Wonderful experience. We were initially put off by the high entrance price, but it is worth every penny. Get there early before all the parties descend. You can either pay in cash or by card. Shop very interesting but oh those prices! More

Brilliant insight into the work of Antoni Gaudi and the lifestyle of the family who lived here. Interesting place to visit - very well-restored, with an interesting exhibition on how this was done in the roof. More

My wife and I walked by the Palau Guell late one afternoon on our trip to Barcelona. Unfortunalely, we didn't have time to go inside, but the visitor photos make this site a place well worth seeing. Gaudi was a genius with his inspired designs. More
