If you like architecture and interior design, you will enjoy the tour of Guell Palace. Every floor of this Palace is amazing, from the stables on the ground floor all the way to the rooftop chimneys. The detail of the woodwork and ironwork is stunning. You realize again the genius of Gaudi. the audio guide was very good, also included... More

It is a trek, but once you get up the hill the vistas are amazing and the visit worth your time. Be prepared to spend a few hours looking around and being a tourist. Cameras are a must

The interiors are average (but I don't like palaces inside in all) and very dark. About 7 floors. But the roof is fantastic! The light in the toilet goes off in 2 minutes for economy. Simply find the switcher on the touch and switch it on again.

During the visit, the audio-guide is really helpful to understand ths story of this urban palace. You actuallty feel like if a member of the Guell family could sneak up behind you. There are incredible arquitectural details that will blow you away. Definetly worth a visit!

Though this doesn't have the fame of the other Gaudí buildings in Barcelona it is a real gem and a "must-see" for any tourist to this city. The renovation was completed in 2011 and so the rooms are in prisitne condition: very beautiful as well as being very original. The number of visitors is strictly limited allowing only about 20...
