    Just a sample of the weird and wonderful world of Gaudi.
    L F.

    Mamma mia, how do you describe the indescribable? Even if you are not giddy for Gaudi, you are bound to be amazed walking through this unusual, unique, visionary, artful house of whimsy. It is one of the most colorful and fantastical structures in the world, and worth the price of admission and the crowds. Book ahead for sure.

    We did the evening tour for Casa Batllo and I recommend it if you have time in Barcelona. It was not as big or grand as the Sagrada Familia so if you only have time for one, I'd definitely recommend going to the Sagrada Familia instead. Both were designed by Antoni Gaudi. It is cool to see Casa Batllo which was commissioned by the Batlos, a rich prominent family back in the day. The curved walls, detailed doors, and blue water motif were very aesthetic and so were the lights for the evening tour.

    One of Antoni Gaudi's beautifully designed houses in Barcelona which is now open to the public. The Batllo family had purchased an ordinary building in 1877 and asked Gaudi to transform it into a work of art. It is now an architectural masterpiece and quite modern for its time with its colorful mosaic tiling resembling dragon scales on the facade. The interior adorned seashell stained glass and an ocean theme through the house. I think I enjoyed this Gaudi attraction most and felt it was worth seeing. 5/5!

    If you have a limited amount of time to visit Barcelona, this site should be a visit in some sort of capacity. Take the time to either explore the museum within, the gift shop, or even if it is just admiring the architecture from the street. There is a train stop that is right outfront which makes it super accessible with the use of their public transportation. This is not some cookie cutter house and instead it gives you the opportunity to see the inside of Gaudi's mind.

    Amazing place to stop by. You must make reservation many days before and ready to shell out some money. If you can't make it inside, you can always stop by the gift shop on the 1st floor. There is another Gaudi building nearby called La Pedrera - Casa Milà that you can stop by but also very popular. I will make Casa Batillo primary and Casa Mila secondary if you have time to kill.

    He does it again. I was hoping to get to go when the windows are designed in beautiful flowers but this will do. The entire walk around takes you up to 2 hours top. I enjoyed that the story of each room was told by a hand held device at my own pace. Beautiful colored glass windows, colorful mosaics, curvy architecture and water felt glass..

    Casa Batlló is an absolute must-visit in Barcelona. This iconic Gaudí creation is breathtaking from the outside, but stepping inside takes the experience to a whole new level. The immersive experience at night, with the lighting and atmosphere, makes the house feel even more magical. Highly recommend getting the audio tour--it walks you through the history and the incredible thoughtfulness behind every design element, from the flowing organic shapes to the intricate stained glass. Gaudí really didn't miss a single detail. It's also super easy to access via the subway, which makes getting here a breeze. You can easily spend 1-2 hours exploring the whole place, taking in the whimsical architecture, and admiring how every room feels like a piece of art. One of the highlights at the end is the immersive lightscape room, which is really fun and perfect for snapping some cool pictures. If you're visiting Casa Batlló, I'd definitely recommend checking out Gaudí's other works throughout the city--his architectural style is unlike anything else!

    The architecture and designs in the home were cool and interesting. It's kind of self-guided but there are audio for each room but it's totally your own pace as to how quickly or slowly you go through the home. There is also a short immersive experience at the end. I took a few pics of this one window because I loved the design of the window & how the window slates were vertical instead of horizontal which allows for better flow. Something I plan to keep in mind for future homes.

    Creative and innovative architecture; well worth the visit with amazing views at the rooftop. A light show provided towards the end for a more modern accompaniment.

    A must-visit when in Barcelona. I highly recommend paying a bit extra and getting the platinum tickets as they not only allow you to skip the (substantial) line but also give you access to the apartment of the original owners and additional corners of the building that are otherwise not accessible for guests. The building is stunning inside and out, and don't skip the rooftop either! It is Gaudi's genius at its finest all around. Aside from the somewhat crowded experience (kind of to be expected on a rainy day), this was a very enjoyable visit. The ending in the form of Refik Anadol's 3-minute immersive movie is trippy, but really makes you feel like you are inside the mind of Gaudi.

