Description

Depending on the option selected, we will begin the tour outside Casa Batlló, as its imposing façade will leave you in awe. Its undulating balconies and the bright colors of Antoni Gaudí’s modernist architecture will remind you of the marine world.

Once inside Casa Batlló, we can immerse ourselves in the mind of Antoni Gaudí, probably Barcelona’s most important architect. As we walk through the different rooms of the house, we will discover how the Batlló family lived at the beginning of the 20th Century. We will walk through the main floor, where we can find the great hall with unique views of Passeig de Gràcia. We will pass through the main dining room and the modernist courtyard.

Access the dragon’s rooftop through the inner courtyard, where the color blue dominates, and where looking through the glass will make you feel as if you are under the sea. On the rooftop we will marvel with the chimneys, where Gaudí considered even the smallest details and which are made using his quintessential technique, trencadís. Moreover, this rooftop is home of a dragon, will you be able to find it? In this incredible space of the Casa Batlló you will enjoy a short time to take photos and enjoy the views.

At the end of the visit, if you have chosen this option, we will go to Casa Milà. Popularly know as La Pedrera, where we will start the guided tour discovering its impressive stone façade. The undulation of the façade combined with the wrought iron railings will remind you a seabed full of seaweed.

We will have the opportunity to walk through the neighbors’ flat, which will be like a journey back in time. Your guide will explain how a bourgeois family lived there at the beginning of the 20th Century, as the house is completely decorated with furniture from the period. Look at all the details, as Gaudí considered even the design of the doorknobs.

Discover the two interior courtyards of Casa Milà: the “Patio de las Flores”, full of mural paintings that decorate this place, and the “Patio de las Mariposas”, where a butterfly is perfectly represented.

Walk through the impressive attic, known as the “Whale Attic” because of its shape, which gives you the sensation of entering the interior of a large living being. Formed by more than 270 catenary arches, it will remind you the skeleton of a whale.

We will not forget the Warriors’ Rooftop, from where you will have beautiful 360º views of Barcelona. The name of this rooftop is due to the chimneys, which represent the warriors and guardians of Casa Milà.

At the end of the guided tour of Casa Milà or Casa Batlló, if you have selected the option, you will head towards Casa Vicens, Gaudí's first masterpiece and an icon of Modernism. Explore this fascinating building at your own pace accompanied by an audio guide, who will explain all the secrets and details of its architecture and decoration. Enjoy a glass of cava in an exclusive atmosphere to conclude your tour of Gaudí's most emblematic houses.
