Your personalized journey into the life and works of Antoni Gaudi begins at La Sagrada Famila, in front of the souvenir shop on Marina Street. At Barcelona’s architectural crown, you’ll receive your skip-the-line ticket, bypass lines often in excess of two hours, and head straight inside the masterpiece.
Ethereal light streams through grand stained glass windows; interminable columns shoot skyward; and, the magnificent altarpiece crowns the cathedral. Explore at your own pace as your guide provides tailored commentary of La Sagrada Familia before continuing to your next stop: Casa Batllò.
Casa Batllò’s façade is a visual feast of balconies resembling theatrical masks and pillars reminiscent of bones. Relish the convenience of your second skip-the-line pass as you stroll straight inside and begin a tour of the house’s interior, inspired by fantastical beasts.
After admiring the candy-cane chimneys of the roof terrace, you’ll proceed to La Pedrera — Mila House (Casa Mila) to admire an uneven façade that appears to be undulating. Catch a glimpse of chimneys shaped like medieval knights, learn about the former bourgeoisie residents of the apartment building and then bid your guide farewell on Passeig de Gracia.
