Private Gaudí Experience Tour: The Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, and More

If you are staying some days in Barcelona, you can not miss this tour which will take you to the most important spots of the city. Take a complete tour through the best of Gaudi’s works, and get ready to know the most popular buildings of Barcelona on this private tour.

Explore the Sagrada Familia

Departing early in the morning you will get to see the most important points in Barcelona . We will start at Sagrada Familia, the impressive temple designed by Gaudí, and not yet finished over more than 100 years of construction. On a guided tour of this architectural marvel , see the ornate towers and multifaceted exterior, and go inside to learn about the complex history of the basilica.

Guided Visit to Park Güell

From here, we will go to Park Güell, where you will enjoy the views of the city from the top of the Park. This place has more than 100 years of history and is one of the most representative works of the artist Antonio Gaudí . The main architectural feature of the park is based on A rt Nouveau , although the main idea was the construction of a luxury residential complex. Over the years, this idea was abandoned, and a park worthy of a storybook setting was built in its place.

Discover La Pedrera and Casa Batlló

After that, we will visit Casa Milá, most known as `La Pedrera´. It is a modernist building commissioned by the Pedro Milá y Camps and Roser Segimon couple to the architect. It belongs to his naturalist stage (first decade of the 20th century), a period in which the architect perfected his personal style, inspired by the organic forms of nature.

To end this exclusive experience, we will visit Casa Batlló. It belongs too to his naturalist stage, for which he put into practice a whole series of new structural solutions originating from the profound analyzes carried out by Gaudí of ruled geometry.

Don´t miss the chance to discover all these impressive facilities by the hand of our private guide!

Read more about your Private Gaudi Tour of Barcelona

Your Private Gaudi Tour of Barcelona starts in Paseo de Gracia, a still elegant avenue that was the most fashionable address in Barcelona at the turn of the 20th century and known as the street where Gaudi left his mark. See the two architectural designs by the artist, very different apartment buildings for the city’s uber-wealthy. The first building that you will admire with your private guide is the bluish hued façade of Casa Batllo. Designed and built right at the beginning of the 1900s, this is the building where Gaudi had his most artistic freedom and is based on local Catalan legend. Just a few blocks away is the stunning Casa Mila, which is known locally as la Pedrera – the stone quarry. Find out how it got this nickname and what made it a forerunner in architecture through the knowledge and lively commentary of your private guide.

Once you have taken your photos and are ready to move on, your private luxury van will be there to pick you up and whisk you along to the newly restored Casa Vicens. This was a project completed by a very young Gaudi not too long after he had graduated from architectural school, to be a summer home for the wealthy Vicens family, and was just recently opened to the public after being used as a private residence since it was built in 1885.

Then it is on to the masterpiece, la Sagrada Familia Basilica, a project that Gaudi was commissioned to lead the same year he was designing Casa Vicens, 1883. With skip-the-line entrance tickets, you will be given priority access to enter the most visited monument in Spain. This amazing feat of architecture takes up a complete city block with a storybook-like exterior showing the life of Jesus on Earth on one side and The Stations of the Cross on the other side and was designed to have a forest-like interior. The magic of the stained glass windows makes you feel like you are walking inside a color-filled forest. Once you have had your fill of this almost finished spectacular masterpiece, you and your private guide will take a short taxi ride up into the hills of the city to visit Gaudi’s Park Güell, watching the sun set over the city.

The Park was one of Gaudi’s most expansive creations with 42 acres of land, which is now a public park. As your guide leads you through Park Güell, you’ll have the unique experience of walking through an entire community created by Gaudi, giving you the feeling that you’ve stepped inside his mind.

Park Güell was originally designed by Gaudi for the industrialist, Eusebio Güell, at the turn of the 20th century. Gaudi was commissioned by Güell to create a community of exclusive houses, each with its own small garden, as well as a large public area.  Güell’s vision of an upmarket gated neighborhood never came to fruition, so upon his death he left the park to the city with the stipulation that it always be kept as a public park – lucky us!

This Tour Includes

  • Paseo de Gracia
  • Casa Batllo
  • Casa Vicens
  • Skip the line la Sagrada Familia tickets
  • Transport between sites
  • Fully guided tour

I think my wife and I really understood (and appreciated) Gaudi's style better thanks to LivSpain's tour. Having our great guide, Jorge, explain Gaudi's life and the things that influenced his style, made it much easier to enjoy what we were seeing.

A tour worth doing

We were really looking foward to seeing the many different works of Gaudi while in Barcelona and we are so glad that we booked this tour to do so. Having a guide, especially the very good one that we had, to help you navigate the city and to describe the architecture and point out details and insights into the artist, made the experience very meaningful and memorable. Don't hesitate to book this tour (either private or in a small group) as it is definitely worth doing!

- Annie Lockwood

Very interesting tour.

Experiencing Gaudi in Barcelona merits doing so with a professional guide. Gaudi's style makes so much more sense when you know the history of the artist's life and the influences that touched him. Our guide pointed out many details that we wouldn't have noticed without him which made the experience so much more memorable. We also learned alot about life in Barcelona from our guide. We felt the tour was very comprehensive and we were very happy we had booked it.

When in Barcelona...

I loved every minute of this tour! Gaudi is fascinating -- a bit over the top but, thanks to our guide's indepth insight into his style and temperment, I learned to appreciate his works that much more. A good tour that's worth taking when in Barcelona.

Highly recommend this tour

My partner and I both find the works of Gaudi to be quite fascinating. Of course, Barcelona boasts a wonderful collection of his works so to take a guided tour was high on our list of things to do. LivSpain did not disappoint! Our guide was Maria and she was absolutely fabulous: smart and funny and VERY well versed on Gaudi. She helped us to understand the "artist behind the art" and made it all so much more memorable for us. Thank you Maria and thank you LivSpain!

Small-Group Gaudi Walking Tour – The Best Barcelona Modernist Architecture Tour

Duration: 2 hours | Price: From €29.00 | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 🔎 Read 40+ reviews

While Gaudi is perhaps its most famous practitioner, modernisme was actually a large-scale movement that encompassed all of the arts – not just architecture.

In fact, the argument could be made that masters such as Lluis Domenech i Montaner and Puig i Cadalfach were more popular than Gaudi during his lifetime.

