The fountain show is mesmerising. Make sure you get here early to get a good seat. After the show has finished walk up to the top of the steps to get a wonderful view of Barcelona City at night.

Great light and fountain show Thursday-Saturday from 9-10pm. Get sangria at one of the kiosks and find a comfy seat. Just don't sit down wind from fountain bc you will get wet.

Show starts at 21:00, finishes 23:30. There's a nice view of the font from the National Museum of Art of Barcelona, that worths a lot. If you stay until the end, get ready for long lines on the subway

The magic fountain is just a must see when in Barcelona, and can´t be visited enough times. It only is on during the weekend for a certain schedule, therefore it´s important to check out the schedule

The Magic Fountains are back onto their summer timetable. That means shows on Thursdays and Sundays again, as well as the Fridays and Saturdays!

Impressive display of fountains up one side of Montjuic. The water jets are synchronized whilst in operation, however from approx 21:00-23:00, the fountains are then illuminated with lights and music.

music, lights and water - a must-see when in barcelona.
Denisa HermanAugust 18, 2017
There are lights shows in the summer here. Unique experience. Usually between 21:30 and 22:30. Plus they play music through the speakers of the fountain. Well expect it to be full of tourists but yeah

Fun and free activity that anyone would enjoy. A colorful dancing fountain with music, it can get crowded but it's still very enjoyable!
Tania AntOctober 17, 2015
Amazing show that anyone who visits the town must see. The show starts at 9 but the park is full since 7. Go sit, drink and listen/see the street artists.

There may only be shows on Fridays and Saturdays now that the winter season has arrived. But we think that just makes the fountains' shows even more special! Read more

A magnificent water, light and music show...don't miss it...near Plaza de Espana...from Thursday to Sunday...it begins at nine o clock at night...

Don't just stop at the fountain's show there is much more as you'll go up the stairs. All museums are free on the first Sunday of the month!
El Catador de Casa PastorJune 21, 2012
Created by architect Carles Büigas, is one of the most popular places in the city. They have been working since 1929 and today they still impress with their light and music. Sit down and relax.
Remo MalarikApril 14, 2017
If you absolutely LOVE water features like I do, then this is for you. Make sure to check the days/times that they do the show with music!

Music show is not that much magical as its name. But the view from the plaça espanya is awesome with the stairs and the museum at the top.

Come here after 8pm - every 30min (5min break between) fountain starts singing and dancing :) Must-see place in Barcelona. Hundreds of dancing and filming people around.

A perfect place for a romantic date. Bring your loved one and enjoy the fountain, music and lights against the backdrop of a gorgeous palace.

Beautiful dancing fountain ⛲️
Doug BaerOctober 20, 2015
Gets REALLY crowded. Get there early (before the fountains turn on) and go to the top, then work your way down once they start.
Oh-Barcelona.comSeptember 21, 2012
Be sure to check out the music and lights show that takes place at the fountains at the foot of Montjuic - near Plaça Espanya - every Friday, Saturday (and Thursday and Sundays too during the summer). Read more

The fountain is really spectacular. If you want to take a good place to watch the show come early, coz later this place becomes really crowded
Beverley SproatsMay 31, 2014
Worth a visit - a fun show of music and lights and fountains and a good atmosphere with lots if people milling around
BubbleNovember 16, 2014
At a specific time in the afternoons the fountain is lighted up and the speakers play music (Abba, Queen etc.). Lots of people go there for the show and that was more interesting than the show itself.
Jeremy CMarch 6, 2015
A few blocks from Plaza Espanya, visit this fountain and grab a bench for a great view of Barcelona and Josep Puig castle/museum.
Sam HutchingsNovember 2, 2015
Great place to take friends and family when they're visiting. The shows change based on what day of the week it is.
Beth GossipJuly 3, 2015
Would not recommend going to the first "show" at 9pm. Not too impressive if you can't see the lights. Best view from the 5(?) pillars. Also watch your belongings if you're picnicking
Hotel Principal BarcelonaNovember 15, 2011
It is a magnificent FREE show and the special fountain performance is just ´wow´. Highly recommended. Check music times/days because it does not operate every night.
Acomodis BarcelonaApril 10, 2012
An archetypical Barcelona experience; water, lights and music combining to give spectators a unique spectacle. 15 minutes of distilled Barcelona fun!
Shahad albakriNovember 14, 2016
Amazing place😭❤️You don't want to close your eyes because you want to see the beauty
Zsófi H.June 4, 2016
Friday-Saturday night from around 9.30pm. First they open the fountains infront of the museum and after they start the show.

Sit on the rails from the steps for the best view. Be careful you might get soaked by the fountains if you get too close.
