    The house was built between 1883-1885 and is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. I did a self-guided visit and used my phone to guide me through the various rooms. I admired the facade of the house and how there are aspects of nature inside/outside. I enjoyed my experience here as it wasn't as crowded as the other Gaudi buildings. I was able to take my time.

    Decided last minute to go and able to get tickets. Very cool, great audio tour but I was disappointed that there was no furniture in the rooms. The rooftop view is awesone. The Gaudi historical info and his design are def worth the visit. I enjoyed Casa Mila more but still enjoyed today's.

    If you're into unique architecture and wanting to know a bit more about Gaudi's history within Barcelona, highly recommend booking a reservation for a tour here. It takes about an hour or so but you then have time to roam the house as long as you'd like and take as many pictures as you want. Offer tours in English, Spanish and Chinese you do need a reservation for the tour. This is a nice alternative experience if you're not able to get tickets for Park Güell.

    We just bought tickets as we arrived. The house is one of the smaller ones, should take about 1.5 hrs or less. It's still worth checking out but the cost of admission should be less. Employees were all nice. Not very crowded.

    Gaudi's first house design is an extravagant and stunning example of his work with an exceptionally fine interior restoration. Not too crowded even on the weekend and a delight for anyone who loves architecture.

    Another one of Gaudi's UNESCO World Heritage masterpieces. Due to the covid it was closed to visits, but still we got to enjoy the playfulness visible from the outside. As my daughter had stated it..it's like we stepped inside of Alice in the Wonderland book.

    This is one of my favorite Gaudi masterpieces! It's gorgeous from the entrance to the cafe and in every part of the house. The textiles are intricate and the colors are rich. I came on a weekday around noon to find the place relatively quiet which was great for photographs. The lack of crowds also allowed me to take in what each room of the casa had to offer. There's even a terrace which provides some awesome views of the city. Casa Vicens is gorgeous and should definitely be added to your Barcelona sites list!

    Cutest house ever! Must come see this if you're a fan of Gaudi and love architecture. Every room has its own uniqueness in it and it is so well designed. I love the patterns in each room. My favorite room will have to be the smoking room. I love the patio and also the small balcony in one of the rooms upstairs. I was so fascinated and adored this house so much. Would love to have a summer beach house like this. I definitely recommend coming to check this house out.

    An amazing look at Gaudis home. The design of this building is just something you have to experience in person. We did not do the tour, but just seeing it was a great experience.

    Gingerbread House!

    Casa Vicens was 4 of 7 sites I visited created by Antoni Gaudi. The highlight of my trip in Barcelona was seeing Antoni Gaudi's creations. His architecture is so creative and you are just sucked into it. Vicens was like staring at a life size gingerbread house. Awesome whimsical design. The green and red colors were nice. Again, everything was super symmetrical and lined up perfectly. The square white/green trim was unique. Smaller of the stand alone buildings I saw by Gaudi but there was a metal balcony and gates. I liked the open balcony design.

    Under construction

    I just visited the Park Güell and was wandering around this area. And just saw the Casa Vicens quite close to me on the map. So I decided to have a look of this plave. Too bad for me, when I was here, the place was in construction. I only got a look of the one side of the building. It looked the whole place will be under construction for awhile. Well, even just a small corner. It still looks pretty. I might visit this place again, next time when I am in Barcelona again.

    When researching popular tourist destinations in Barcelona, Casa Batlló came up on many a list. I…read morelike to take in museums and other historical structures whenever I visit a new city, so this sounded perfect. That being said, I purchased tickets for us to explore during our first full day in the city. Casa Batlló is one of several structures in Barcelona designed by Antoni Gaudí. I believe this was originally designed as a private residence, and has since become a showcase of the type of work Gaudí produced. The visits are self-guided, and once you enter you are given an audio guide that you can use throughout the house that provides information about the space you're in. The house itself is gorgeous. It's so intricately designed with different themes throughout the space. The audio guide really helped here as it told the history behind each room. I found myself snapping tons of pictures, or just standing there and taking it all in. As expected, there were a couple of gift shops, and some interactive exhibits scattered throughout the house as well. Note that not all spaces are open to all guests, it depends on the type of ticket you buy; that being said, even if you get the base ticket you will see a lot. Also, this place naturally attracts Instagrammers - be aware there are lots of people posing for the camera, Overall, Casa Batlló was an awesome experience. It was my first taste of Gaudí's influence on the city, and I would definitely return for another visit.

    I have visited more churches/cathedrals than i can count but this was so unique. Love those huge…read moregothic churches but they are dark inside. This was stunningly and lots of light. The colored rays from the stained glass was breathtaking and like nothing I've even seen. I hear it changes at different times of day. The outside can be seem from miles away due the the size but once right there the details are so interesting. We signed up for guardi excursion and they got us in quicker as the lines are ridiculous. 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.

    This was more than I expected it to be. Our tour was amazing! If you can, book a tour. Our guide…read morewas very passionate and knowledgeable about the basilica. 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. Everything in the cathedral has a declarative and deliberate purpose, nothing is random. Also, there is a fantastically assembled museum under the church. Don't miss out on this amazing experience. Enjoy!

I stopped in here based on a recommendation from a colleague. My whole family is made up of history teachers so I love getting to visit sites like this. The upper floors of the museum have some artifacts and do a nice job providing a high level overview of the history of Barcelona. It starts with Barcelona as a Roman Colony and goes through the modern era. The main attraction though is ruins underground. You can see artifacts from the Roman Era and Medieval Era. It was really neat. Mostly it is just foundations, but there are some tiled areas that take you back in time. The cost is modest, and your ticket is good for several days. It was a great way to spend ~1.5 hours learning about Barcelona.
