Hospital de Sant Pau | Is it worth visiting in Barcelona?

[@RobertGannon-x4u]

The amazing thing for me is that I had been to Barcelona 7 times before , and I had actually never heard of the the hospital, that is until just a few weeks ago. I just returned from Barcelona yesterday, and undoubtedly the Hospital Saint Pau was the highlight!! It is an extraordinary collection of buildings, or pavilions. Obviously built as a functioning hospital, but what makes it extraordinary is the artistic flourishes which adorn the buildings, they are just stunning!! it is also very well documented, that is the visitor will know and understand the creation, history and function of the hospital through the decades. You will come away well informed about it. I would urge anyone visiting Barcelona, to make the hospital a high priority to see. It is just fantastic!!

I can't wait for my trip to barcelona in September.

Just visited this a few weeks ago and it was one of the highlights of our European tour. It's spectacular!!

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

It really is something else!

[@susanacampos123]

Looking forward to seeing it! should be there around Friday can't wait! Thank you for the intro!

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

You’re welcome Susana

[@JDM_000]

Great job, Patrick! Really enjoyed the video!

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Thank you! That was my first real video. I’d like to think I’ve come a long way since then

I visited Barcelona this past October and this hospital was the highlight of my trip. Seriously, I found myself more impressed with this particular architectural wonder than anything else I saw. In fairness though, with the exception of Park Guell, I only saw the outside of the many famous Gaudi designed buildings. Saved inside tours for a future visit when I hope to have more time to explore.

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

It really is a good one! I think not having the hype the other buildings do is what surprises so many!

[@pilarguerrero12874]

I was there in 2012 when it was still a hospital, I could only walk around one of the patios and it was breathtaking! So peaceful and beautiful. The main halls were under restoration, so they were closed to the public. I will go back soon and see it again with my very own eyes!

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

It’s beautiful isn’t it?

[@LiveLoveLaugh22]

lol ** not that rock- ** not that room.. that cracked me up. Thx for the video 🌸

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

😂😂 glad you enjoyed it

[@LiveLoveLaugh22]

@@PatrickGuideBarcelonaBTW, I met you this past summer., out by the waterfront. Thx for helping me & my family figure out how to get to the city center by taking the bus from the airport ☺️

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Oh! You’re very welcome

[@garykent402]

Great video, last time i visited Barcelona i arrived just as it was closing so was unable to go in. I will be there again in March next year, i intend to see it then.

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

You’ll have to go then! Great visit. Very impressive

[@pattykelly3582]

It’s beautiful. Can’t wait to see it in person. Thanks for the tour

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

You're welcome! Something to do on your next trip!

[@LukeShahinian]

Awesome tour! I've been inside the old hospital de la santa creu in raval so many times, but never learned the history before. Very cool, thanks Patrick!

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Glad you enjoyed Luke! You're welcome!

[@smitty6253]

Amazing insight and anyone that is going to Barcelona needs to have Patrick as their tour guide!!!

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Thanks for the shout out Brandon!

[@janna1878]

I appreciate your video, as we will be visiting for two weeks in Barcelona this May. I love the camera work and your commentary, but the super pepped up music is really distracting and doesn't work with the beauty of the video. Still, it's lovely to see. Thank you

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Thank you. You are not alone in that opinion. Just hope that I have improved on the videos since then

[@commercialbreakindonesia]

nice vintage architecture, you should come to lawang sewu at semarang, indonesia

მადლობა , კარგი იყო .... წელს ვაპირებ მოვინახულო ჰოსპიტალი :)💚

[@ireneseverova2369]

Absolutely gorgeous place! 😍

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Agree

[@votre_nom]

I've been going to ibiza twice a year for years but I can't get used to these youtubers' videos where there is such a gap between the image and the sound. Why put fairground music on this video?

[@leyilin535]

Great video Patrick. Is this complex too big for young kids ? Is it similar to the Palau de la musica or are both worth seeing ? Thank you.

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Hi Leto! Young kids would be fine there. It’s not too big. Bigger than the Palau

[@olgitad4693]

Hi, Patrick. I am wondering how much will be 4 hour tour for 2 people. Thanks for the great and very informative video.

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Please send all requests by email! Thank you

[@kuka.fernandez]

Great Patrick!!!

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Thank you!

[@food_trip_ni_jen6563]

Nice! I would definitely include in my must see list! do we need to pay for entrance ?

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Awesome. Yes, you pay to enter. Check their website for all the details!

[@pabloviaje]

thanks

[@juliemelik1223]

Thanks for the tour of the hospitals! Do you give tours of Barcelona?

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Yes. Feel free to reach out by email!

[@duduxiaozhu7874]

Will visit Barcelona soon. :) Could someone pls tell me how long the tour takes approximately?

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

About an hour

[@logobot]

Good video and content. Horrendous and out of place music.

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

First attempt 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for your feedback

[@lisapozo9666]

Great information, but the music could be worlds better. Why not an acoustic guitar solo from a Barcelona artist instead of insipid selection of robotic soulless electronica?
