During our visit to Barcelona, we went to Park Guell which is so beautiful! We went in the afternoon and it was really crowded so I'd recommend going earlier to avoid the large crowds. The park features the beautiful work of Gaudi. Everything was stunning and this was a great way to spend the afternoon. I would recommend expecting to walk the park for 2 hours and to eat before because food is a bit limited within the park. read more

Being an avid Cheetah Girls fan, I HAD to come to Parc Güell and get my nostalgia on. I may or may not have skipped down the park trail like they did in the "Strut" music video. Lol. But seriously, this park is absolutely beautiful. Between the colorful mosaics, whimsical architecture, and the scenic walking trails, it honestly feels like stepping into another world. Everywhere you turn there's another gorgeous photo spot for the gram, and the views of Barcelona from up top are incredible. Gaudí really snapped with this one. My only piece of advice: when you buy tickets online, make sure you're buying them for the actual day you plan to visit... not the day you're purchasing them. My ass felt SO silly when I realized I bought mine for the wrong date. But honestly, it worked out because I just came back the next day as they were sold out for the original day I planned to come. read more

Antonio Gaudi's unique architecture was literally what put Spain on my bucket list so naturally seeing as much as we could of it was a huge priority. We did a Spain Portugal tour from Go Ahead and added couple days on both ends. Plus did the add of Guardi excursion that took us to more of his works. The guides told us alot of historical details and gave us a bit of time to look about but I would have rather had less history and more time to take it all it. so much detail. guide said this was the largest outdoor bench and it's very crowded so if you are waiting for no people in your pictures it's not going to happen. I suggest trying ai to delete the people if they are an issue for you. ChatGPT gives you some free but have to take 1 person at a time which would be unfortunate with this crowd so upgrade at least temporarily to the plus for I think 20 a month. My samsung phone provides free ai but like the other program it's pretty much 1 person at a time. Barcelona was a crowded city so if your like me and sometimes really want no strangers in your pictures try ai ... it doesn't always work immediately but usually does a great job. welcome to the new way to edit your pics. I didn't bring my real camera on this trip ... just my samsung phone which has pretty decent camera. The worlds a big place with alot I'd like to see but glad we made it here it's been on the bucket list for for over 30 yrs. I def heard the load parakeets here but wasn't the best place to see them as they were up in trees. read more

This is such a beautiful park. I love all the Gaudi architecture! It was packed when we were there, though, so it was kind of difficult to get pictures without a bunch of other people in it. It was also really hot when we were there, so I would recommend bringing water. read more

I was expecting to see more with just the park admission. We didn't get the additional Gaudi house museum tickets, although I guess we should have so we could have seen a little more. It was still a cool walk through the different hilly areas with his structures and then the salamander stairs at the bottom. I guess I would say I could take it or leave it. read more

A unique park with elements of Gaudi spread throughout. We actually entered and went the wrong way, completely missing the main attractions. Was still a lovely hike and eventually made our way to the main attractions including some Gaudi designed buildings and archways. Wasn't soo busy when we went but this is a main attraction in Barcelona so I imagine it definitely can get busy. Highly recommend getting tickets ahead of time for easy entry. read more

Great way to spend a half of a day. We arrived at 4:30 and left about 8. It was quite busy at 4:30 so we stayed away from the lower area and explored the top part of the park. Musician are placed strategically around the park to provide additional ambience. By the time we reached the lower area about 6:30, as the sun was going down a large majority of the crowd had already left so we had plenty of space to take pictures. You can bring food and drink into the park. I'd highly recommend this experience! read more

Parc Güell was one of the last attractions we did during our time in Barcelona. I had heard it was one of the top places to visit in the city, so I decided to book tickets and made plans to check it out. Parc Güell, like other structures in Barcelona, has major influences of Antoni Gaudí. In addition to the greenery, there are many houses and structures in the park designed by Gaudí. The park is hilly, and sits above sea level so there are excellent views of the city. That, along with Gaudí's architecture give way to a lot of eye candy. The park isn't too large; we didn't explore any of the houses and as such it didn't take us too long to walk the whole thing. You can easily spend a few hours here though - as there are many place to stop and reflect in addition to snapping pics. Overall, I had a great visit at Parc Güell. It's picturesque and an ideal outdoor activity. I would definitely return next time I'm in Barcelona to explore more. read more

