Tips from the community
The Palau Nacional de Montjuïc has been home to the Museu Nacional de Catalunya for almost three decades now and houses an enormous amount of cultural treasures. The Neo-Baroque silhouette of the palace looks like it was taken straight out of a Disney movie with a theatrical staircase, lined on each side with perfectly manicured gardens and a waterfall down the middle. Once you finally reach the top of the stairs (there’s also a series of escalators on the far side), you’ll be treated to several street buskers and local musicians performing in front of the venue that was built for the 1929 World Exhibition. Situated on top of the Montjuïc Mountain, you can enjoy wonderful views all around the city. In front of the steps you have a unique vista of Plaça d’Espanya and its two Venetian watch towers, exploding fountain, and bullfighting ring turned shopping center juxtaposed against the lush peaks.
