Important Note: Tours until May 10, 2025 include only the Casa Batlló early access experience. Tours from May 14, 2025 onward include the full 3.5 hour Casa Batlló and Sagrada Familia tour, with a walking tour and guided access to both landmarks.
Your early access Casa Batlló tour starts bright and early, over an hour before the first general public guests are admitted. Meet your small group outside the iconic home on Passeig de Gràcia, where your guide will give you an introduction to Gaudi himself. From there, you’ll be welcomed into the still, silent house and begin your VIP tour. Learn which avant-garde writer’s works inspired the underwater theme in the entrance hall before climbing the spectacular “vertebra” staircase to the heart of the house: the Noble Floor. This space, complete with its one-of-a-kind fireplace, offers a fascinating look into the private lives of the upper class in turn-of-the-century Barcelona.
Next, you’ll pass through the beautiful rear patio—a small pocket of peace in the middle of busy Barcelona—before continuing up to the rooftop terrace. As one of the most popular parts of Casa Batlló during regular visiting hours, this space can get crammed with people, making it hard to appreciate the intricacies of its design and the stunning views of the city that it offers. But when you visit as part of your VIP Casa Batlló tour, it’ll be completely empty, giving you the space you need to appreciate every detail. Finally, your Casa Batlló experience wraps up, you'll visit the brand-new Gaudi Cube, an immersive multimedia exhibit.
You'll leave Casa Batlló just as the house is opening its doors to the first public guests of the day. From there, continue on foot along Passeig de Gràcia, the heart of Barcelona’s Modernisme movement. Admire the striking façades of Casa Amatller and Casa Lleó Morera and hear stories of the bold competition among architects that led to this street’s unforgettable aesthetic. Stopping outside Casa Milà (La Pedrera), learning how Gaudí turned stone into sculpture will make you appreciate this famous building.
Next, hop on the metro like a local for a quick ride to the Sagrada Familia. Skip the line and step into a masterpiece still under construction more than a century later. Time your visit perfectly to see the basilica bathed in brilliant mornin
