Barcelona is a city filled with iconic landmarks, a mix of historic charm, modern architecture, and vibrant culture. Yet you never really get a bird’s eye view of the city in all its glory, unless you’re at the Mirador Torre Glòries. Perched 125 meters high on the 30th floor of the Torre Glòries building, this 360° observatory offers panoramic views of the city, the Mediterranean coastline, and the Tibidabo mountains in the distance. It was designed by Jean Nouvel, the mastermind behind the expansion of the Reina Sofia Museum.

Arrival & entry

Once you arrive at the main entrance of the Torre Glòries building, your ticket will be validated. You’ll then proceed through a quick security check, with the option to store your personal belongings in the lockers available near the entrance.

The Hyperview Barcelona exhibit

Your first stop will be the underground Hyperview Barcelona exhibit, a cutting-edge representation of the city as a living organism. You’ll encounter real-time data visualizations on mobility, climate, biodiversity, and communication networks, showing Barcelona beyond what the eye can see.

Arrival at the observation deck

Next, the tower’s glass-ceiling elevators will whisk you to the 30th floor. The 125-meter ascent takes roughly 30 seconds and gives you an exciting preview of the tower’s structure as you look upward through the transparent ceiling.

Soak in panoramic views of the city

Once you reach the top, you’ll get to savor 360° views of the city. You’ll be able to spot some of the city’s key landmarks, like the Sagrada Familia, which is located just about 2km away, and observe it from a unique perspective.

Explore Cloud Cities Barcelona

A key highlight of your visit, Cloud Cities Barcelona is a suspended sculpture with an art meets adventure twist. Designed like a floating web, you can also scale this sculpture if you’re daring enough.

Depart with a view unlike any other

After exploring the space, you can ride the lightning-fast elevators down as you exit the building. The views will be hard to forget, and you might even get a sense of which parts of the city you might like to visit during your stay.

Things to know before booking Mirador Torre Glòries tickets 

  • Your entry tickets to Mirador Torre Glòries get you seamless skip-the-line access to the observatory, saving you about 30-60 minutes during the peak season. You get access to the Hyperview Barcelona exhibit, a digital audio guide in 10 languages, and the option to visit the Cloud Cities Barcelona exhibit with an upgrade. 
  • You also get the option to book tickets with direct access to the Cloud Cities Barcelona exhibition. Like the standard entry tickets, you get access to the 360° observation deck, a digital audio guide in 10 languages, and access to the Hyperiew Barcelona exhibit. 
  • Keep in mind that children under 8 can’t scale the Cloud Cities sculpture, and you’ll need to be in good physical condition to scale it. If you suffer from anaemia, diabetes, or respiratory or heart conditions, you won’t be allowed to scale the sculpture. 
  • If you want to maximize your time and save yourself some money in the process, you can book a combo ticket. It gets you access to Mirador Torre Glòries and a 24-hour hop-on hop-off bus tour of the city. The key highlight is that you can choose to go on both experiences on two separate days if you’d like.

360° panoramic observation deck

Mirador Torre Glòries’ main draw is the 360° wraparound observation deck on the tower’s 30th floor. It gives you a bird’s eye view of the city, from where you can spot key landmarks like the Sagrada Familia, the bustling web of the city’s streets, and the Mediterranean Sea & the Tibidabo mountains in the distance. It’s also a great way to understand the city’s layout.

Hyperview Barcelona

Hyperview Barcelona is your first experience upon entering the tower. Located on a lower level, this multi-media and multisensory exhibit reimagines Barcelona as a living, breathing organism. Divided into multiple thematic installations, it blends art, technology, and science through dynamic mobility maps, climate and air-quality visuals, real-time biodiversity readings, ambient soundscapes, and interactive screens.

Cloud Cities Barcelona

Suspended at the top of the dome is Cloud Cities Barcelona, a walk-in, climbable installation. The sculpture imagines how cities might look if they floated in the sky.  You’ll move through 113 transparent modules linked by web-like pathways, stepping into bubble-like pods that hang above the observatory floor. As you scale and recline inside these suspended spaces, you’re meant to feel like you’ve left the city below and stepped into a futuristic “sky city.”

The Torre Glòries architecture

The building itself is part of the draw. Torre Glòries is a 38-story bullet-shaped skyscraper clad in shimmering glass and LED panels. At night, it lights up in colors that represent the building’s temperature; warmer colors predominate the lower sections, representing the magmatic earth, while the cooling effect of the water results in the upper portions of the tower glistening in blue. Designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, the tower’s form was inspired by the Montserrat Mountain and a water geyser, giving it a distinctive curved silhouette.

Tips for your visit to Mirador Torre Glòries 

  • Aim to visit the observatory during golden hour. The evening sun casts a stunning, warm glow over the whole city, making it the perfect photo op. 
  • Booking your tickets online is the best way to guarantee access on the day of your visit. This is crucial during the peak season as getting tickets at the venue can be tricky. 
  • If it rains (even a quick drizzle), go immediately after. The city’s rooftops look cleaner, air clarity increases noticeably, and reflections from lingering moisture create unusually crisp, high-contrast panoramas. You’ll get some of the clearest views you can ever have from the tower.
  • The observation level has curved glass, which can distort or reflect light. The trick: head to the glass panels closest to structural corners, as they produce the least glare and the cleanest, flattest shots of Barcelona’s skyline.
