Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc
Outdoor Olympic diving & swimming pool
. Open end June to start of Sep.


Olympic swimming pool Montjuic Barcelona This is probably the best swimming pool in the world with a city view. The fabulous outdoor Olympic swimming pool was designed by Antoni de Moragas and built in 1992 for the diving events of the Barcelona Olympics.  It is open to the public in July and August only. The Olympic diving and swimming pool has a seating capacity of 4.100 spectators and the panoramic views of the city provide a unique backdrop for diving events, The pool was designed as a competition pool only and is not part of a sports centre, so there are no other facilities. Also it should be said that the changing rooms are pretty run-down now many years after the olympic games in Barcelona. There are no deckchairs for sunbathing, and no food or drink on sale, so it it advisable to bring your own refreshments and a thick towel to lie on.  But the pool itself and the views are unbeatable. This pool was used by Kylie Minogue in her video "Slow" in 2003.
