Observatori Fabra

Went for the Sopar amb estrelles event. It was a beautiful night and everything was impeccable. A bit pricey but the view and the ambiance made up for it. The only problem is getting up there and back into town.

An Evening of Stars and History – Fabra Observatory I had the pleasure of joining the "Dinner with the Stars" experience at Fabra Observatory — an evening I highly recommend to anyone visiting Barcelona. The night began with a lovely outdoor dinner on the panoramic terrace, offering breathtaking views of the city lights. The atmosphere was intimate and perfect for lovers of astronomy and fine dining. After dinner, we were guided on a tour inside the observatory, where we learned about its fascinating history. I found it especially interesting to discover the role the Observatory has played in both astronomical and seismological research. The highlight of the night was observing the stars through the historical telescope: we were lucky enough to see a binary star system, a fascinating phenomenon explained with passion by the staff. Seeing those distant, shining points so vividly through the eyepiece was truly moving. A perfect blend of culture, science, and romance. A unique experience that’s truly worth it.

We had an absolutely amazing time at the Fable Observatorio in Barcelona, dinner with the stars was unforgettable, the staff was warm and welcoming, the food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the entire place felt truly magical, it is a unique experience that we will never forget, we would recommend it to anyone visiting Barcelona, five stars without hesitation

I visited the observatory in Barcelona with a group, and we had purchased our tickets in advance. I highly recommend getting tickets beforehand – it’s definitely worth it! The view of the city is absolutely stunning, and you can explore various telescopes, which is really fascinating. The tour itself was engaging and gave a great insight into how people in the past were drawn to science. Not many people know about this place, so it’s even more interesting to visit. It’s a great experience for both students and older visitors. If someone wants to add a romantic touch to their visit, this is definitely the perfect place – the atmosphere is truly magical. I highly recommend visiting!

We had an amazing time at the dinner under the stars event at fabre observatory, the staff at sternalia were very helpful when arranging the booking and dietary requirements. The meal was wonderful in a lovely setting in front of the observatory with fantastic views over Barcelona. We requested English speaking tour of the observatory which was great as it turned out to be a small group of us as the main group got the tour in Catalan. The observatory itself is very interesting and it was a great experience to get to see Saturn through the telescope. The guide from Barcelona was lovely and very knowledgeable about the observatory. Would highly recommend!

Spectacular view of BCN and surroundings. Easy trip up with 3 euro finicula. Church at top also open for visitors and for an extra 5 euro you can visit church tower.

The "Dinner with Stars" was a fabulous experience: twilight welcome with cava or beer, dinner on the patio with unbelievable views of the city, then a visit to the observatory itself. While others enjoyed a presentation in Catalan, we got a private tour in English about the history, personalities, and science by our excellent guide, Bea. Then we were privileged to look through the 100+ year old telescope and see a clear view of Saturn with its rings and moon Titan, guided by astronomer Alicia. They even booked a taxi for our return, since the Bus 111 stops running in the evening. Definitely looking forward to returning next summer.

I read all of the reviews and truly thought people were just being negative or had been misguided in the type of event they were signing up for. Sadly, after wasting a substantial amount of money on what was supposed to be a once in a lifetime opportunity for my parents and I, I realized they were all right. I won't waste my time repeating what everyone else has already said but yes the food was actually truly not edible, the staff was rude, and we never even got to look through the telescope. The cherry on top was that there is absolutely no cell service up there and therefore no ability to call yourself a taxi. I asked the staff if they'd be willing to help us by calling one and they said no we've had bad experiences. So not only do they not let you know ahead of time that your phone won't work, they're also not willing to use theirs to call a ride for you. So we literally just had to start hiking down the mountain until we could get service. This is an awful experience. Give your money to another organization that actually treats people well.
