About the place

See Gaudi’s magic up close

The tour begins outside Casa Batlló, where you can breeze past the queues with your skip-the-line tickets. Once inside Casa Batlló, you'll experience firsthand the allure of Antoni Gaudí, arguably Barcelona’s preeminent architect. Led by a knowledgeable local guide fluent in English, you'll traverse the house's various chambers, gaining insight into the lifestyle of the Batlló family at the turn of the 20th century. Explore the main floor, featuring a huge hall offering panoramic views of Passeig de Gràcia, and take note of the open spaces designed to harness natural light, minimizing the need for artificial illumination during daylight hours.

Visit the Dragon rooftop

Wander along with your guide through two captivating inner retreats: first, the "Patio de las Flores," bursting with mural charm, then onto the "Patio de las Mariposas," where a magnificent butterfly steals the show. Upward to the rooftop, where a dragon sculpture awaits. Passing through the inner courtyard, shades of blue envelop you, whisking you away as if you're peering through glass into the ocean's embrace.

  • Ascend to Casa Batlló's notable rooftop, which is adorned with a series of colorful, mosaic-tiled chimneys and an arched roof that resembles the back of a dragon.