To get to the park is a feat in itself! Most likely, you'll take the metro here, get off to walk a few blocks then towards some steep hills. There were a few escalators but also stairs to climb. You've got to be in good shape to make it here! But once you get up the hill, you'll be impressed with another architectural masterpiece by Gaudí! If you're coming during the summer months, I gotta warn you, it's HOT and HUMID! Don't forget water and to grab an umbrella as the sun is very intense! During the walk over, you may come across a few convenient stores with popsicles, drinks, fruits, ice cream and souvenirs. Despite the heat, I liked strolling through this park admiring his whimsical art! I love how smart his designs are. Not only beautiful, but architecturally sound making it safe and stable for years of enjoyment. This park is huge with lots of land to cover and you can easily spend a few hours hiking it. The view is spectacular as well! I tried to buy tickets on their official website but my credit card kept getting declined due to the currency and technical error. So I wrote them an email and they reserved a spot for me on the date and time I wanted to visit. Well, I reached the back entrance and had to take a walk to the front entrance to pay for the tickets I had on reserve. I believe this is the only site that did not allow me to purchase tickets until I got there. Even trying to purchase the day of on their website, I still could not do it since my phone number is not working in their country, so I could not verify by code and they did not give an email verification. This was one of the hardest attractions to buy tickets for and to get to! I would do it again, but NOT in the summer!!! read more

After watching Cheetah Girls 2, who doesn't have dreams where they're dancing around Park Guell with 'Strut' in the background. Unfortunately, this dream was shattered as soon as I stepped into the park gates. Just like the rest of Barcelona, there are crowds everywhere, making it tough to enjoy the space. If you're taking the bus, it's super easy to get to. Take Bus 24 and hop off at Ctra. de Carmel. You DO have to buy tickets in advance and come during your reserved ticket time (though the allowed time to stay isn't strictly enforced). There are three entrance points: the main entrance leading directly to the iconic panoramic views of Barcelona (aka THE strut scene in Chetah Girls 2), and the other two entrances closer to public transport stops. Most people don't realize that in addition to Gaudi designing the park, Park Guell started out as a private residential project (2 houses still exist and can be explored with an extra ticket) but due to a lack of interest from buyers, was sold to the city and turned into what it is today. It takes awhile to explore the entire park. The busiest area being the Placa de Natura / Greek Theater and the least busiest being the Aquaducts. As some would say, one man's trash is someone else's treasure, and that's exactly what Park Guell is to Barcelona. There's park security on-site, so don't be that person standing on the benches--you will get reprimanded. And seriously, throw away your trash people!! Park Guell is an icon, give her some respect!!! read more

When in Barcelona, Parc Guell is a must see as another place to appreciate the brilliance of Antoni Gaudi. Be sure to take a guided tour so that you can better understand how the park came to be as well as the background for the elements. Moderate walking is required and if you go in the warm weather, choose a morning slot. It's beautiful! read more

Take some time to get out of the city, get above the hustle and check out this absolutely amazing park! Designed by Antoni Gaudi, obviously, it is unlike any other park that I've seen. His wildly organic, gorgeous constructions and mosaics look stunningly futuristic despite being built over a century ago. Make your way past the colorful buildings at the base and leave the streets below. You'll be struck with just how far up this park extends. Massive patios give you an amazing panoramic view of the city all the way to the sea. There are so many places to explore and admire. Just a masterpiece! read more

Take a tour. Seriously -- you need someone to tell you just how badass this place really is. Wandering around on your own is amazing, but hearing the stories and details behind Gaudí's genius takes it to another level. Gaudí... sheesh. The man was next level -- an artistic visionary who saw the world completely differently. The park is stunning in every possible way. I came wondering what all the hype was about, and now I get it. There's almost too much to take in -- every corner is a piece of art. The mosaic bench? Unreal. The rock terraces? Otherworldly. It's one of those places that words and photos just can't capture -- you have to see it to believe it. Five stars feels like an understatement. read more

