (getting up to the rooftoop is a must!). You won't regret it!

The museum is housed in a beautiful building set above Barcelona. The view from the top is amazing. You get a panoramic view of Barcelona there. Combing your museum visit with magic fountain show.

Once at the top, go left down the hill towards the cable cars and make your way to the castle behind it. Amazing views of the city!

So beautiful, luckily escalators are available to reach out. Put a good few hours so you can see all around and inside. Cafe available either before or after.

Beautiful building and great view of the city. Great collection of Catalonian art, especially Romanesque. Only complaint is that not all information is available in English. Worth a visit.

Stop at the front door instead of the back of the castle as you have to go around to the front and it's quite a distance.Beautiful pieces inside and excellent view from the terrace cafe.

Nice museum in a great building. Roof view of the city is awesome.
Petr MJuly 4, 2015
Temporary exhibition of photos was very good. The permanent one was OK, but definitely not the first place in Barcelona to visit.