So if you’re looking for an all-encompassing look at Catalan Art Nouveau , this best Gaudi walking tour is just the ticket.

On it, you’ll marvel at the iconic Casa Mila, Casa Batllo, Sagrada Familia, and the resplendent Sant Pau Recinte Modernista – a former hospital that is the largest Art Nouveau site in the world .

Top Gaudi walking tour includes:

  • Two-hour guided architectural walking tour of Barcelona.
  • Stops at Casa Mila, Sagrada Familia and Casa Batllo.
  • Additional stops at Casa de les Punxes, Casa Lleo i Morera, Casa Macaia, and Sant Pau Recinte.
  • Limited to six participants.

Art lover not afraid to get your hands dirty? Here’s a place to learn the famous Art Nouveau mosaic technique of ‘ Trencadis ’ first-hand.

More details and prices

Gaudi's masterpieces private tour

Born in 1852, at Riudoms, a small town in Southern Catalonia’s countryside. Gaudi moved to Barcelona at a young age to attend University and got his degree in Architecture. He will stay then for good in Barcelona, building his most celebrated works in our city, from single homes to apartment buildings, churches, residential areas, so many projects in 74 years of life.

It is fascinating to discover that the same countryside of Gaudi’s childhood will be a major inspiration for Picasso and Miro too.

The Gaudi’s Masterpieces sites that we will show you on this tour are:

  • The incredible  Sagrada Família is the most visited tourist attraction in Spain and a “must-see” in Barcelona. We offer you inside and outside visits.
  • The Park Güell with its long colorful bench, the salamander fountain, and some of the city’s most amazing panoramic views.
  • Casa Mila (Pedrera ) and  Casa Batlló from outside admiring the façades of these two amazing buildings located just a few blocks from each other, on the most beautiful avenue in Barcelona, the Passeig de Gracia. All of them are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

There are many other Gaudi buildings that are worth the visit too. If you like to go a bit more off the beaten path, we recommend you to visit the Casa Vicens and Palau Güell (on our “ Gaudi the rookie ” Special tour ).

Obviously, being with an officially licensed guide on the Gaudi’s Masterpieces tour means priority access to all the main sights.  You’ll enjoy and profit more from your stay in our city.

Testimonials

Everything was so easy. We met our guide, Begonia, across the street, which was a perfect spot for a group photo before we bypassed the long lines and entered the temple. Begonia  spoke English perfectly , was extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. She not only knew all the history and facts about Gaudi and the Sagrada Familia, but she grew up in Barcelona so she was able to give us  anecdotes and stories of the temple  as well as the Spanish culture. We had several  teenagers  in our group and she kept them  fully engaged  throughout the tour. Although I had already visited the Sagrada Familia, I learned so much more being on a  private tour , especially with Begonia as our guide.
I can’t say enough positive things about our experience with Carolina and Skip the Line. We were unsure about using a tour guide because we had never used one before, so we waited until we arrived in Barcelona to set something up. They responded immediately  and were  flexible  concerning meeting times. We made an  easy payment  through PayPal and we were all set up. We met up with Carolina two blocks from where we were staying and she immediately engaged our 6 and 9-year-old kids. We went on to a tour that was incredibly informative from a historical perspective, but also in current events. And, it was great to get the perspective on current events from a local. Carolina was  honest AND even-handed . The tour ended with “Certificates of Achievement” in understanding Barcelona for my kids. Skip the Line and Carolina were a  highlight of our trip  and I highly recommend them.
Best way to start our Trip !!!! We signed up for the  Highlights tour  on our first full day in Barcelona and it was the  perfect way to start our trip . Carolina was a great and patient guide and she really helped us get our bearings. We saw a few different areas of the city, learned a lot about each neighborhood, and ended up with a great tour of La Sagrada Familia. I highly recommend scheduling a tour with Skip the Line – they were  professional, on time, organized and really fun  to hang out with!

Barcelona: Gaudi Tour

  • Description
  • Additional information

The Essential Gaudi and Modernista Tour of Barcelona is one of our most popular tours . Visit some of the most representative jewels of Modernista architecture and its greatest artist: Antoni Gaudi .

Explore the figure, career and unique vision of this genius. Learn about his interpretation of the Art Nouveau style and how Catalan architects created their own style within the movement. The Modernisme style reflects the culture and the times of Barcelona. Additionally, nature provided more than just a source of inspiration for decoration. It offered a model for building. Gaudi was able to design and build things unlike anyone else because of his singular focus and incredible talent. The impact of Modernisme goes beyond the buildings and monuments. They created an indelible mark on the whole city that leaves no one indifferent .

Highlights of our Modernista and Gaudi Tour of Barcelona

Although we can personalize the Gaudi and Modernista Tour of Barcelona to your preferences and likes , we always recommend doing a maximum of 2 sites in depth during a 4-hour tour . For example, visit Sagrada Familia and Park Güell and then an exterior visit of the buildings on Passeig de Gràcia (Casa Milà, Casa Batlló, Casa Lleó Morera, etc). Another possibility would be to add extra hours so you can visit more. Here is a list of the Modernista buildings and Gaudi sites in Barcelona city you could visit: 

Sagrada Familia

Considered the crowning acheivement of Antoni Gaudi, and an absolute must-see for everyone who comes to Barcelona. This unfinished masterpiece stands tall as one of the highlights of Barcelona.  Get up close with the incredible details of the facades. Then see how the light filters through the stained glass. Finally, go up the towers for a panoramic view over the city! 

Gaudi’s unique vision of a city garden park and perhaps the best example of his genius at work in the landscape. The largest collection of the “trencadis” style of mosaic work is on display here. While most clearly evidences along the benches, don’t miss “Drac”. The mosaic covered lizard provides a staple for photographs and souvenir shops.

Gaudi’s last and arguably greatest civic work, this building’s every feature begs further investigation. From the wavy facade to the rooftop chimneys it beckons passers-by. When you delve into the history, discover why the locals didn’t like it originally. The apartments themselves are Gaudi’s tribute to light and space without sacrificing beauty.

Casa Batlló

One of the most colorful and vibrant houses designed by Gaudi. From the facade to the mosaic dragon, this is another unforgettable experience. The mosaic façade, the “skull” windows and the rooftop chimney all combine to tell a story closely tied to the city of Barcelona.

