Full description
Choose when you'd like to experience a complete tour of Gaudí's finest works in just half a day. No matter whether you choose the morning or afternoon tour, you'll see Gaudí's three famous residential houses and enter one of them, visit Park Güell, and marvel at La Sagrada Família. Long lines to get into these attractions are common, but with pre-reserved entrance to each, you’ll sail straight inside. A carefully planned itinerary combining walking, public transportation, and one private transfer means you’ll cover a lot of ground in a short period of time.
This perfectly planned walking tour of Gaudí's most iconic buildingsgets you inside each site without the crowds and gives you the flexibility to get up early or sleep in on your vacation.
The morning tour starts at Casa Battlówhere you’ll go straight to the most famous rooms. Your guide will show you the tiny details that make this house so fascinating, from breathing ‘gills’ to the clever play of light in the building’s tiles. Then it’s on to Casa Milà, where you’ll learn how this austere building came by the nickname “Stone Quarry”.
From there, it’s off to Park Güell. Part fanciful explosion of colour, part thoughtful study of organic forms, it is a perfect reflection of the natural world. 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. Finally, hop on a private minibus for a short transfer to Gaudí’s most iconic work: the one and only Sagrada Família. You’ll spend a full hour exploring the church itself, then, unlike most tours, you will go down into the museum to see some of the architect's drawings, models, and calculations, plus a clear view of his tomb.
If you opt for the afternoon tour, you'll begin the walking tour with stops outsidethe impressive Casa Battló and Casa Mila. From there, you'll ride the metro to Casa Vicensand enter the colourful first house Gaudí designed. Most tourists miss this, but you'll find out how Casa Vicens put Gaudí on the map. From there, you'll walk to Park Güell and breeze past all the tourists with skip-the-line tickets. After your guided tour, board a private minibus to the last stop of the day: La Sagrada Familia. Enter after the daytime crowds have left and the golden hour light streams through the stained glass windows. As the tour draws to a close, get recommendations from your guide on where to eat the best tapas or stay a little longer to continue exploring.
