The CCCB Viewpoint reopens free every month: key dates to enjoy Barcelona

Mirador del CCCB is once again opening its doors free of charge one Sunday a month. Panoramic views of Raval and central Barcelona await you. Check the calendar of free days and plan your visit. Discover a historic spot with limited access.

Barcelona has gained a new essential plan for those seeking unique experiences without spending a euro. Mirador del CCCB, in the heart of Raval, is once again opening its doors free of charge one Sunday a month and on special dates, such as Sundays in August. From the fifth floor of the cultural centre, the city unfolds through an impressive glass façade, offering an unusual perspective of Barcelona's skyline.

The reopening of this space, which had been without free access for years, allows visitors to enjoy the views between 10:00 and 20:00. However, access closes half an hour before the end of the day, so it is best to plan the visit to avoid being left out. The 2025 calendar has already been set: 25 January, 15 February, 22 March, 19 April, 24 May, 21 June, 12 and 26 July, 9 and 23 August, 6 and 24 September, 25 October, 22 November and 27 December.

CCCB is located at number 5 Montalegre Street, in the heart of Raval. Its Mirador has become an open secret for those looking for different corners of the city. Free entry on specific days turns every visit into an exclusive opportunity, especially for those who enjoy exploring Barcelona beyond the tourist trail.

Many people do not know that the building housing the Mirador was Barcelona's orphanage until the middle of the twentieth century. This past gives it a special character and adds a layer of history to the experience of looking out from its large windows. Today, the space is part of the neighbourhood's cultural life, but its memory remains alive in every corner.

Mirador del CCCB offers not only views, but also the feeling of discovering a place with history and meaning. Each open day is an invitation to look at Barcelona from another perspective, in a setting where past and present meet through glass.

Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona, known as CCCB, is one of the city's most active cultural hubs. Its programme includes exhibitions, festivals, debates and activities that explore current urban and social challenges. The building, with architecture that combines the old and the modern, reflects Raval's transformation and its role as a driving force in Barcelona's cultural life. The Mirador, located at the very top, symbolises that open, plural view of the city and its history.