Other Modernista buildings and Gaudi sites you could visit in Barcelona

The whole city of Barcelona is a Modernista jewel per sé. But here are a few other sites you could also visit without getting out of the city: 

  • Torre Bellesguard . 
  • Palau de la Música . 
  • Sant Pau Hospital . 
  • Casa Amatller . Right next to Casa Batlló. This Modernista house, by the architect Puig i Cadafalch, highlights the similarities and difference of these two great artists within the same style. 
  • Casa Lleo Morera . The work of another master of Modernisme, Domenech i Muntaner. This was the most affected by the Spanish civil war, but still retains its majestic beauty with a spectacular mosaic entrance and cupola overseeing the street. It is sometimes overlooked by people who are entranced by the two other buildings on the street.

The Complete Gaudi Tour in One Day

Your private gaudi day tour.

Are you a hardcore Gaudi fan?

Are you already excited about coming to Barcelona and visit the Gaudi sites? Can’t wait to see all of them? Are you worried you won’t have time enough and might be missing something out?

Your time in Barcelona is limited, and visiting the masterpieces of Antoni Gaudi in one single day is close to impossible… if you try to do it on your own. Too much logistics: figuring out how to get oriented, how long it’ll take you at each site and getting from place to place, so much time wasted waiting in line (or spent buying tickets online from home and keeping all of them organized, plus keeping track of the timings).

This Full Day Gaudi Tour will spare you all the trouble: we take care of everything and you can just relax and enjoy. You’ll start visiting his early works, then follow his evolution until reaching the greatest work of his life: the extraordinary Sagrada Familia Church. And of course, always SKIPPING LINES!

HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS COMPLETE GAUDI TOUR:

Highlights of our All Gaudi Day Tour

WHY THIS IS THE BEST GAUDI DAY   TOUR YOU’LL FIND

✓ Skip lines everywhere. No need to pre-purchase tickets yourself. ✓ Go inside all the top Gaudi sites. ✓ Ask all the questions you want to your personal Gaudi expert. ✓ Hear how Gaudi became the best friend of the second richest person in Spain in the late 1800’s – early 1900’s. ✓ Find the dragon that hides in Casa Batllo. ✓ Hear the funny reason why Casa Mila is also called La Pedrera. ✓ Learn about a secret water tank that most visitors of Park Guell never hear about. ✓ See the influence of nature in the Gaudi architecture, where others only see crazy shapes. ✓ Will the Sagrada Familia will be really completed by 2026? ✓ And much more, in a private complete Gaudi day just for you and your party!

GAUDI DAY FAQ

  • THIS COMPLETE GAUDI TOUR RUNS : Tuesday through Sunday. SOME SITES CLOSED : First Sunday of each month : Palau Güell will be substituted by Casa Vicenç. NOT AVAILABLE : Monday.
  • TOUR LENGHT : 8 hours. 
  • RECOMMENDED STARTING TIME : 10 AM (alternatively 9AM for people staying in Passeig de Gràcia).
  • WHERE DO WE MEET ? Your location, if you are staying close to Passeig de Gracia. If you are staying more than 3 blocks away, then you’ll meet your guide in front of Palau Güell.
  • WHERE DO WE END ? At the last visited site (probably Sagrada Familia, but it depends on tickets availability), or if you booked a chauffeured afternoon, any point of your choice within the Barcelona city limits.
  • IS THERE A LUNCH STOP ? Yes.
  • HOW DO WE MOVE AROUND ? This works best as a walking tour with occasional taxi or subway rides. Alternatively, we can start combining walking and one subway ride, then be joined by a private driver in the afternoon (Mercedes car or minivan for up to 6 of you + guide & dedicated driver). 
  • IS THERE A DRESS CODE ? The dress code at the Sagrada Familia Church isn’t usually too strict, but they have occasionally banned access to people wearing short shorts (closer to their butts than to their knees), deep plunging necklines or open backs.
  • IS THIS A SKIP-THE-LINE TOUR ? Yes! Our guides are licensed and entitled to skip lines and give explanations inside all sites.
  • CAN WE CLIMB THE STAIRS AT SAGRADA FAMILIA ? Only upon request. Click here to learn more about how it works, what’s allowed and what’s not.
  • CAN WE HAVE A DRIVER IN THE MORNING AS WELL ? You could, but it’s not time efficient. This is already a quite packed Gaudi day, and driving between Palau Güell and Casa Batllo is quite unconvenient due to traffic and the required detour to avoid the Old Town alleys. Having a driver in the morning means probably having to rush at the next stops to catch up. Instead, a subway ride is quite fast: only 3 stops (less than 10 minutes).

REVIEWS FROM TRAVELERS THAT TOOK OUR COMPLETE GAUDI TOUR:

Ladies on our All Gaudi Day Tour

“Our day with Marta at Foreverbarcelona was the best day of our entire stay. Our day would have paled in comparison if we had visited the same sites in our own. Marta wove the whole day into a story that built on itself, culminating in a sunset visit to Sagrada Familia. Absolutely stunning.”

TAILOR THIS COMPLETE GAUDI TOUR TO YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS

This tour is perfect for people with a strong interest in Gaudi : couples, families with teens and young adults, groups of friends… that have a full day to spend visiting the Gaudi sites and are OK walking and using public transportation.

If walking with the occasional taxi rides might be too exhausting , consider adding a driver for the second part of the tour (we don’t recommend a fully chauffeured tour because a driver would be a waste in the morning part of the tour).

If you travel with young kids or think a a full 8-hours day would be too much for you , consider visiting just Gaudi’s 3 most important works in our  half day Gaudi tour .

If you have walking issues or use a wheelchair , check with us before booking, as depending on your capacities we might or not be able to cover the full itinerary in 8 hours and we’d rather discuss it with you to set the right expectations.

This is a 100% private Gaudi day, exclusive for you and your party. There is a base rate total per tour (no matter how many people you are), plus a per person rate to cover the entrance fees.

BASE RATE (paid once per tour):

Best Gaudi Tour in Barcelona (See All Famous Gaudí Buildings in 1 Day)

By Author Jurga

Posted on Last updated: January 15, 2024

Best Gaudi Tour in Barcelona (See All Famous Gaudí Buildings in 1 Day)

If you are visiting Barcelona soon and are looking for the best walking tour that brings you to all the famous Gaudi buildings in Barcelona , then look no further. This article should answer all your questions and help you find the best Gaudi tour for your visit!

