Meet your guide on Passeig de Gràcia

Check in at the main entrance, get your radio headset, and breeze through security with your group. Your licensed guide will set the plan, confirm languages, and orient you to Gaudí’s Eixample grid so the building’s curves make sense before you even step inside.

Courtyards first: light, air, and quiet drama

Start in the Flower and Butterfly Courtyards. Watch daylight pour down the lightwells while your guide explains how airflow keeps the house cool. Look up at the painted ceilings and wrought iron balconies that many miss. It’s the moment you learn why the façade ripples like a moving sea.

The Whale Attic: Gaudí’s brain under brick

Walk beneath rows of catenary arches that feel like the ribs of a giant creature. Your guide uses models and sketches to decode Gaudí’s geometry, nature studies, and rope-chain experiments. You see prototypes for Sagrada Família and understand how structure and beauty meet in one quiet, brick-lined space.

Rooftop finale on the Warrior Terrace

Meet the helmeted chimneys and ventilation towers that guard the skyline. Day tours point out landmarks like Sagrada Família. Sunrise tours give soft light for photos. Night tours end with a video mapping show and a glass of cava. Your guide explains the symbolism so the forms stop being puzzles.

  • Night tour caveat: The evening rooftop show is gorgeous, but the final rooftop segment isn’t wheelchair accessible.

  • ID for discounts: If you’ve booked reduced or free tickets, carry valid ID. They may check it at entry.
  • Footwear that grips: The rooftop has slopes and uneven surfaces. Wear flat shoes with good traction and you’ll move confidently.
  • Travel light: Small bag only; bigger items go in the free lockers. A compact water bottle and your phone earbuds are perfect for the audio.
  • Beat the elevator queue: If you’re fine with stairs, take them up to the rooftop to save time when it’s busy. It’s about eight flights and usually faster.
  • Weather watch for the rooftop: If rain’s in the forecast, the Warrior Rooftop can close for safety. Validated tickets aren’t refunded, so pick a clear slot if the roof is a must-see.
  • Timing sweet spot: The essential visit typically takes 60–90 minutes. Early morning or late afternoon feels calmer, with softer light for photos.
  • Kids perk: Children under 12 go free on standard daytime entry, so it’s an easy family win.
  • Languages made easy: The video guide covers 11 languages, plus sign-language and easy-read resources. If you’re pairing a self-guided ticket with tours, check your language at booking.
