Outdoor walks and façade observations. Interior admission is not included.

The full story

Beside Casa Batlló, Casa Amatller pairs a sharply stepped façade with a preserved main-floor interior. Its contrast with Gaudí’s neighbouring house is visible even if you stay on Passeig de Gràcia.

Josep Puig i Cadafalch designed this home for chocolatier Antoni Amatller, giving the block a more angular answer to Gaudí’s curves. A main-floor visit reveals decorated domestic rooms and original furnishings, so it offers a different kind of Modernista encounter from a façade-only walk. Compare both neighbouring houses before deciding whether to go inside.

  • The stepped gable rising over Passeig de Gràcia.
  • The abrupt change in shape beside Casa Batlló.
  • Restored decoration and original furnishings on the main floor.

Compare the façade with Casa Batlló from the opposite pavement.

Choose a main-floor visit if domestic interiors are the draw; check the current visit format before going.

Avinguda DiagonalPlaces

Avinguda Diagonal

Diagonal cuts across Barcelona’s Eixample grid for a long distance. Pick one stretch to walk; the whole avenue is too broad to treat as a single stop.

Barcelona CathedralPlaces

Architecture / Art

Barcelona Cathedral

Barcelona Cathedral anchors the Gothic Quarter with a large church, cloister and rooftop view. The thirteen white geese make the cloister memorable; the roof adds a wider sense of the old city.

MACBAPlaces

MACBA

MACBA puts contemporary art inside Richard Meier's bright, geometric building on Plaça dels Àngels. Visit for the exhibitions and for the striking contrast with El Raval's older streets.

Barcelona Zoo

Barcelona Zoo is a dedicated animal and conservation visit inside Parc de la Ciutadella. It needs a separate block of time from a casual park walk, especially with children.

Basilica of Our Lady of Mercy

Near the waterfront side of the old city, this Baroque basilica faces Plaça de la Mercè. Its religious role remains active, so a quiet church visit fits best around services.

CaixaForum BarcelonaPlaces

CaixaForum Barcelona

CaixaForum stages exhibitions inside the former Casaramona textile factory near Montjuïc’s exposition grounds. Visit for the combination of contemporary cultural programming and Puig i Cadafalch’s industrial architecture.

Casa BatllóPlaces

Catalan Modernisme / Architecture

Casa Batlló
