28 Best Things to Do in Barcelona

"A hot-pink logo. A giant sculpture of a Smurf posing like Frankenstein’s monster in the courtyard. And a mirrored room where hundreds of dangling diamonds change color as you walk inside. Have you got all of that? Barcelona's Moco Museum is a riot–of colors, of styles, of pushing artistic boundaries. Mainly, of joy. It may be next door to the Picasso Museum, but you’re about as far away from Picasso’s melancholic blue period as you can get. Here’s the thing: you cannot be bored here. The majority crowd is young, cool and scene-y: wearing outfits intentionally curated for the visit, with bodies contorted into angles to snap the best social-media content. After all, aesthetic impact is kind of the point of this place. Don’t be fooled though; museumgoers are very much here for the art. Discussions with animated hand gestures try to unpick what’s on the walls, while many works provoke a long-linger. Even if you hit 10,000 steps by lunchtime, Moco’s fluorescent, lively, reaction-provoking collection is a guaranteed perk-you-up. Yes, even if you’ve been known to yawn at the word “museum”. One last hack: tickets for time slots before 11am and after 6pm are cheaper." - Gemma Askham

Quite visually pleasant museum. Appreciate the audio guides that help understand the artists a bit better. However the exhibition is quite small. Most of the rooms are not specious enough for the amount of visitors so it feels cramped . I am a fan of Spanish artists - and think it would be way better to include more of their works. Overall, one time experience and if you really want to see the reproductions - visit, if not sure - I would skip.

A Very interesting museum, with many beautiful Pieces of art. Including two rooms with didactic and fun art. Discount codes or offers can easily be found in Instagram. Like 2 ticket for the price of one. This museum is small, so it is a fast visit. Maybe a total of 7 or 8 rooms in total.

This museum has a diverse collection, especially works by contemporary artists. While the interior layout is quite nice, it was difficult to understand the significance of these pieces in the context of Barcelona. Honestly, I think it might be better to spend that time visiting other iconic museums that represent the city.

Visiting the MOCO Museum in Barcelona was one of the highlights of my trip. It’s a place where modern, contemporary, and digital art come together in the most dynamic way — full of color, creativity, and unexpected emotions. The museum is located in the heart of El Born, inside a beautifully restored historic building that contrasts perfectly with the modern art inside. From the moment you enter, you feel the vibrant energy — each room has its own mood, from powerful visual installations to immersive digital experiences. I especially loved how the exhibition combines world-famous artists like Banksy, Basquiat, and Andy Warhol with emerging digital creators and NFT art. It’s not a typical “quiet” museum — it’s interactive, emotional, and modern. The NFT and digital rooms were fascinating — they make you reflect on how art, technology, and human creativity are merging today. Lighting, music, and the flow between rooms are very well designed, so you never feel bored or overwhelmed. The curators clearly thought about how to make art feel accessible, emotional, and current. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the museum shop also has great souvenirs and art books.

When words fail, Art creates a silent communication. I enjoyed my visit here. Amaizing organization and polite employees. I recomend it since it is a worthwhile experience for every lover of modern, contemporary and street art. You'll leave from there inspired with new perspective.

We really enjoyed our visit to the Moco Museum. The collection is fantastic, a mix of contemporary and modern works that are both thought-provoking and fun. The space itself is beautiful, not overwhelming in size, which makes it easy to enjoy without feeling rushed. It’s conveniently located right next to the Picasso Museum, and the free audio tour adds great context to the exhibits. Overall, a wonderful museum experience that we highly recommend.

We visited the museum completely randomly and we were more than happy by this discovery in the heart of Barcelona. The museum is great, not too big, so you don’t need to plan too much time. However the artists represented are great and it is a wave of vibrant colors, life appeal and joyful.

We went to this museum today. Our admission was discounted due to our ages over 65. This is a small privately owned museum that is a very nice space. This is the first museum I have ever visited that does not have seating benches or chairs in the viewing area. I find this very strange as often it is necessary to sit amd look at a painting for a!period of time to understand the the work of art. This would be a 5 star review then. The biggest surprise visiting the museum was the cast of the elephant with the figure on top by Salvador Dali. It was a posthumously cast. It's indeed an oddity!!!
