Casa Mila, also known as La Pedrera, is Willy Wonka but an architect now. Designed by Antoni Gaudi, it looks like a building was made of melted wax amongst the Gothic landscape. The balconies curl, none of the walls are straight, and even the roof has weird shaped chimneys. I'd call this modern architecture. Who knows! This is the most chaotic architecture I've ever seen but in the best way possible. Even if you don't go in, just standing across the street and looking up is amazing!

If you ever go to Barcelona you will see Gaudi's work all over the place I mean he designed and dreamt all the big popular landmarks including this house It's a trip coming here like some twisted dream or being under some influence lol It's super fun to see peoples weird crazy visions come to life and know tons of work went into it

Part 2 of my museum day. The facade alone is eyecatching. More than anything, the impressive thing about this place is that it was someone's home, now a Unesco site. When the sun hits certain corners in specific rooms, you couldn't help but take a photo. This was the last thing Gaudi designed. My favorite part was the roof where you can enjoy the Barcelona views from the most eclectic designs surrounding the whole property. Definitely opt in for the audio guide so you can better understand the design of every room while you walk through each room.

Got this place confused with the Casa Batillo. I was disappointed when I found this out. I was too late for a visit to Casa Batillo. Need reservation ahead of time for most of the attractions including this one. There is a gift shop at the 1st floor and you get to visit different floors and view the courtyard in the middle. The roof top with lots of artwork was good. Overall, if you have limited time, skip this place but do visit Casa Matillo and Parc Guell.

This stunning piece of work is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon walking and gazing at architecture that will make you feel lost in the details. Unlike many of Gaudi's works, tickets can be purchased at the door. The casa becomes more impressive the higher up you go with the roof and attic being jaw droppingly beautiful. The free audio guide they provide is fantastic to give you context with Gaudi narrating himself. He describes much of the inspiration to have come from nature. The roof is the most incredible spectacle showcasing four elements of sculptures and a breathtaking panoramic view of Barcelona's city center. It's pretty easy to spend a solid hour to two here, overall may not be as impressive as his other works, especially the corridors, but still worth seeing upclose if you're a fan of his work!

A quicker and less heralded building from gaudi. Still worth a visit with rooms preserved with historical accuracy.

An excellent example of Gaudi architecture. If you've been to Casa Batlló, I would not call this one a must but if you have an hour to spare, especially on a clear day where you can go to the roof, consider visiting. The inner courtyard is astounding.

On the rooftop!

What an opportunity! You cannot go to Barcelona without exploring Gaudi architecture. That being said, La Pedrera is a must. I'm sure a quick search will help if you're looking to uncover the history or elements of the home, but beyond being the embodiment of architecture porn, the folks who created the self guided tour experience, and the structure and pacing of the tours themselves really have their game together! A tourist spot-absolutely. An organized one where everything from the headsets to self pacing to the flow synchronize in near perfect harmony-yes that too! I'm personally not a fan of self guided museum tours, and although this tour certainly gave me flashbacks, the modern approach to the practice is appreciated! Explanations and details are brief yet effective, and the tour takes you through multiple floors of the home, interior and exterior, attic and roof, in an organized flow that keeps everything interesting! Would I recommend this one for kiddos, probably not! Even with controlled flow, it is a long tour, but for both the architecture buff and the non-enthusiast alike, it's an experience to be had.

I took a guided tour which in my advantage ended up as private tour because my fellow tourists never showed up. I recommend visiting the coffee shop because it has Gaudi's architecture as well. My favorite part is the roof top with the unique chimneys. The attic definitely has Gaudi's signature arches.

Casa Mila is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and I thoroughly enjoyed touring this architectural marvel, learning how nature inspired Gaudi, and exploring the building's whimsical rooftop. Casa Mila also won me over on the most basic level by being open and accessible. Two other local attractions--Museu Picasso and Park Güell--that I attempted to visit on the day I set aside for sightseeing in Barcelona were sold out. Pro-tip: If you plan to visit Barcelona following any major holidays, like Easter, purchase advance tickets for museums and other popular attractions.