We recently visited Barcelona and, before our trip, we did a lot of research trying to find the very best Gaudi tour in Barcelona . After all, seeing Gaudi’s masterpieces is one of the must-do’s in Spain !

In this guide, you can read about the Gaudi architecture tour we chose and why we think that it’s the best Gaudi tour that you can do in Barcelona. Find out!

Good to know: If my enthusiasm about this Gaudi tour seems a bit exaggerated, it’s only because we truly loved it. It made our whole trip to Barcelona so much more memorable and I wish you the same unforgettable experience!

Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia is the highlight of any Barcelona architecture tour

How to Choose Your Gaudi Tour in Barcelona

There are so many Gaudi tours in Barcelona ( over 140! different tours on our favorite tour booking site at the moment of writing). At first, it looks overwhelming… How do you choose?! But when you look closer, you’ll see that most of these tours aren’t really complete and it’s actually very hard to find a tour that brings you to all the famous Gaudi buildings in Barcelona.

Most ‘Gaudi tours’ actually only include visiting 1 or 2 Gaudi buildings in the city. Below is an overview of the most popular Gaudi tour options like that (they include just one or two Gaudi buildings):

  • Guided Tours of Sagrada Familia with Skip-the-Line Tickets
  • Sagrada Familia & Park Güell
  • Guided Park Güell visit
  • Casa Batllo Immersive 10D Experience (self-guided immersive experience)
  • Casa Milà-La Pedrera: Skip The Line Ticket (self-guided with audio guide)

If you want to take it really easy, then the above options will give you a chance to explore Gaudi buildings to the fullest.

However, if you want to make the most out of your time and see as much as possible in one day , you may want to look for a more complete Gaudi tour. One that covers more Gaudi attractions.

When doing my research, I realized that just a handful of quality tours actually visit multiple Gaudi buildings in Barcelona , beyond the Basílica de la Sagrada Familia and Park Güell. These are the tours that I ended up looking at when trying to choose the best option for our trip. Because we wanted to see as much as possible in as short a time as possible. And out of 140+ Gaudi tours, there were just a handful of options left…

Below you can read about the Gaudi tour that we chose and what it covers. Take a look!

Best Barcelona Gaudi tour that includes all the best Gaudi buildings

The Most Complete Gaudi Tour in Barcelona

The Gaudi tour that we ended up choosing features some of the very best Gaudi buildings in Barcelona. It includes Casa Batlló , Park Guell , and of course the Sagrada Familia with fast-track tickets. (Update: the pre-reserved La Sagrada Familia Tower climb is no longer included with this tour, so if you want to visit the tower, you would have to buy a separate ticket for that at the end of the tour.)

In addition, it also passes a few other architectural masterpieces of Gaudi’s Barcelona. You get to see the Casa Milà (La Pedrera) and also the very first building Gaudi designed, Casa Vicens .

Further below you can read about our experience and what we saw on this complete Gaudi tour. But first, some practical information.

Where to book: If you are interested in doing the exact same Gaudi tour as we did (and that’s described below), you can check reviews and availability on GetYourGuide . This is our favorite one-stop shop for all tour and ticket bookings when we travel. If you rather book directly with the company that runs this tour and read even more details about it, take a look here . Normally, the prices should be the same on both websites and they both offer free cancelation up to 24 hrs before the tour.

Good to know: The Gaudi walking tour that we took has limited availability, especially in the low season (Nov-March). And because it’s such a small group tour, it also sells out fast. So make sure to book well in advance. To give you an idea, we did this tour at the end of October and it was fully booked more than a month in advance.

The best alternative Gaudi Barcelona tour: If you are traveling in winter and the above tour is not available (or if it’s sold out), the very best alternative tour that I found is this day tour . It includes fast-track tickets to La Sagrada Familia, Park Güell entrance, and a visit to Casa Mila – La Pedrera (instead of Casa Battló).

In addition, this tour is a bit longer than the one we did and includes a walk through the Gothic Quarter in the Old Town of Barcelona. It’s also a small group tour, it has good reviews and runs the whole year-round, so it’s a very good alternative option.

What to Expect From This Barcelona Gaudi Tour – Our Experience

If you are familiar with our blog and the way we travel, you know that we don’t often book guided tours if we can avoid it. However, in Barcelona, we booked a few of them and didn’t regret it once.

Here are the main reasons why we chose this Gaudi tour :

  • We wanted to see as many Gaudi buildings in Barcelona as possible in a short time without having to deal with crowds and long queues.
  • It’s the most complete small-group Gaudi tour that we found and it has the best customer reviews by far.
  • We loved the fact that this tour starts early in order to give you priority access to Casa Batllo before anyone else is in the building.
  • We also love the fact that this tour ends inside La Sagrada Familia , giving you plenty of time to explore this incredible masterpiece at your own pace if you want to and you can then stay inside as long as you want.
  • It was great to have a guide to explain the history and all the symbolism behind the architectural details. We would have never been able to appreciate the genius behind Gaudi’s work the same way without these insights from a very knowledgeable guide.
  • It allowed us to see the best of Gaudi’s Barcelona buildings in just one day without having to worry about any practicalities.

Good to know: Despite this being a walking tour, the big distances such as between Casa Mila and Casa Vicens, Casa Vicens to Park Güell, and from Park Güell to La Sagrada Familia are actually covered by minibus. This makes it possible to see so much of Gaudi’s Barcelona in a short time without having to walk too much.

Therefore, this tour is suitable for anyone in a reasonable physical condition. The hardest part is coming down the stairs of the tower at La Sagrada Familia (you go up using an elevator).

Below, you can read about all the places we visited on this Gaudi tour and more details about each landmark. Take a look!

Best Gaudi tour in Barcelona - see Park Guell, Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo, Casa Mila, and Casa Vicens

Casa Batlló

The very first place we visited on this Gaudi architecture tour in Barcelona, was Casa Batlló . This iconic building is now a  UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the must-see places in Barcelona.

