Palau de Musica Travel Reviews

Sep 05, 2007
The Palau de Musica Catalana (Palace of Catalan Music) is one of the most beautiful buildings in Barcelona, and an amazing concert hall as well. It is, without doubt, one of the most important concert halls worldwide. Due to the structure of the roof, the acoustics are quite exceptional, which is only fair if world class musicians are invited to play there. During my visit in March 2006, a small chamber orchestra performed some pieces by Vivaldi, a genuinely beautiful experience.

And whether or not you are into classical music, the building itself deserves a visit. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997, the building also represents the epitome of the modernist movement which was particularly strong in Barcelona. Guided tours are also available.

The only downside is the price. The cheapest tickets were around 15 euros and the most expensive tickets can be over 175. Regardless, visiting the Palau is one of my most memorable travel experiences and I warmly recommend it to anyone who is visiting Barcelona.

Anti-Karaoke
jteddyb says: Something absolutely unique takes place every Monday night at Sidecar (pronunced SEE-day-kar by the locals), a bar at the northern corner of Placa Reial, in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. Yes, it's karaoke, but it has to be seen to be believed. Anti-Karaoke's Milwaukee-born hostess, Rachel Arieff, has ...

Clubbing
makingofnothing says: Albeit I haven't experienced clubs in that many places around the world, I had some simply awesome times in Barcelona.. The Loft, in the roof of Razzmatazz, is one of THE clubs to go to for sets by top DJs.. (If techno/electro/etc. is not so much your thing, there are other rooms with house or wh...
