- Park Güell is no hidden gem—it’s one of Barcelona’s biggest crowd-pullers. Especially in summer, the ticket line can look like a queue for a rock concert. Spare yourself the wait and book your tickets online in advance. Your future self will thank you.
- If you live in neighborhoods like La Salut, El Coll, El Carmel, Can Baró, El Baix Guinardó, or Vallcarca-Penitents, you can visit Park Güell for free. All you need is a resident admission card—flash it at the entrance and stroll right in like a VIP.
- Getting to Park Güell? Take the bus, as it’s a quicker option than hiking uphill from the metro. But for the way back, hop off the tourist trail: walk down to the nearest metro station and soak in the neighborhood charm along the way.
