Didn't have a chance to see Gaudi's other houses, but went inside this one. For about ten euros, you get an audio guide as well. Spectacular view from roof top. More

Fascinating building giving an insight into life at the time. You can... More

My wife and I walked by the Palau Guell late one afternoon on our trip to Barcelona. Unfortunalely, we didn't have time to go inside, but the visitor photos make this site a place well worth seeing. Gaudi was a genius with his inspired designs. More

To think that Gaudi was commissioned to build this house when he was fresh out of school!! Take the audio guide, and take the time to look at the details. More

The entry ticket is only 10 Euros Vs. 15+ for the some of the other Gaudi buildings. It comes with an audio tour. You may want to fast forward through it after 5-6 stops (out of a total of 20+). The message is simple: Gaudi is a creative genius. Please assess it on your own. I did not get a... More
