We only viewed Casa Battlo from the outside due to the high entrance fee. The shapes and fluid lines were just wonderful. It looked even more magical at night with the lights on.

This was my favorite. I loved the explanation of how this building is like the dragon from St.George and the dragon - best tour. I recommend doing the Gaudi bus tour - do both parts - it will hit all the main attractions with a guide. Gaudi was a genius and this was his best work.

The house itself is absolutely smashing. If you like architecture, cutting edge thinking art of its time, Casa Batllo will not disappoint you. What really surprised me positively though, was the included audio tour that gave a great introduction to the rooms and ideas of Gaudi. All the visitors walked around silently listening to the tour phone pressad closely to... More

I have not been inside (they say, there are excursions for 14 euro with Bus Turistic discount), only looked at it from Passeig de Gracia. Its roof is like dragon scale, its facade made with mosaic, its balconies look like carnival masks. Fantastic thing! Wish I could see it inside. Probably next time...

Maybe I don't have the right mentality to find a place like this interesting. It cost over 20 euros to get in which includes an audio guide. Yes, the design is very interesting and unique, but it gets redundant quickly. The audio guide descriptions are very long winded and often include a series of hypotheses about what Gaudi was thinking... More

Beautiful house - a must when in Barcelona - a "wow" experience. Cross the street and look from there to have a better view of this magnificent building.

Don't waste your time going into Sagrada Familia as it is forever under construction and La Pedrera is boring. If you only have 1 attraction in mind the this is the 1 that you must go. Ticket include the audio guide and the whole building is so interesting that you won't even feel like leaving so soon. Every little details... More

Unfortunately we didn't have time to visit this Gaudi house but we could enjoy the wonderful and unique architecture from outside, all those beautifully shaped balconies, a great experience!

This is a most beautiful and interesting place. If I could only visit either here or La Pedrera it would be here, although La Pedrera is worth a visit also. But the colours, shapes, ingenuity and wacky (at times) design here is captivating.