With some magic powers, our guide made sure that we entered the building before anyone else did. We had it completely to ourselves for at least five minutes before other visitors started to come in. I’m not sure if they always manage to do this, but it’s a huge advantage of booking this tour over the others because it allows you to see one of the busiest places in Barcelona without the crowds.

In any case, the tour starts with Casa Batllo’s visit, so you’ll be one of the first ones inside the building either way.

Casa Batllo - one of the best Gaudi buildings in Barcelona

Casa Batllo gets its name from a rich textile industrial who owned this house at the beginning of the 20th century. He hired Gaudi to demolish the old building and build a new one, but Gaudi managed to keep the original structure while transforming it into the real masterpiece that we see today.

The works took place between 1904 and 1906 and the result was this unique and very modernistic building that many people couldn’t really appreciate back in those days. In fact, Barcelonians jokingly called Batllo’s house ‘The Bone House’.

I’ll spare you more details and stories so as not to ruin the excitement of your visit. But I have to say that this is one of the most unique places that you can visit in Barcelona. If you visit without a guide, as a minimum, make sure to book tickets with an audio guide . Because otherwise, you’ll miss the whole context.

Casa Amatller, Casa Lleó Morera, and others

As you visit Casa Batllo, you’ll notice that it’s standing next to four other beautiful buildings: Casa Amatller , Casa Lleó Morera , Casa Mulleras , and Casa Josefina Bonet .

While these buildings aren’t Gaudi’s work, they were reformed at the same time by other prominent Barcelona architects who were competing for the urban awards by the Barcelona City Council. Spoiler alert – Gaudi didn’t win.

The most impressive buildings are Casa Amatller by the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch and Casa Lleó Morera by the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner . The latter also designed the impressive Palau de la Música Catalana , as well as Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau , and many other architectural masterpieces. You really should try to see at least a few of his buildings if you have more time in Barcelona.

I’m glad that our tour guide took the time to highlight these other buildings as well. It was great to learn about the development of Passeig de Gràcia – one of the major avenues in Barcelona.

Casa Milà

One more of the Gaudi sights in Barcelona is the famous Casa Milà . This building is also known as La Pedrera or ‘The Stone Quarry’. Built right after Casa Battlo, from 1906 to 1912, it’s considered one of Gaudi’s most iconic residential buildings. It was also the last one he designed.

Despite the fact that ours was the most complete Gaudi tour we found, we didn’t visit the inside of Casa Mila. However, since it’s located just a few minutes’ walk from Casa Battlo, we went to see the exterior of the building.

Our guide gave us some explanation while we could admire the building from the outside. But the queues here are so long that it would require a few additional hours to visit Casa Mila. It would, therefore, make it difficult to see the other Gaudi buildings on the same tour.

If you have the time, by all means, Casa Mila is definitely worth a visit as well. Just make sure to book your skip-the-line tickets (with audio guides) in advance and plan 2-3 hours to visit this building another time.

Casa Vicens

The very first house designed by Gaudi, Casa Vicens looks nothing like the other Gaudi buildings in Barcelona. If anything, it seems to have a lot of Asian influence, with a touch of Japanese influence. Casa Vicens was a complete surprise to us. We had never heard about this building or seen it mentioned in any Barcelona travel guides.

Built by Gaudi between 1883 and 1885, this was Vicens’ family summer house in the former village of Gràcia. The building has been expanded in 1925 by another architect because Gaudi was devoting all his time and attention to Sagrada Familia by that time. Amazingly enough, the original style was kept incredibly well. It’s now hard to tell that this building has been more than doubled in size 40 years after it was originally built.

Casa Vicens remained private property for over 100 years. The building has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and just recently restored. It only opened to the public at the end of 2017. That’s probably the reason why it’s not as well known as the other Gaudi buildings in Barcelona…

From what I saw, none of the Gaudi architecture tours that include most other buildings visit Casa Vicens. Most of them don’t even go to see it (probably because it’s located quite far from the others). The Gaudi tour that we did doesn’t go inside either (again, it would require much more time). However, you can see the building from the outside and learn about it from your guide.

TIP: If you are visiting Casa Vicens on your own, and especially if it’s high season, make sure to also book your skip-the-line tickets in advance .

Park Güell

Probably the most-visited Gaudi attraction in Barcelona after La Sagrada Familia, Park Güell is a peculiar place.

Initially, it was designed to be a private and exclusive residential area. But the rich and the powerful of pre-war Barcelona didn’t want any privacy. They wanted the whole world to see their beautiful houses! And they wanted to live in the middle of the action… So nobody bought land here.

In the end, only three houses were built in this park: that of Mr. Güell, his lawyer, and a model-house where Gaudi moved in. I find it fascinating that such a famous architect ended up living in a model house…

There are also two impressive buildings at the main entrance of Park Guell that were designed by Gaudi. They were meant to be used as Guard’s House and a waiting room for the guests.

Casa del Guarda in Park Guell Barcelona

Gaudi also designed the public spaces, a beautiful lizard fountain, a market, and the stunning gardens of Park Guell. It’s a real masterpiece that shows how much ahead of time this genius was.

The biggest part of Park Guell is open to the public and can be visited freely. However, the nicest parts of Park Guell are enclosed and require a ticket.

After our tour, I heard from one of our followers that they didn’t get to see Park Güell when they visited Barcelona. Because, apparently, you have to book tickets online several days in advance.

Good to know: Park Güell tickets seem to always sell out at least a few days upfront, so you can’t just show up at Park Güell and expect to visit it. What a shame, but at least now you know… You can either get a park entrance ticket and explore the park on your own or book a ticket that includes a guided park visit. Either way, be sure to book in advance!

Park Guell is one of the most famous Gaudi sights in Barcelona

I have to admit that to us, Park Guell felt a bit like a tourist trap. Countless street vendors line the pathways of the park. Between them, huge crowds of tourists, and warnings to watch out for pickpockets, it was hard to appreciate the beauty of this place.

At the same time, I’m really glad we visited it. It’s such a unique place and no visit to Barcelona would be complete without seeing Gaudi’s Park Guell.

Once again, I’m glad that we came here with a guided tour. First, we would have never thought to buy tickets for a park in advance. Second, it’s so busy and overwhelming that it would have cost us lots of time just to figure out where to go… Now, we just followed the guide who safely navigated the crowds and brought us to all the best places in Guell Park.

