Visitors appreciate the museum's informative displays and the opportunity to learn about an often overlooked aspect of Barcelona's history. The audio guide, available in multiple languages, is frequently mentioned as helpful in understanding the exhibits and the context of the Jewish community's presence in the city.
However, some visitors find the museum to be quite small, with limited exhibits. This can lead to a relatively short visit, which some feel does not justify the entrance fee. Additionally, a few reviewers mention that the information provided could be more extensive or in-depth.
The location of the museum in the narrow, atmospheric streets of the Gothic Quarter is generally praised, as it allows visitors to explore the surrounding area and get a feel for the medieval layout of the city.
Overall, MUHBA El Call provides a focused look at a specific aspect of Barcelona's history. While it may not be a major attraction for all tourists, it is generally considered worthwhile for those interested in Jewish history or looking to explore beyond the city's more famous sites.
