Casa Milà highlights: what not to miss inside

Things to know before booking your Casa Mila tickets

  • Casa Milà tickets come in a few different options depending on how you want to experience the space. The standard skip-the-line ticket gives you access to all the main areas, rooftop, attic, courtyards, and apartments, plus an audio guide in multiple languages. This is the best pick if you’re visiting for the first time and want to take your time without a guide. Kids under 12 enter free, and discounted rates are available for juniors (12–17).
  • If you want to see more of Gaudí’s work in one day, the combo ticket with Casa Batlló is a popular choice. It lets you visit both iconic houses with just one booking. You can choose Blue, Silver, or Gold entry, each with a different level of access, from basic audio guides to immersive rooms like the Gaudí Cube and rooftop terraces. Combo tickets are timed, so you’ll need to plan your day in advance, but they’re a great value for anyone chasing Barcelona’s most famous architecture.
  • The combo with Park Güell is perfect if you want to tick off Gaudí’s essentials. You’ll visit both sites independently, at separate times. There’s no guided tour or transport included, so you’ll need to plan your route. Entry to Park Güell is timed, while Casa Milà tickets let you visit at your own pace.
  • For something quieter, the sunrise guided tour gives you access before the building opens to the public. It’s a fully guided visit in English or Chinese, with fewer people around and a more intimate feel. Ideal if you want to explore without the daytime crowds.
  • If you’re after something special, the night guided tour is a whole different experience. You’ll visit the rooftop under the stars, watch a light and projection show, and enjoy cava and sweet treats. It’s a great choice for couples or anyone who wants something more atmospheric.
  • The La Pedrera Premium experience is the most exclusive option available. It’s a small-group tour with access to private areas like the mezzanine and underground, plus a personal guide and a glass of cava in the owner’s former apartment. It runs daily at 3:30pm and is only in English.

Casa Milà photography tips (Instagram-worthy spots)

  • Book the first hour for clean shots or sunset for dreamy golden light. Rooftop and courtyards look best then. Clean your lens before climbing up—the wind brings dust.
  • Tripods aren’t allowed, so bring a mini clamp or steady your phone on a railing or bench. Turn on your grid and use AE/AF lock on the sky for balanced exposure.
  • Best facade shot? Cross to the opposite corner of Passeig de Gràcia and Carrer de Provença. Use the pedestrian island to dodge lampposts and wait for buses to clear. After rain, find puddles by the bus stop or create one for reflections. For blue hour, rest your phone on a bollard and use Live Photo → Long Exposure for dreamy light trails.
  • The two courtyards catch different light—late morning for Provença side, mid-afternoon for Passeig. Get the iconic “look-up” shot from the center with a square crop. For perfect symmetry, place your phone flat on the floor with a timer (ask staff first).
  • In the attic, vertical panoramas capture the ribcage arches beautifully. For depth, have a friend stand under the third arch. Monochrome with a bit of grain works wonders here.
  • On the rooftop, align a helmeted chimney with Sagrada Família peeking through two shapes. At sunset, focus on stair turret shadows for texture. For portraits, have your subject stand a step below a chimney to hide safety rails—35–50mm lenses flatter faces. Windy day? Tuck hair under a scarf.
  • At night, lock exposure on the brightest rooftop projection and lower it slightly. Use Night Mode and brace your phone. After your visit, step outside for a stunning cobalt-blue facade shot.
  • Use Live Photo or short videos to choose crowd-free frames. If it’s packed, shoot from waist height to hide people behind railings. Rooftop stone gets hot—carry a scarf for seated shots. Wind tunnels? Secure loose hats and straps.

Casa Milà or Casa Batlló?
