About this tour
A guided exploration of two Gaudí masterworks on Barcelona's Passeig de Gràcia, starting with the undulating façade of La Pedrera (Casa Milà) before heading to the skeletal Casa Batlló. Your local guide unpacks the architect's obsession with organic forms—rippling stone, bone-like balconies, mosaic scales—and their roots in Catalan identity. The 2.5-hour private tour grants priority entry to both buildings, with skip-the-line access to Casa Batlló for independent exploration at the end.

What to expect
You'll start inside La Pedrera's apartments, examining how Gaudí bent load-bearing walls into organic curves and flooded interiors with light. The attic's exposed timber ribs feel like being inside a creature's ribcage. Stepping outside, your guide points out Casa Amatller next door before you arrive at Casa Batlló—its façade a patchwork of coloured tiles and sculptural bone-like ironwork. After the guided portion, you'll have your timed Casa Batlló ticket to wander rooms and terraces solo. The whole experience takes under three hours.
Good to know
Book your Casa Batlló entry time before arrival; it's fixed and non-flexible. The roof terrace at La Pedrera closes during rain. Strollers and service animals are welcome. Public transport is steps away if you're not using private cars. Wear comfortable shoes for ground-floor and courtyard walking.