    If you had to pick one Gaudi masterpiece to explore on your Barcelona vacation... this wouldn't be the one, but hey, it's close. The reality is that you have to buy tickets to go inside any of Gaudi's masterworks. The difference is that La Sagrada Familia required making a reservation two weeks in advance, while Jamie W. and I bought the 41€ tickets for Casa Batlló about two hours before our desired time slot. Sure, they don't compare in scale or intent, but the vertical house built in 1904-1906 is quite remarkable with a flowing skeletal design and an arresting facade made up of colorful broken mosaic tiles (photo: https://yelp.to/0cKSYgVsrP). You'd think the building would stand out, but it's part of the Block of Discord, a series of four buildings built in the Modernista style of the same period. That's why this part of the Passeig de Gràcia was so crowded with tourists stuck on their Instagram app. Once we entered Casa Batlo, we were handed a tablet and earphones to take a self-guided tour. The highlights were the Atrium, which provides a constant source of light throughout the building's multiple floors (photo: https://yelp.to/JAiejV1ja3), and the Noble Floor with the mushroom-shaped fireplace and the swirling ceiling. The climax came at the rooftop terrace with the unique dragon back design and familiar Gaudi chimney stacks. It's not as dramatic as Casa Mila nearby, but there was a much needed bar serving a tasty glass of sangria (photo: https://yelp.to/46GRlYSmbf). After we made our way back down to the main floor, we were led to the basement where we had an immersive digital experience called Gaudi's Cube. Designed by Turkish-American digital artist Refik Anadol's, it was meant to be a deep-dive into Gaudi's mind. In other words, it had nothing to do with the architect himself, but it was very cool in a sweeping cacophony like Gaudi on molly, man (video: https://yelp.to/e73_YwRLv8). Between that, the rooftop lounge, and the Gaudi hologram at the beginning of the tour, it was all pretty groovy.

    Casa Batlló, Gaudí, Barcelona
    Cheryl N.

    CasaBatlló is a UNESCO World Heritage site and an icon in Barcelona, a must see for those who want to discover Gaudí's work and modernism at its finest. It is also one of the most highly rated cultural and tourist attractions, welcoming 1 million visitors every year. I was so fascinated by the phenomenal architecture that is Gaudi art known as modernism. I have been inside 3 x. Casa Batlló is located at number 43 on Paseo de Gracia, a beautiful boulevard similar to Champs-Elysées in Paris. Josep Batlló i Casanovas was a textile industrialist who owned a few factories in the city. Since the 1950s Casa Batlló has changed hands many times, and although it's currently owned by the Bernat family, nobody lives within the house's whimsical walls. In 1995, the Bernat family opened the house to the public and presented this architectural gem to the world, offering the use of the building for events.

    We purchased the gold ticket. The main benefit is that we were able to change the date/time. Besides that, I would've been fine with the basic blue ticket. I didn't care much for the extra rooms. The augmented reality tablet was also a hassle to carry. The house was completed in 1906 and is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. The facade is beautiful with floral elements. The stone columns are in the shape of bones and the balcony railings are shaped like masks. The noble floor with the stained glass windows is a main point of interest. This is where we were served a glass of cava. The blue atrium was pleasing to the eye while walking up the flights of stairs. The roof terrace was also nice with different colored "scale" tiles and shaped like a dragon's back. It's a beautiful house, but I didn't enjoy my time here. Why? The main reason is that it was overly crowded. We were herded from room to room. It is quite warm inside, with only some fans blowing. This is also the most expensive of the Gaudi locations we visited, and I didn't feel like the experience was worth it.

But they limited our time. I would have stayed much longer. Its nearly finished after all these year and one of the reasons I chose Spain as a travel destination. If you are in Barcelona definitely dont miss visiting here. No matter your relationship with religion this is a work of art. Stunning even though crowded. as with most things the pictures just cant do it justice. I feel so blessed to have been able to finally see it in person. I don't know that Spain and Portugal are places we would return but this was on top of our list for Spain. Designed by Antoni Gaudi construction was began in 1882 and not funded by Vatican or government so depends of ticket and donations. Plus construction was slowed by need to acquire adjacent properties that were anxious to sell. crazy it took over 140 yrs. So its a rare mixture of new and old. Be very aware tickets sell our weeks ahead. This was an added excursion with our go ahead tour. If i were to return to Barcelona I'd def visit all the Gaudi locations again.

Initially, I thought I knew what we were getting into but quickly found out I had no clue. On top of this being an immense building project, it is also filled with symbolism.

Enjoy!