Park Guell is not to be missed on any Gaudi tour in Barcelona

After an introduction, we had some free time here and could explore the park without the group as well. I wish we had done that! But… we took this tour with kids and it was lunchtime… And, as you can imagine, hungry kids and sightseeing is not the best combination…

So we ended up spending our extra time queuing at a café. The good thing is that the food served inside the park turned out to be really delicious. As touristy as it looks, food quality was actually top.

TIP: If I were to do this Gaudi tour again, I’d pack something small for lunch. You can eat it while exploring the park. It would save you quite some time. Also, it would save you quite some money because the food prices here were the highest we had seen in Barcelona.

Is Park Güell worth it? To many, Park Guell is one of the nicest places in Barcelona, to others – a crowded touristy place that they couldn’t appreciate. Either way, it’s a real Gaudi masterpiece and I think that it’s definitely worth visiting. It would be a shame to come to Barcelona and not see one of its main landmarks. On the other hand, it really depends on how much time you have. For example, with just one day in Barcelona, I wouldn’t do it.

La Sagrada Familia

We kept the best for last and visited Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia at the end of our Gaudi walking tour. I think it’s also the best way to do it. This architectural masterpiece is so spectacular that you wouldn’t appreciate the other buildings the same way if you would have seen the Sagrada Familia first.

Who hasn’t seen pictures of this iconic Basilica in Barcelona? But no matter how many pictures you have seen, it will literally take your breath away! There is so much symbolism in this building, so many details, so much genius… It’s impossible to show it in pictures or to describe it in words.

If there is one place you visit in Barcelona, make it La Sagrada Familia! It’s also a place that you really should visit with a good local guide. You’ll never look at this building with the same eyes after you hear all the stories and explanations behind each and every single detail… It’s simply fascinating!

Sagrada Familia is the most beautiful of Gaudi buildings in Barcelona

There is nothing that can prepare you for how it feels to enter Sagrada Familia and see its interior for the first time. Wow! Just wow!

We visited Sagrada Familia on a sunny autumn day when the sun was low, and the warm light falling through the colorful glass windows turned the interior of the church into a colorful kaleidoscope.

It’s like stepping into a fairytale, a dream… The most extraordinary experience that’s really impossible to portray in words…

Gaudi Sagrada Familia is must see in Barcelona

We spent more than two hours inside La Sagrada Familia, including the tower visit. There is also a museum and you could easily spend another hour there. The good thing about this Gaudi tour is that it actually ends inside the Sagrada Familia. So you are free to stay inside the church as long as you want. Also, now that the tour no longer includes tower access, you could try and get a ticket for the tower separately and visit it after the tour.

Some facts: La Sagrada Familia is a work in progress that’s taken over 130 years already. The interior of La Sagrada Familia is practically finished and has been opened to the public over ten years ago. Whereas the exterior is still being built.

If all goes as planned, La Sagrada Familia should be finished by 2026, when Barcelona will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of Gaudi’s passing. But even as it is now, La Sagrada Familia is a phenomenal building that has no equals. It’s worth a trip to the other side of the world, just by itself.

Good to know: The practical side of visiting La Sagrada Familia might look a bit overwhelming. The church is huge and there are several entrances and exits. There is also very strict security control. And, of course, there are huge crowds of people…

Visiting with a guide, we didn’t have to worry about any of that. The only waiting time we had was the time that it took all 15 people to pass the security control. That’s it. In less than 10 minutes, we were inside the building.

TIP: If you are planning to visit the Basilica without an organized tour (or if you book a Gaudi tour that doesn’t include entrance tickets to Sagrada Familia), make sure to get Sagrada Familia skip-the-line tickets in advance .

Here you can get priority access tickets with a guided tour . Here you can get tickets that also include tower access . It will save you a lot of time and guarantee that you can actually visit the church.

Gaudi Walking Tour in Barcelona – Conclusion

So, this was our experience with a great Barcelona Gaudi tour. It allowed us to see all the most beautiful Gaudi buildings in Barcelona in just +- 6 hours. I hope that this write-up gives you a better idea of what to expect from a Barcelona Gaudi tour. Hopefully, it will also help you choose a tour that’s the right tour for you.

Once again, for visiting any Gaudi attractions in Barcelona, I really recommend joining an organized tour with a local guide. Having a guide makes your visit much more complete because you see more, notice more, and learn so much.

The history of the city, the way of life back at the beginning of the 20th century, and many stories give all these buildings a historical context and help to put things in a very different perspective.

After this excellent tour, we also visited many other incredible buildings in Barcelona. But even with audio guides, it was not comparable to having a knowledgeable local guide.

Is the complete Gaudi tour worth it? At first, this Gaudi architecture tour that we did looks quite expensive. But when you add the ticket cost of all the attractions, it’s actually not exaggerated at all. Furthermore, you get fast-track access everywhere and save lots of time. Not even to mention the convenient minibus that quickly brings you from one place to the other…

If you were to visit all these Gaudi buildings in Barcelona on your own, there is no way you could do it all in just 6 hours… Not even in a day. So yes, to us, it was absolutely worth it! I think it’s one of the very best walking tours that you can do in Barcelona.

How to book this Gaudi tour? If you want to do the same Gaudi tour as we did as described in this article, you can check availability and book it here . If this tour isn’t available for your travel dates, the very best comparable alternative is this day tour . Either way, make sure to book it well in advance!

Hi thanks so much for your detailed and in depth description of your experience. I am planning to do just a Gaudi trip in September but I am worried whether this tour is suitable for me. I am a senior and use a walking stick and can’t walk too fast, I don’t want to slow down the others but you mentioned that’would be transport by minibus between the long distance areas. I can walk around for a while especially if we are stopping to look at buildings. I know its hard for you to gayge but do you think I can do this trip?

Ymmy from Australia

Hi Yimmy, it's really difficult for me to say. There are quite some stairs that you'll have to do at Casa Batllo, there is also quite some walking involved in between the attractions. For example, you walk from Casa Batllo to Casa Mila (+-half kilometer), but then it also depends on where the minibus will be able to park, so it can be more than that. After that, the minibus drops you off at Casa Vicens, but there also, it stops where traffic allows, and there might be 5-10 minutes walking involved. Also at Park Guell, you have to walk through the park (also some stairs). So only you can decide how feasible it is for you. You may enjoy it more if you visit fewer attractions on your own or take a guided tour that only visits La Sagrada Familia, so you can benefit of the explanation by the guide without having to stress about walking or slowing down anyone. Hope this helps. Enjoy Barcelona!

