Highlights

Go on an informative guided tour of Barcelona’s Palau De La Música, the only concert hall ever to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Your tour starts in the Rehearsal Hall of the Orfeó Catala, where the foundation stone was laid in 1905, and where the choir rehearses regularly as it has done for more than 100 years.
Continue to the grand staircase and visit the Lluís Millet Hall and glimpse the large balcony with columns that symbolize nature with flowers of every kind.
Be dazzled by an explosion of colors, shapes, and light as you enter the Concert Hall where you will be guided to the great skylight, where you can admire the impressive light source up close.
Fun fact: Unlike traditional concert halls, the Palau de la Música was created with the intention of involving the community in cultural activities.

Visiting such a sublime place in the company of our guide Larbi was a real pleasure. The beauty of the historic site combined with the guide's explanations, references, enthusiasm and passion.....we came away totally delighted! Thanks to Larbi and the theater staff.

Barcelona is a beautiful city full of things to see. Using the tour buses you can easily move between monuments with ease as well as listen to descriptions before visiting which is very helpful. Also if you are tired of walking you can continue the tour on the bus until you decide to continue the tour. It deserves

Your experience

If you’re looking for a bit of history, culture, and beauty during your stay in Barcelona, a guided tour to the Palau de la Música is just the thing for you! Visit the only concert hall to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Located on a narrow unassuming street in the Ribera district of the city, the building represents the unique and distinct modernist style of architecture. Step into the hall and you will be stunned by the aesthetic blend of sculpture, mosaic, stained glass and wrought iron on the facades of this unique modern building.

The concert hall is home to the Orfeó Català choir and is funded entirely by public donations, making it just as much a part of the cultural, architectural and musical fabric of the city's history. Visit their rehearsal room. The central part of the structure is, of course, the concert hall itself, a vast, lavishly decorated space that is flooded with light, courtesy of a central skylight, Enjoy the opportunity of walking on to the stage itself and looking out at the hall, viewing the audience the way the performers do. Lastly, you will get to visit the Sala Lluís Millet, named after the founder of the Orfeó Català choir to end your tour. The giant stained glass windows of the room divulge the unique columns decorating the balcony of the building.
