The National Palace, which was opened for the International Exhibition in 1929, is now home to the National Museum of Catalan Art.. Near this museum on Montjuic Hill, you can enjoy the best view of the city.. Just across the museum is Plaça d’Espanya, one of the most well-known squares in Barcelona.. In the middle of the square, there is a fountain called the Magic Fountain.. Music and light shows are performed in this fountain in the evening.
19. This museum, where you can see the works of art and 20th century, is one of the important places that should be on your list of places to visit in Barcelona.. However, instead of entering the museum, most tourists watch the view of Plaça d’Espanya and the evening shows in front of this museum.
I can say that the entrances to the museum will not be crowded since there is not much demand.. If you don’t have an extreme fondness for art, you can skip the museum visit as I did and go up Montjuic Hill right next to the museum and watch the unique view of Barcelona.
