What to expect

You'll walk through rooms designed without right angles, observe how Gaudí adapted the building to Barcelona's Passeig de Gràcia street, and climb to the roofscape where ceramic forms resemble a dragon's spine. The guide highlights practical innovations—ventilation systems, natural light distribution, servant quarters—alongside aesthetic choices. Expect to stand frequently and navigate narrow staircases. Interior temperature fluctuates; dress in layers. Photography is allowed in most areas.
