About this experience
Park Güell is more than architecture and more than a garden. It's a whimsical landscape filled with unusual sights like a dragon, an “elephant room,” the world’s longest undulating bench, fairy-tale-like casas, and colorful mosaics galore.
Your private guide will make sure you capture the park’s beauty in all its richness and whimsy. You’ll decode the symbols half-hidden in the art by its designer, Antoni Gaudí, and you’ll see Barcelona from above — and the Mediterranean Sea beyond — from a sweeping terrace overlooking the park.
We’ll also tour Gaudí House, where you’ll discover a more personal side to the brilliant architect behind this park and many of the Modernist wonders in Barcelona.
This experience also includes skip-the-line tickets for expedited entry. Feel free to stay longer in the park after your private tour ends to explore on your own. Your guide will be happy to share personalized recommendations for more to see here or elsewhere in the city.
