📖

Full description

Piscines Bernat Picornell served as a swimming venue for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and later hosted the 2013 World Aquatics Championships, giving it genuine competitive pedigree alongside its role as a public pool. Reviews are mixed, with some visitors praising the water quality and Olympic-size pool while others describe organisational chaos and unclear information, including issues with an automated information system.

It remains a popular option for both serious swimmers and casual visitors on Montjuïc. Its central position among the hill's other Olympic venues makes it easy to combine with a broader sightseeing route.

Reviews

Today I have enjoyed swimming in the Olympic size swimming pool with fantastic water, quality, and purity. Although the center is clean, but needs still some rehabilitation. Entrance for tourist fee is €14.18 There are a lot of Fitness machines. The atmosphere is awesome
