Barcelona’s Gaudí Buildings and Park Güell

Why go

This route suits visitors drawn to Gaudí’s changing use of shape, surface and light. Casa Batlló and Casa Milà sit close together, making them a natural pair before the walk to the Sagrada Família. Give each building enough time inside; the route is richer when you notice their different rooms and façades rather than rushing to collect sights. The three buildings form the essential day. Park Güell adds a garden setting and wider views, but the final link is a longer uphill walk. Treat that stop as optional, especially in heat or after a slow museum visit.