Impossibly creative, colorful, visionary park that is a showcase for Maestro Gaudi's artistic genius, with multi-leveled perspectives of the surrounding city. If you can't walk a long distance, go to the gatehouse entrance to see the Monumental Zone that is all right there. Pop through the guard house if there isn't a long line. There are interesting shapes and structures to see throughout the park, but the big bang is the mosaic and tilework of the gatehouses, grand staircase, and curvy benches above. If it feels like you've walked into Disneyland, it's because Walt Disney was giddy for Gaudi and took much inspiration from Gaudi's works of art. Parc Guell is the og Magic Kingdom. read more

Impressive! VERY HOT! What Decided to visit Gaudi's work and chose to go to this park. The park is pretty big. Very beautiful and impressive. On a good nice weather day you can just sit here and take in all the nature and architecture and art. I only spent around 2 hours here that was only cause it was very hot. I went mid-July. Environment It was quite a hike (walk) just to get there. I took the public transportation. It is around 10 min walk with some stairs. The place is huge and a lot of the things are scattered Niceness of the staff It loks very organized, there are many entrances and there are people at all the entrances. I can see this place also is very busy so there are staff directing the traffic, a lot of one way traffic to help with people control Dollar It was worth it, you should spend hours here just relaxing. Yes/No I would go again on a nicer day! read more

One of Antonio Gaudi's works in Barcelona and its an entire park! One where he lived in too It's a hike up here when you arrive like literally going up a steep street up lol but once you get there you are welcomed by his crazy weird mosaic tile designs that he is known for It's got a great view of the city from up there Anytime you see one of his works you could spend a lot of time just seeing all the details and all the little intricate things he designed read more

This is a lovely park and in my opinion, a must experience in Barcelona. We took our two kids and they had a great time. I wish I would've bought my tickets a little earlier so that we could've gone in the morning but I'm happy we got in anyway we took our baby in her front pack, which worked pretty well but at the same time I missed my stroller, but I feel like if I would've had the stroller there would've been a lot of carrying the stroller up and down things so I'm not really sure what you do there to win. Food options were very limited inside the park, which surprised me there were some vending machines and that was kind of it so we were pretty hungry. I would pack a picnic and do it that way where I had to do it again and I would also pack the picnic before getting off at either of the two close train stations where we got off there was like nothing towards getting food and then we went on the other way when we left, and that was all just really touristy, not great looking options read more

We decided to visit the Parc Güell on our last day in Barcelona! I purchased the tickets online, on their website the night before for 9am. General admission 12-64 y/o: 18€, kids 7-12 y/o: 13.50€, and seniors 65+: 13.50€. I would say if there's one place you've got to visit out of all the popular sites, it would have to be Parc Güell, other than Basílica de la Sagrada Família. All of Antoni Gaudí's works are incredibly impressive, but this one takes the cake for me! One thing I didn't realize was how big this park was lol. Definitely bring a comfortable pair of shoes so you walk the full course. Views are STUNNING. Make sure give yourself two hours to enjoy this park! read more

On my first trip to Barcelona I didn't get a chance to visit Parc Guell, so when I made way back to the city, I knew we had to make it a point to make it out there. We booked our tickets online, was close to $58 USD for two tickets. We booked day of, picked a time slot but honestly they didn't even look or didn't care that we came 30 minutes early. The park itself was cool. There's a lot of history with Gaudi and seeing the sights in person after seeing them in all the travel videos we watched prior to the trip was a treat. If I'm being honest though, I'm not much of an arts person, so maybe that's why I felt it was a bit underwhelming. There's plenty of paths you can take and walk around to see the grounds. Tons of people everywhere, and trying to snap that perfect photo from the perfect spot took time but it was doable. We walked around for about an hour and we were more than good. Honestly would I pay that again? probably not. This was a one and done, glad I saw it, crossed it off the Barcelona bucket list. Just a bit steep in price to walk around a park and get somewhat of the same views of the city from any of the vantage points. I think if you are into Gaudi, the guided audio tour might be a better way to experience this parc read more

This tourist destination was on my bucket list for quite some time because I thing that Gaudi is so creative and his use of broken pieces of tiles, glass, and porcelain is just wild. I visited mid week, early in the day when the weather was perfect and not very crowded. The meeting spot for the group led tours was very easy to find by taking or the no. 24 bus. There were plenty of places to just sit and look at everything from the building structures to the landscape. There are so many "cool" places to take photos to relive the memories of what you have seen.The park did not seem too large compared to the maps and pictures I had seen. It took about 2 hours to stroll through with our guide which I highly recommend for a real education and information about the park. I used "Get Your Guide" tours and they were well worth the cost. There are three bathroom area facilities which are no additional charge and we're very clean. read more

This has always been my favourite spot in Barcelona but I was shocked by how much the experience has changed since last time I was here.

