Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Casa Batllo, Passeig de Gracia, 43, 08007 Barcelona Spain
On the most complete tour available of Gaudí’s work, visit three of his residential works, including one unknown to most visitors; skip long lines to wander beautiful Park Guell; and, of course, embark on a thorough exploration of Gaudí’s greatest work and final resting place, La Sagrada Família.
Your tour starts first thing in the morning at Casa Batlló, entering before the crowds – a hot ticket since this is his most popular residential work and most visited. Here you will discover some of the genius solutions Gaudí employed to solve architectural problems throughout the house, dispersing light and air throughout its many levels. Visit the roof, designed to resemble the scales of a dragon – the great emblem of Barcelona.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Casa Amatller, Passeig de Gracia, 41, 08007 Barcelona Spain
The best thing about Gaudí was that his work constantly changed and adapted to the styles and materials of the time. You’ll see this clearly on our next two visits, first hitting the Casa Mila (La Pedrera) and then at Casa Vincens, each characterized by varied skills of this incomparable genius.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Casa Mila – La Pedrera, Passeig de Gracia, 92, 08008 Barcelona Spain
Enjoy the outside of Casa Mila, known locally as “La Pedrera”, or The Stone Quarry. You’ll see why as you stand and gaze at this imposing block. At first glance, it can seem a little drab but once you learn how its face was assembled and then carefully carved, inch by inch, we bet you’ll feel differently.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Casa Lleo i Morera, Passeig de Gracia, 35, 08007 Barcelona Spain
Pause in front of Casa Lleo i Morera with its stone facade, light-saturated stained glass windows, and completely all Gaudi.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Parc Guell, Carrer d’Olot, 5, 08024 Barcelona Spain
Somewhere in the middle is Park Guell. Part fanciful explosion of color, part thoughtful study of organic forms, it is a perfect reflection of the natural world. Not least because it’s all incredibly functional, with a secret drainage system, visual illusions, and stone benches designed for perfect ergonomics. Don’t forget to bring a camera, the park is home to the best viewpoint in Barcelona. Since this became a ticketed site a few years ago, entrance lines have become extremely long – so it’s a good thing you have Skip the Line Access.
Duration: 40 minutes
Stop At: Casa Vicens, Carrer de les Carolines, 20-26, 08012 Barcelona Spain
The facade of Casa Vincens is a totally different experience. One of Gaudí’s earliest works, it is colorful and flamboyant in the over-the-top manner of an architect still developing his own style and vernacular.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Basilica de la Sagrada Familia, Carrer de Mallorca, 401, 08013 Barcelona Spain
Your tour ends, as Gaudí himself did – in the La Sagrada Família. In the final years of the architect’s life he abandoned all other projects, and much of his life in general, to work on this magnificent and completely unique church. It can be hard to know where to look on your first visit to La Sagrada Família, so it’s lucky you have a Gaudí expert on hand to guide your experience. You’ll spend a full hour exploring the church itself, from its detailed façade to the stained glass windows inside. Your tour also includes pre-reserved access to ascend one of the church towers, for incredible views over Barcelona and beyond.
Duration: 1 hour
