Create an itinerary including Torre Agbar
Torre Agbar is a 38-story skyscraper shaped like a bullet that towers over the city. While residents didn’t initially accept it, the building is now a symbol of architecture and the Catalan capital. Unfortunately, you can enter only the ground floor. Since the building hosts the city’s water company, there are often temporary exhibits with water-related themes. View this attraction by way of bus tours that travel the city, or even from a helicopter tour.

  • Saw it numerous times from various city vantage points, but it was most stunning at night, when passing it on the way to Glòries station. Gloriously illuminated in vibrant colours, all courtesy of...

  • This is an interesting modern skyscraper, much reminding on London's Gherkin. It is set in Barcelona's northeastern suburbs, and is becoming one of city symbols. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit.....  more

  • We took a metro to the station right underneath the tower just to see it at night. It is a pretty impressive design and we liked how it was light up at night.

  • We went to take pictures of La Torre Agbar, because it was one of the touristic places I used on my design: Barcelona Heart. We took a few pictures with the Bag and I used one of them on the promotional video. The pink and green of the blossomed trees, with the red and blue shades of the building, reminded me of colours of some of the Zen water colour paintings I used to see when I was studying art.
  • This was worth the hype. To watch the busy day of Barcelona from all the roads, tram lines, and trains to watch the sunset was phenomenal. I made sure to go towards the end spent about like 2 hours here as I wanted to catch the 360 view of daylight and of course watch the sunset. Must visit here to end your sightseeing.
  • There's very limited data on its illumination details, we went there at night expecting to see a fully lit building but we were disappointed, Some details on the official website will be appreciated.
  • Awesome exhibition with live details Takes about 45 minutes to complete the whole tour The view is incredible and the tower feels very stable so it is also a nice place for people who are scared of heights Very modern and the souvenir shop has great items We went quite late but still it was not busy at all almost empty Recommend coming here
  • First time ever i visited Barcelona and this place is in my check list, It's worth a visit, I looked it from outside but there is a chance to go inside if you could go in between 9:30 to 18:30. Look at some pictures attached