Cute park to explore Gaudi's work but for a truly breathtaking and spiritual experience, sunrise at Parc Güell is truly special. The park technically doesn't open that early so you'll have to hike up the adjacent residential neighborhood while it's still dark. But the stillness of the early morning and views of the city waking up at sunrise was one of the highlights of the trip. Take your time to explore the park after or head downhill to Gracia for some coffee and breakfast. read more

Such a beautiful park. This is so well maintained. This was stop 2 of a tour I did. There are multiple entrances which is a good thing since it's a big place. Despite being there during low peak season and on a weekday, the place was packed. Ii did a walkabout with a tour group that was about 21 people. A pretty big group. I will say, it was so clean and people were respectful. That's all I could ask for. read more

Park Guell is a historic park that initially in 1969 was declared a monument of cultural interest. Thankfully in 1984 it was re-categorized as a World UNESCO site. Rightfully so as this place is huge, full of beauty, well thought out outdoor architectural design and just draw dropping at the years of work that went into this massive amazing project. We really enjoyed perusing the grounds and seeing the massive talented craftsmanship of Antoni Gaudi. It's beautiful looking down onto Barcelona from the park too! Catalonian's are very proud of Park Guell. Gaudi's home now a museum is on the grounds that you can visit. This is a must see in Barcelona! read more

We entered through the gardens instead of the front which confused me a little bit. I had no idea what this place was until we got there. It took us a little bit to find the front from the back but once we did it was gorgeous. All the mosaic work was amazing. The large room with the pillars was also very impressive. One thing that was missing from here was someone selling water. We went on a hot day in July and don't forget to pack it! read more

A popular site to visit in Barcelona. Buy tickets in advance and note that there's a 30 minute grace period. I'd allocate a couple of hours to take your time walking around. There are a many places to sit (with of course, the iconic snake bench being one of those options). It's a cute place and you can opt for a tour of Gaudi's house as well. There are bathrooms in the front of the park. Bring sunglasses and water since it's all outdoors, and be sure to wear sunscreen as well. read more

You do not have to reserve a time to go, you can buy the tickets online on the spot and go in. It does get crowded by 12 so I suggest you go early. The food in the nearby area is very touristy so I highly do not recommend. The souvenir shops are amazing and cute! read more

Park Guell is incredible, and a lot of people know this, so it's important to book at least the week before, at least 72 hours before you get to Barcelona. It will sell out if you wait day of visit. ALSO YOU CAN BRING IN SNACKS!! Wowwww I did not know and we were so hungry and there are ZERO vendors inside the park. Like nothing, no hotdog stand (a joke, but to get the idea), no churros, no vending machines, no drinks, absolutely nothing. There are a few vendors outside the park before you enter, and we bought 1 bottle of water before we got in. And then we saw lots of people with their own snacks and I wish I knew lol. Beautiful park, bring snacks you could be there for hours, enjoy. read more

Definitely add this to your list when traveling to Barcelona! I had booked a tour to go around the parc days in advance. They do sell out fast so get your tickets early. You are also given a few time choices to go in. I recommend going early since it does get very busy and crowded. Also the sun is brutal and the humid is bad. The earlier the better. The tour was nice and our tour guide was very nice and funny. He told us wonderful facts about the park while we walked around. We were also given the opportunity to explore the park after the tour was over. Our guide explained that they sell about 15k tickets a day. He also mentioned that at one point tourists were talking off the mosaic tiles from the benches. Please don't do that. The park is beautiful and my photos don't do it justice but gives you some idea of what to expect. Definitely would recommend you add this to your travel list and visit. I loved the tour and my walk afterwards. There is a cross at the top point of the park with an amazing view of the city. There are also buildings(old homes) you can tour and go into. There's live music from local artists playing around the park. Wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and don't forget your water. read more
