What travelers are saying
- Alberto B3 contributionsSagrada familia is a must see in Barcelona, but please buy tickets ONLY from the official page. Other agencies sell overpriced tickets and you may end up empty handed like it happened to us with Top Tour I never received the tickets and had to buy them again at the door.Written March 15, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Adrian RBrumunddal, Norway66 contributionsObserving Casa Batlló from the outside is a visual delight. Gaudí’s innovative design features a colorful mosaic façade, undulating lines, and balconies resembling skeletal masks. The arched roof evokes the back of a dragon, symbolizing the legend of Saint George. Even without entering, the building’s imaginative architecture captivates and inspires.Written March 9, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Joe GCranston, RI25 contributionsWe should have known how amazing this area is, but somehow didn't realize it, and ended up there by accident! It's a fascinating mix of medieval streets and cool modern businesses, but the real attraction for us was the ancient character of the neighborhood. Any random strolling here is rewarding.Written March 4, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- stellina1936Long Island, NY1,578 contributionsThe palace was a few blocks from our hotel and it was really stunning The intricate mosaics will blow you away. It is gorgeous on the outside as well as on the inside. We opted to book a flamenco show online a month before our trip. Well worth a visit.Written February 19, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Adrian RBrumunddal, Norway66 contributionsObserving Casa Milà’s undulating stone facade and wrought-iron balconies reminiscent of seaweed showcases Gaudí’s innovative approach. The building’s organic curves and intricate details make it a standout example of modernist architecture. Even without venturing inside, the exterior alone offers a captivating glimpse into Gaudí’s genius.Written March 9, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dimitris LSydney, Australia54,382 contributionsBasílica de Santa Maria del Mar is a huge building. It was built around the 14th century. The architecture is typical of this sort of church. It looks quite majestic in some ways. It is quite stunning.Written February 10, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dimitris LSydney, Australia54,382 contributionsThe Magic Fountain is indeed pure magic, when it works! We were lucky enough to see it in its full glory and were absolutely thrilled. The volume of water is astounding and the music and whole performance is so exhilarating.Written February 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- britaingreenDallas, TX33 contributionsBeautiful display of Gaudi's first major project! We thoroughly enjoyed going as a family. There are ramps, elevators, and changing rooms which is very helpful to families with little ones.Written March 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Connector755664Bronx, NY5 contributionsWe took the metro to Passeig de Gracia, it was very easy to navigate! We spent the day shopping and exploring the city. Some of the luxury store had lines to enter their stores, and some you just walked in. Overall we had a great time in the city.Written October 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Teresa CMetro Manila, Philippines1,619 contributionsSo much to see and experience as one wanders along Las Ramblas. Many stalls selling everything one can imagine. Must be aware of hustlers! Much construction happening making the walk a little hazardous.Written January 30, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ComoLaFlorSan Diego, CA38 contributionsWe had a lovely time here but it is VERY crowded. You get a timed entrance ticket but it didn't seem to matter. We had to wait 30 minutes to enter the museum. But, the store was fantastic as wad the VR experience and the robokeeper. Worth a visit, but just be prepared for lines and a lot of crowds. Give yourself 2+ hours here.Written January 2, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Adrian RBrumunddal, Norway66 contributionsEven though I didn’t go inside, the exterior of the Cathedral of Barcelona alone was enough to impress me. The towering spires, intricate stone carvings, and massive wooden doors create a truly majestic sight. As a Buddhist, I visited purely to appreciate the architecture, and I have to say, the level of craftsmanship is remarkable. The blend of Gothic details, delicate sculptures, and the sheer scale of the building make it a highlight of the city. Whether you are religious or not, this cathedral is a piece of history and an architectural masterpiece worth seeing up close.Written March 9, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mrstraveller1York, UK2,280 contributionsThis beautiful building, like most Gaudi designed properties, is well worth a visit. The Palau is quite small (easily doable within an hour) encompassing around 24 rooms/points of interest. Tickets are sold in timed slots, which goes some way towards limiting bods in the building. My visit was in early March, and whilst there were other pesky visitors obstructing my photos, numbers were managed very well in terms of providing an enjoyable experience, and staff were friendly and light touch. You can download an audio guide to your phone, which I did, but on arrival was advised that the physical audio guide was better, and it was indeed excellent - very clear, informative, and user friendly.
It’s worth having a check on the weather forecast ahead of your visit, as rain or strong winds could lead to the rooftop of the Palau being closed off, and it would be a shame to miss that, as it’s one of the highlights.Written March 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The exterior architecture of the various buildings is absolutely stunning. What we saw of the interior architecture and ornate decorative work was jaw-droppingly beautiful. Disappointingly though, during our visit towards the end of November, several of the twelve pavillions were not open which was a bummer.
The adult rate for a self-guided visit is currently 17 Euro. We easily spent an hour and a half on site, so considered it good value for money compared with Barcelona’s generally very expensive entry fees. There is a small, attractive gift shop in the main entrance building. Staff is very friendly, including at the information counter and at security screening. Conveniently, there are free lockers provided if one wishes to leave bags or coats behind; just don’t forget to retrace your steps instead of leaving the complex through the large Administration Complex. We were impressed by the cleanliness of all outdoor spaces and the visitor toilets were also spotless.
Despite our disappointment at the many closed pavillions, we would highly recommend a visit.Written December 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Be prepared to meander, explore the myriad shops, cafes and restaurants.