Tuesday 3rd of January 2023

hi! i'm planning a barcelona trip for the spring and just wanted to make sure that this tour includes a tower visit at La Sagrada Familia? i love your review of this tour but i definitely don't want to miss that experience. thanks in advance!!

Saturday 7th of January 2023

Hi Christina, when we did this Gaudi tour, it included access to the tower of La Sagrada Familia at the very end of the tour. I'm not sure if it's still the case - tours change all the time and so it's possible the itinerary has changed (I know that quite some tours had adapted their itineraries due to covid guidelines (which keep on changing too)). I'm traveling right now and have no time to check it for you, but it should all be in the description of the tour. If the description is not clear and you want to be absolutely sure, you can also just opt for the guided tour of the church that includes the tower access. That way, you are 100% sure. Hope this helps.

Update: I contacted the company that organizes this tour and indeed, they no longer include tickets to the tower. You can still visit the tower after the tour ends inside La Sagrada Familia, but you would need to get separate tickets for that.

Monday 7th of November 2022

Thank you for all the very informative information! My husband wants to see all of Gaudi's exhibits in 5 days - any suggestions for that amount of time. Also, it will just be the two of us - any recommendations on where to stay?

Wednesday 9th of November 2022

Hi Sara, one of the best areas to stay in Barcelona is around Placa de Catalunya - it's very central and you can walk to most places in the center. There is lots to do, shops, restaurants, etc.For example, Exe Plaza Catalunya is a nice choice in that area and there are many more. For the Gaudi sights, with 5 days, you should be able to see all of them (and the rest of Barcelona). If you go on your own, try to concentrate on 2-3 Gaudi sights per day and book tickets in advance! Take a look at our guide to the best places to see in Barcelona for all the info about the best sites. If you also want to see some Gaudi landmarks outside the city, check out the Gaudi Crypt in Colonia Guell. Hope this helps. Good luck with the planning! PS You may also want to check our article with tips for visiting Barcelona.

What is the actual name of the tour company that you recommended for Barcelona to see the Gaudi sights? I see the link - but not the name of the company. Your review sounded great!

Thursday 14th of April 2022

Hi Sharon, The name of the company is listed when you open the link, but you have to look for it ;). Anyway, it's a company called 'Walks' and you can also book this same tour directly with them. We recommend booking via GYG because of the more flexible cancelation policy. The price is usually the same no matter where you book. Hope this helps.

Sunday 2nd of February 2020

Aloha! I loved your article. Thank you so much for all the advice. Which site exactly did you purchase the tour from? I will be in Spain for the first time in 5 days (from Hawaii!). We are super excited. There are so many sites to choose from. Thank you again

Monday 3rd of February 2020

Hi Ekoa, we booked this particular tour directly with Take Walks. They are the ones who actually run it. GetYourGuide is our other favorite site and they sell this tour as well. I see that prices are the same at the moment, so it really makes no difference. One tip, however - don't wait too long because this tour only takes a limited number of people and sells out even in the low season. Enjoy it!

Montserrat and Manresa...what a blessing!

My husband and I took the Montserrat and Manresa tour for the day and the Holy Spirit was definitely guiding us all! Jose and Leo gave the most amazing excursion to not only both of these locations but also showed us highlights of Barcelona that we had missed on our own. Super personable. Wonderfully familial. Jose and Leo were both such a blessing to befriend. These two were a complete gift to us. (Our dinner WAS at the old Stock Exchange!) Thank you for your time and talent...and especially for your compassion for our interests. (The 'special' blessings of the day weren't so bad either!)

private gaudi tour barcelona

What a fantastic tour from Jose! He was both informative and interesting and had lots of fun facts to throw in as well. We covered the Gothic Quarter and La Sagrada Familia and he kept our family of five engaged and interested. It was hands down one of the best walking tours we have ever had and we have done them from Rome to Boston and a lot of places in between. Highly recommend!

We booked a 4 hour Gaudi walking tour with Pepito's tour company and were fortunate enough to be guided by a delightful woman named Montserrat. She was fabulous! We began with a tour of the old town, aka Gothic Quarter. She explained the history of the old town and pointed out the different styles in the walls that indicated different periods in the town's history. Next we went to Park Guell where she told us about the history of the park and pointed out the idiosyncrasies of some of Gaudi's creations. Mind boggling! Finally we went to the Sagrada Familia! Absolutely breathtaking! Beyond description! And it's still a long way from completion! An unbelievable, incomparable project. Mind-boggling beyond comparison. The embodiment of "indescribable". You HAVE to see it to appreciate it. Montserrat was very knowledgeable, very personable with a fantastic style of delivery. Her humorous style fit perfectly with our group of 6. We all would highly recommend Pepitos and hope you get a guide like Montserrat.

On our 2nd visit to Barcelona, just like our first, we booked a 4 hour Gaudi-centric tour with Pepito. All arrangements were made by email with the owner Jose Soler, a published author on Barcelona, no less. We waited to be picked up at our ship. This was early November 2021 and I chide myself for waiting so long to review! My review is late but Pepito, as before, arrived on time in a black Mercedes sedan as there was just two of us. So far so good. So far so better was the fact that our guide today would be Jose himself. Our driver would be Leo- safe, courteous and obliging. Jose is an encyclopedia of Barcelona history, art and architecture but above all he is lively, enthusiastic and entertaining. The perfect guide! We'd been to Montjuic,La Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell before but saw them with new eyes by having Jose as our guide. Leo drove us to some Gaudi buildings we were unaware of before dropping us off at our hotel. Money well spent! Thanks Jose and Leo!

I thoroughly enjoyed touring with José! He's fun to be with and a great storyteller. Based on my interests and time constraints, which José emailed me about ahead of time, he created an efficient and informative itinerary --on my own I could not have seen all this in 4 hours, nor would I have understood as well what I was seeing. We toured inside La Pedrera, viewed the Block of Discord, visited Park Güell, and ended magnificently with Gaudí's masterpiece, Sagrada Familia, its interior dazzling in the late afternoon sun. J Highly recommend!!

