General information

Destination
Barcelona, Spain

Program details

Make the most of your vacation time with Skip-the-Line Access to Gaudí’s artistic wonderland, Park Güell. With insights and tales from your passionate guide, appreciate Gaudí’s artistic genius while marveling at famous mosaics such as the Serpentine Bench and ‘El Drac’.



After your comprehensive tour, you are free to stay in the park to explore this eccentric wonderland at your own pace. Without your guide or group to map your route, you can decide where you want to explore and for how long. With commentary from your expert, English-speaking guide throughout, you’ll truly appreciate Gaudí’s creative flair as you marvel at his most intricate compositions with a newly gained understanding of Modernism.



Meet your guide and your small group, no larger than 20 people, near the entrance of Park Güell. Your expert, English-speaking guide will enthrall you with the history of this mesmerizing park, back to the early 20th century when Gaudí was first commissioned for the project. Park Güell was originally meant to be a gated community for Barcelona’s wealthy inhabitants; Gaudí tapped into all aspects of his creative and architectural genius to design the park and residential community. But the original idea didn’t catch on with the Barcelonians, which means we now have the opportunity to experience this public work - showing Gaudí at his most creative.



Upon arriving, your guide will give you a comprehensive guided tour of the park before taking you to the Monumental Zone. Here, you’ll skip the line and enter to see the famous Serpentine Bench and mosaic salamander, ‘El Drac’. Enjoy an hour of unguided free time to wander at your leisure, taking spectacular photos of Gaudí’s creations or imagining what life could have been like for residents in the open-air marketplace and public square.



After your complete guided tour, you are free to stay in the park on your own to wander for longer through the fantasy world of Gaudí or climb to the summit of the hills for stunning panoramic views.