Decided to come here on a whim after I arrived in Barcelona as I noticed the lines for Casa Batilo were beyond out the door. Note that this was a Sunday so I expected a decent sized crowd wherever I decided to go. La Pedrera has quite the interesting style of the Gaudi homes. Perhaps a bit ahead of time. I found various aspects of the house quite cool, including the patio, office, and kitchen area. You get to see how Gaudi built the home for the owners. It's still crazy to know that there are current tenants living here that have been in the building for almost 70+ years. One of the coolest areas is going up to the attic. There you see some of the blueprints to the buildings but also the beautiful arches. You'll also see some of those hanging chains, which is a signature sight to see there. The best part to me is the rooftop where you see the sculptures of chimneys and a beautiful view of the city. At 28 EUR, it's not cheap. Some will think it's not impressive as Casa Batilo, I don't know because I didn't see it. However, this is definitely a bit less crowded and found the trip worthwhile. The audio guide helps, though worth noting that walking from room to room will also speed up the audio guide.

Andrea H.

Fantastic. Of course, the Gaudi architecture is beyond words. Casa Mila is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the tour shouldn't be missed. You're given a terrific audio guide so you can explore at your own pace, learning about Gaudi's thought process as he designed his projects. The highlight is the rooftop view of Barcelona and the Segrada Familia. Tickets should be bought in advance.

Douglas Y.

There are multiple Gaudy Museums in Barcelona but this one was very intriguing. Videos and displays explain Gaudy's thought process and his many projects. We spent quite a bit of time wandering this museum and it was interesting every moment. Highly recommended.

That unique Gaudi look...

You can't miss it. Walking by, if you weren't sure what building this was, you'd google it for sure. Taking the direct route from the traffic roundabout (and nearest metro station, as well as many bus stops) to the front entrance entails many stairs. Plan a good 10 minutes to walk up, that is if you don't stop for photos along the way. From the side streets, where I came from, there is the option of outdoor escalators (how novel! I haven't seen many outdoor ones before) for part of the trek upwards. Upon entering the ticket counter is to the left/center right inside the door, there is the option to purchase online though I bought them in person and it took only a few minutes with no line on a Friday in September. The ground floor lobby is right beyond the counters and provides direct access to the 6 main areas of the museum - Medieval Gothic art, Medieval Romanesque art, Renaissance and Baroque art, Modern art, Numismatics (coins and medals), and the main auditorium/atrium which also contains the cafe and a massive pipe organ. The exhibits were very thorough and for the most part chronological. I was impressed by their extensive Romanesque fresco collection and maintenance, and also enjoyed the modern art and Art Nouveau/Art Deco furniture collection. Walking around the total museum can easily take 2-3 hours, more if you want to read all the descriptions. The museum attendants are quite detailed in checking your tickets at the entry of each exhibition hall. Larger bags and backpacks must be carried in front of you not on your back. Bathrooms are available. Parking for cars and buses is also available though aside from tour groups it looked like majority of patrons walked there.

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.

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.

So amazing to be able to visit the beautiful reproduction of the 1571 Royal Galley of John of Austria from the Battle of Lepanto. It is a full-scale replica. You can view it from platforms looking over the beautiful, ornate carvings and from below the hull. The museum is free to all on Sundays from 3-6 PM. It is located at the Port Vell stop on the Hop on Hop Off Bus tour which is also the stop for the cruise shuttle. Great for a quick stop to see the Royal Galley or for a longer stop to explore the Spanish maritime history.

The Sagrada Família is genuinely one of the most stunning places I've ever stepped foot in. Every inch of the basilica feels intentional, emotional, and larger than life. The way the sunlight pours through the stained glass windows makes the entire inside glow like a dream. I paid for a guided tour, and honestly, it was 100% worth it because it really put the history and symbolism of the church into perspective. There's so much detail and meaning behind every design choice that I would've completely missed on my own. And the wildest part? It's still under construction to this day. Knowing this masterpiece has been evolving for over a century somehow makes it even more impressive. Whenever they finally finish it, I'll absolutely come back... but at this point who knows when that'll be. Barcelona has so many amazing things to see, but this was easily the crown jewel of the trip.

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.