Our group of four had booked Jose for a 4 hour tour in Barcelona in early March, the second day of our planned 2 week vacation in Spain. There was a lot of confusion going on at this very early stage of the Coronavirus pandemic. Cultural sites were literally closing in front of our noses, but Jose did a wonderful job adjusting his tour and showing us things we otherwise would not have seen. While walking the city and being chauffeured around in a comfortable van, we learned a lot about Barcelona, its history and culture. Because of him, we had a perfect day in this beautiful city, somewhat easing the disappointment that we had to return home to the US the next day. We sincerely hope that we will have a second chance to visit Spain and we would definitely want Jose to show us more of Barcelona and the surrounding area.

Thanks for your feedback. It was my pleasure to show you Barcelona on that unprecedented day. Your party's very positive attitude in the light of what was going on was —and is— much appreciated. I am so glad you enjoyed your tour, because at the end of the day, that's what we work for. Thanks again, and I hope to see you in the future and show you a great time in what is, as you say, a beautiful city now resting. See you soon!

A mosic curving park bench overlooks the main entrance to Park Guell, an urban development designed by Gaudi, whose building work began in 1900 and ended in 1914. KIM PEMBERTON

Nothing beats sitting on the back of a dragon sipping wine.

Which is where I found myself in Barcelona, Spain, while touring Casa Batllo, the most extraordinary home I’ve ever visited, with its undulating, whimsical rooftop, complete with dragon scales, and skull-like balconies representing the dragon’s victims.

To arrive at my prime viewing spot on the outdoor, rooftop terrace, I passed through an interior hallway of arches meant to evoke the dragon’s ribcage.

Casa Batllo, also nicknamed “House of Dragon” and “House of Bones,” was designed by Barcelona’s most famous architect Antoni Gaudi, who created the colourful roofline, crowned by a cross, as an allegory depicting the battle between the Patron Saint of Catalonia, Saint George, and a dragon.

This fairy-tale, fantastical private residence was once the home of wealthy Barcelona businessman Josep Batllo, who bought what was originally an austere house in 1904, but wanted a residence to rival all the other fine homes on Passeig de Gracia, a new boulevard where the rich lived.

To do that, he commissioned Gaudi to refurbish the house. After two years, the house was completely transformed with two new floors added, a new main facade of ceramic glass pieces that shimmered in the light, and a unique interior inspired by nature with no square edges or corners to be found.

Even the walls are rounded and made to look like serpent skin — yet another testimony to Gaudi’s wild imagination.

As one of the founders of the Catalan Modernism movement, known for its asymmetrical shapes and curved lines, Gaudi created work that’s easily recognizable and leaves a lasting impression.

The director of the school where Gaudi studied architecture famously said he wasn’t certain whether Gaudi was a “genius or a madman,” when he awarded him his architectural degree.

Clearly, Gaudi was a genius and seven of his works have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Casa Batllo.

Any visitor to Barcelona would be remiss not to do an architectural tour involving some of Gaudi’s masterpieces, whether to see inside one of the amazing private homes he designed, stroll through the municipal public Park Guell he created or visit Gaudi’s biggest and most famous commission, the Sagrada Familia Basilica, the world’s largest, unfinished Catholic church.

In a city where Gaudi’s architecture is a major attraction for travellers, the following are some of his works I visited while sightseeing around Barcelona.

The Sagrada Familia Basilica

Arriving in Barcelona, it’s hard not to notice Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia Basilica, which is the city’s most famous landmark and its main religious and architectural attraction. It towers over all the nearby buildings, standing 138 metres high.

Work on the basilica began in 1882, but to date is still not completed. It’s anticipated the basilica’s final tower will be done by 2026 — on the 100th anniversary of Gaudi’s death.

He died in 1926, after being struck by a tram after finishing work that day on the Sagrada Familia. He was 73 years old. The Sagrada Familia was conceived by Gaudi, a deeply religious man, as a link between heaven and earth. In 1914, he stopped accepting other commissions to concentrate on the Sagrada Familia. The interior has 36 “forest-like” columns reaching up to heaven. Its walls decorated with large, sparkling stained glass windows, with beautiful hues of red, blue, green and yellow light providing the main source of light to its interior. According to Gaudi “straight lines belong to man, but the curved lines belong to God.” The church will have 18 spires when completed, representing the 12 apostles, the four evangelists, the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ.

This magical park is really a failed housing project that Gaudi designed in 1900 to be a residential area where the elite would live on the southern slope of Mount Carmelo, with magnificent city views below.

Gaudi was commissioned by wealthy entrepreneur Eusebi Guell, where the park gets its name, to design 69 houses to be constructed here, a chapel and a theatre but with a lack of a suitable transportation system at the time only two houses were ever built, including one where Gaudi lived between 1906 and 1925, before moving into a small room in the Sagrada Familia at the end of his life. His former home in the park is now a museum, and contains furniture designed by Gaudi.

The 17-hectare park opened as a city park in 1926 and showcases many of the architectural details found in Gaudi’s work, like the mosaic glass undulating park benches, and a covered walkway with columns shaped like trees. There are many photographic points throughout the park, including the mosaic frog sculpture fountain at the main entrance.

La Pedrera or Casa Mila

This was the last private residence designed by Gaudi and is known for its stone facade and roof terrace with 28 chimneys in several groups, that look like sculptures. The stairwells and chimneys look out over an amazing city view.

Le Pedrera means “stone quarry” in Catalan. The house was finished in 1912 and took six years to complete.

Note: Tickets often sell out to see the interiors of Gaudi’s works, particularly The Segrada Familia, so it’s best to get tickets online in advance of your visit. Also, try to visit early in the day to witness the sunlight lighting up the Basilica’s interior from the many stained glass windows. The cost for a guided audio tour is about 30 Euros for an adult or $43.50 Canadian.

The entry fee to Park Guell is 10 Euros or $14.50 and the cost to visit Casa Batllo is 35 Euros or $50 Canadian, or you can pay 45 Euro or $65 Canadian for a fast past that provides entrance as well to some of the family’s private furnished rooms. I opted for the gold pass and felt, while the price was high, it was worth it to allow me to fully explore this extraordinary home.
