Park Guell is one of the most popular attractions in Barcelona, attracting people from all over the world. The architecture, the views, and the beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage site are unlike anything you will find in Europe, making it a must-visit destination for those in Barcelona. Plan your trip properly to get the most out of your experience. Here are a few tips to keep in mind to make the best of your visit.
Tips For Visiting Park Guell
- Buy your ticket online to avoid the lines. Park Guell is an extremely popular attraction and it would be safe to assume that the lines to get into Park Guell can be very long, especially during the summer months. Save yourself some time by buying your ticket online ahead of time.
- Park Guell is free for Barcelona residents. If you are a resident of neighborhoods adjacent to the park including La Salut, El Coll, El Carmel, Can Baró, El Baix Guinardó, and Vallcarca-Penitents can avail of free access using an admission card.
- We recommend that you take the bus while going to the park as it is faster than walking uphill from the metro station. However, on your way back, you can take the metro. You can walk up to the Metro Station and get a feel of the locality in the evening.
- Get there on a weekday if possible. Weekends tend to be extremely busy, so if you can, try to go during the week for a less crowded experience. The mornings are the best time to visit Park Güell as it is usually less crowded and the weather stays pleasant. Visiting the park in the afternoon may not be such a great idea, especially during the summer month.
- Wear comfortable shoes. You will thank us later for this one! The park is on a hill and you will be walking a lot because it is huge, so wear your comfortable clothes and sturdy footwear. Carry a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen lotion, to protect yourself from the heat.
- Carry water and snacks with you. If you are planning to explore all parts of Park Guell, you may be spending hours walking and trekking through its grounds and archways. The rewarding experience will be just as tiring, and so you need to keep yourself fed and hydrated.
- Park Guell has plenty of washrooms all over the park. Keep a map at hand to easily locate them.
- Take advantage of the many picnic areas throughout the park to relax and grab a bite in between.
- If you're looking for souvenirs or unique gifts to bring back home, be sure to check out the Park Guell souvenir shop. Pick up some postcards and mugs that feature Gaudi's designs.
- Inside, visitors can explore the park at their own pace and leisure around at their leisure. Do try to explore the Biodiversity Route to get a glimpse of the diverse flora and fauna that the park houses.
- It's no surprise that there are plenty of things to see inside Park Guell. So, make sure to plan your visit in a way that you have plenty of time to explore the park.
- Use the free Park Güell App. With all of the restrictions in place, it can be difficult to know where you are allowed to go and what you are allowed to see. The Park Güell App will help you navigate your way around the park and make the most of your time there.
