Park Guell was beautiful! We explored the whole park. I will say the app is unhelpful and needs some more work. Would definitely visit Park Guell again though if I was back in BCN!

For those who visit this wonderful Park it would be congliabile to go in the morning at the opening so that it is not too crowded to take photos, already around 11.00 am it fills up, especially near the iconic "iguana" on the staircase. Anyway a very unique experience for those who visit Barcelona and are interested in the architecture and natural beauty. Through your app I was also able to listen to an audio guide in Italian language that provided me with some interested notions. COSGLIATISSIMO!!!

Sensory overload in an amazing way! What a genius Gaudi is. This was such a magical experience! Worth going to. I can spend hours in each of the Casas. It was easy booking tickets for these 2 Casas in Headout.

The place is magnificent! The entrance recommended downloading the audio guide beforehand, which I was not able to do. When I arrived at the place, the Palace staff was very unclear, they sent me from one counter to another and were quite dismissive.

The ticketing experience was very straightforward and I liked the fact the tickets were sent via WhatsApp so I didn't need to scroll through my email to find them in the queue. I highly recommend Casa Milá and skipping the line was helpful with a senior and 6 year old in our group. The visit is well organised so limited waiting is involved. Lifts are available although there are stairs in certain areas. The apartment itself is beautiful but the real highlight for me was the attic and roof terrace.

The casa Mila is exceptional as much good to the most know Cada Balto. The audioguide is lots of clever information while still having time to stroll around. However the audioguide sometimes didn't launch automatically near a board or sometimes changed automatically to another one as you get too close. The skip the lane tickets, isn't very clear, there is only one queue, but it moves quiet quickly. Despite these little issues, the visit was still excellent and really worth it.

It was so easy to get the tickets at the airport information desk. The lady we dealt with was so polite and professional. Picked up the tickets, headed to the Metro and off to the hotel. We used the Barcelona card to gain discounted access to some muesums, the cable car and the aquarium. The card is a must - the discounts may be small in some locations, but they do add up. Well worth it.
