La Pedrera Night Experience, a spectacle of lights and colours  

La Pedrera Night Experience is a unique activity in Barcelona that allows visitors to explore Casa Milà, also known as La Pedrera, at night. This iconic modernist building, designed by Antoni Gaudí, is transformed at nightfall into a spectacle of light and sound that enhances its unique architecture.  

During the visit, you can tour different areas of the building, including the impressive warriors’ rooftop, known for its original shaped chimneys and fans. The experience culminates with videomapping, an audiovisual show on the rooftop, where light and sound projections will captivate you. After the show, you can enjoy a glass of cava and sweets in the Patio de las Mariposas 

Tickets can be purchased in advance, and early booking is recommended due to the popularity of the show.  

Maristas La Inmaculada School, under candlelight  

The Colegio de Maristas La Inmaculada in Barcelona is transformed into the setting for the best classical music concerts in the city this summer.

This is the Candlelight show, very popular all over the world, which offers attendees an immersive and intimate experience, under the light of hundreds of candles, in a unique, neo-Gothic style setting.

Night tour of the Gothic Quarter  

One of the most charming areas of the city is the Gothic Quarter, whose mystery grows with the passing of the day until nightfall. If you would like to know the stories and legends that hide the streets of the city, you can’t miss a night tour of this area. 

Some of the places you can visit are Carrer Estruc, with its symbols related to witchcraft; the Els Quatre Gats café; the Kiss Mural; Plaça Nova and Plaça Reial.

You can also see, from a different perspective and at night, the façades of emblematic buildings of the city, such as the Basilica of Santa Maria del Pi.   

Enjoy the good atmosphere, with the best views  

If you prefer to enjoy a quiet atmosphere while you have a refreshing drink and enjoy the best views of the city, we recommend several trendy bars and terraces that will not leave you indifferent.   

If you’re in the Gothic Quarter after the tour we’ve mentioned, we suggest you have a delicious cocktail at the RoofTop Ohla Barcelona, located on the rooftop of the luxury hotel of the same name, located on Via Laietana, one of the main avenues of the city.   

On the other hand, the Hotel Pulitzer hosts, every Wednesday night, live music shows and DJs on its terrace, with a kitchen that offers magnificent proposals for dinner. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, you’ll also find DJ sessions at the Rooftop Garden of the luxurious Hotel El Palace Barcelona, a romantic garden inspired by the 1920s, with a 360º panoramic view.
