Nestled in the heart of Barcelona, Poble Espanyol is an enchanting open-air museum that transports visitors through Spain's rich architectural heritage.

At Poble Espanyol, culinary experiences are as diverse as the architecture itself. Visitors can savor traditional Spanish dishes in various restaurants and cafés scattered throughout the site.

We paid 40 euros to see construction work for a pizza festival and kegs of beer. The panoramic terrace was closed and covered in beer. Access to the monastery was blocked because forklifts were arranging pallets for tables in its courtyard – the beer will definitely have to be drunk. The central square was covered, so the façades of the buildings couldn't be seen. I wouldn't visit this place even if it were free. I'm going to ask for my money back.

I really liked it there! The price was fair and not like Park Guell or Gaudis Houses. It was great to walk around and it had a lot of fun activities to do like visiting a small dinosaur park which was really good. Also inside it had a Museum which was free.

It was nice and beautiful, but based on what I had heard, I expected it to be much bigger and more impressive. In my opinion, if there were a festival with free entry, it would be worth visiting. Otherwise, it's not worth buying a ticket, and it's better to visit the cities in person instead. Of course, this is just my personal opinion.

It's a charming open air museum perfect for an afternoon stroll that offers a journey through Spain's diverse architecture and craftsmanship. The beautifully recreated streets showcase different styles of spanish cities. The orange trees add a refreshing outlook while artisan shops bring culture. It's also super close to the National Art Museum of Catalonia, another Catalan marvel. The location is well connected by public transport and metro lines L1 and L3.

The day I went most of the places inside were closed, not sure if because of the day of the week or the strong rain and floods due to DANA we were having. It has some nice sights but I agree with some of the reviews that complain it is pricey for what they offer. I generally would give 3 stars for the experience, but I found two unexpected, special and personal things there that caught me off guard and moved me, that puts in a ton of stars.
