What travellers are saying
- Ben B74 contributionsTucked away in a hidden corner of El Raval, the Biblioteca de Catalunya is one of Barcelona's most beautiful secrets. The public section is free to enter and contains a wealth of reading material for those for whom the city's museums aren't enough, and whilst the main library itself (up the big stairs on the left upon entering the gardens from Carrer del Hospital) requires a pass to enter, this is both free and easily obtained at the main desk, for both passing and more lengthy visits.Written 14 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tamerlans007Badalona, Spain1,721 contributionsInteresting public library that worth a visit. It's a very good complement of the main places in Barcelona. It's not a touristic place and could be a good place to rest for a while and get into an old atmosphere. They have a very good Sherlock Holmes collection.
The visit is free.Written 12 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great terrace and open space.Written 29 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MollyKathleen04Melbourne, Australia6 contributionsI like Black Books on TV, not so much in real life. The surly Irishman behind the counter is a poor imitation of Bernard Black, and made my visit a thoroughly unpleasant experience. The whole time I was there he was loudly rude and passive-agressive toward his co-worker, making everyone in the store quite uncomfortable. When I went to pay I was greeted with a surly glance from the above mentioned gentlemen while he continued to file his nails and ignore me until his co-worker was ready to serve me.
Don't bother attempting to sell books to them. They will either accuse you of trying to steal them, or offer you 1 Euro for a book in brand new condition (or in my case both).
I guess one positive is that I'm now inclined to learn Spanish so I never have to go back there.Written 5 December 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was lovely to see how the new library marries into the old factory setting. Not to mention, it's a great place to focus on your own work and to find inspiration.Written 1 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MrReonCentral New Jersey2 contributionsThis building (now a university library) is a reproduction of the Spanish Pavilion at the 1937 Paris Exposition. Although it was closed when we were there in October 2011 we could walk around it and look inside. On the ground level there is reproduction of Picasso's painting Guernica where the original was displayed. For those interested in architecture and history this is an amazing find!Written 12 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
