Dinner with stars – Fabra Observatory

From May 30th to October 5th, 2025, from Tuesday to Sunday, the Fabra Observatory hosts one of Barcelona’s most iconic summer activities. “Dinner with stars” offers a blend of astronomy, science outreach, and fine dining, all in a breathtaking setting with panoramic views over the city.

The evening begins with a creative and delicious stargazing-inspired menu served on the terrace. After dinner, guests enjoy a 30-minute scientific talk followed by a guided tour of the museum, the early 20th-century halls, the meridian telescope, and the grand dome. Using the 1904 telescope — one of the oldest and largest still operating in Europe — you’ll observe stars, distant constellations, and even parts of our solar system. A truly stellar experience.

Dinner of the senses – Royal Academy of Medicine of Catalonia

This cultural and sensory experience invites you to discover the fascinating world of medical history and sensory neuroscience through gastronomy.

Held at the Royal Academy of Medicine of Catalonia, the dinner explores how our brain constructs reality from sensory inputs. Through illusionism, mentalism, and an interplay of textures, colors, aromas, and flavors, guests are taken on a journey of perceptions. The brain is the star of this show — and no, you won’t be dining in the dark.

A night at the museum – CosmoCaixa

From November 23rd, 2024, to March 29th, 2025, families with children aged 7 to 12 can spend a magical night in CosmoCaixa, the science museum of Barcelona. The experience takes place in the “flooded forest,” one of the museum’s most iconic spaces.

Armed with flashlights, you’ll explore the museum after dark, fall asleep next to the Amazon jungle, and wake up with its creatures. The next morning, you’ll help prepare breakfast for the animals and enjoy one last stroll through the forest. Sleeping at the museum? Yes — and it’s unforgettable.
