Llums de Sant Pau 2026: Little Prince, tickets from €10

If you have kids, nieces and nephews or just want Christmas to hit you all at once, note this down: from 19 November to 10 January, the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site becomes a trail of lights devoted to The Little Prince. And the trick is that November is much cheaper.

Quick answer: Els Llums de Sant Pau 2026 runs from 19 November 2026 to 10 January 2027 (closed 24 and 31 December and 5 January). Tickets cost from €10 on Monday to Thursday nights in November. Sessions start between 6 pm and 9 pm.

What is it? A Christmas light trail through Sant Pau’s Art Nouveau pavilions, inspired this year by The Little Prince.

Why go? It’s the book’s official experience, it premieres in Barcelona and it has an ice rink.

What’s special this year?

It’s the sixth edition and the most different one: for the first time it’s the official Little Prince experience, with its world premiere here at Sant Pau. There are projections on the pavilions, interactive installations, live characters and a little theatre with a puppet show.

Two things I love for families:

The explorer passport, which you fill in along the trail.
Narration in Catalan, Spanish, English and French, so it works for visiting family too.

At the end there’s a food area and a shop with Little Prince goodies.

What are the cheapest days to go?

The price depends on the day, and the difference is big:

Prince Days: Monday to Thursday nights in November, six in total. From €10. By far the cheapest.
Reduced-rate days: Monday to Thursday from 1 to 17 December and from 4 to 10 January. €14.90 (€12.40 concession).
Standard-rate days: Fridays, weekends, holidays, the eves of holidays and 21 December to 3 January. €17.90 (€15.40 concession).
Flexible ticket, valid any day: €25.50.

Concessions are for under-18s (ages 3 to 17), students, over-65s and people with disabilities. Children up to 3 go in free. Booking fees are added to all tickets.

My advice: if you can, go on a Monday or Tuesday in November. You pay less and it’s quieter.

What time are the sessions?

Sessions start between 6 pm and 9 pm on every opening day. Be on time: you can go in up to 30 minutes after your ticket time, but not before. The site closes an hour and a half after the last session.

How does the ice rink work?

Yes, the ice rink is back, and it’s real ice. What you need to know:

It costs €6 to €12.
It can only be bought with an Els Llums ticket: it isn’t sold separately.
Gloves are compulsory. Bring your own.
Under-4s can’t skate, and children aged 4 to 11 must be with an adult who has a ticket.

All the other rinks in the city are in ice skating in Barcelona this Christmas.

How to get to Sant Pau

Take metro L5 to Sant Pau | Dos de Maig, two minutes away. If you’re coming from the Sagrada Família, walk up Avinguda de Gaudí: it takes ten minutes and it’s one of the prettiest night walks in the Eixample.
