The exterior is so beautiful and resembles a sea creature. He was known to get his inspiration from nature and it shows throughout Casa Batllo. The tour took about an hour. We went early in the day to avoid a long wait time. There are some gift shops in different sections throughout the tour and they also had an option to take a photo on the balcony which was available for purchase. Overall it was a nice experience!

It was a bit crowded when I was there midday so it could be hard to get pictures without people, but it wasn't too bad. It is a beautiful building and I think well worth a visit. I did the audio tour which I thought was good.

Just 300 hundred yards far from the Ramblas, you have the old city hospital, called Hospital de la…read moreSanta Creu i Sant Pau. One of the 600 years old buildings is hosting this cosy library. Specialized in arabic culture, it is a really nice place to read the newspapers, books or even watching a movie. There is also a children's library in front. The surroundings are astonishing, it is impossible that you don't fall off your chair if you happen to visit the cloister. You also have at the end of the library some tables with electric sockets, so you can plug your devices there. Internet is free if you have the library ID. Don't expect super high speed connection, but it works. The staff is kind and helpful and the restrooms are in good cleaning condition. The only problem is that is a small library so, after school is finished it could be difficult to find a free spot.

It's a nice library inside, although for a first-timer maybe a little difficult to find what you…read moreneed. Copies are 9 centimos, printing is 10 centimos for black and white. The staff have always been nice and helpful. Don't love that it closes at 2 p.m. for a couple hours most days, but I get it. They start playing music which is funny to me because that's usually how stores kick people out at closing time. It's usually quiet enough, for me anyway. It's easy enough to become a carnet holder and I will probably continue coming here :) Also, the stairs are kind of tricky because only one side of the room leads downstairs, the other side leads up.

Great place to take your kids. All ages. It's a library and learning center. They also have a parc…read morebehind it. Some people are friendly but I swear they are not clear in helping. I don't get it. Ugh! But anyways there is a area to study. Use the computer. There is a play area on the second floor for little kids. Books to read. A reason area. There is a information desk on the first floor. And also classes below the first floor which makes it -1 -0. I don't get it but yes. Class rooms. The Casal Infantil is on the 2nd floor you have to pay €3.20 for a day. You can leave your child and come back before 8pm.

Conveniently close to Hotel Ronda Lessups, there's lots of outdoor seating, and inside there's good WiFi and plenty of desk space for reading, thinking, listening, or studying. I didn't study here because I was on vacation. They have the nicest little café with good espresso which is served up properly in espresso cups and saucers which may seem like a simple given if you're European, but I'm American where even expensive coffee shops serve only disposable cups and don't want customers hanging around sipping.
