Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Casa Batllo, Passeig de Gracia, 43, 08007 Barcelona Spain

Skip the line at Casa Battló with your expert guide, who will lead you into discovering the brilliant and artistic mind of Antoni Gaudí. As you enter the house-turned-museum, your guide will explain the life of Gaudí and how he developed his unique art style. Continue through and begin to understand why many refer to it as the "House of Bones," as you'll discover tons of uneven lines and a skeletal form within Gaudís work. Casa Battló's detail and stories will leave you wanting to explore more of Gaudí's legendary works. Before you move to the next Gaudí site, you will climb to the roof of Casa Battló, often called the "back of a Dragon" because of its curvy foundation and colorful tiles.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Casa Mila - La Pedrera, Passeig de Gracia, 92, 08008 Barcelona Spain

We will continue our exploration following the high-end Passeig de Gracia road in search for more Gaudi inspiration. You will soon learn how the great artist inspired a whole series of names who have created the Barcelona of today. Our next stop will be another Gaudi residence - Casa Milà. Before you even arrive at this next Gaudí masterpiece, you may be able to pinpoint the building you're about to visit, based on its architectural similarity to Casa Battló. This time from the outside, we will admire its facade and discuss the evolution of Gaudí's work, as this is one of the last private residences that Gaudí designed. Learn why this house is referred to as La Pedrera ("Stone quarry") by the locals.


Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Parc Guell, Carrer d'Olot, 5, 08024 Barcelona Spain

Once our exploration of the city center is over, we will hop in a luxury climate-controlled coach and head to our next destination, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Our next stop, Parc Guell, was envisioned by Gaudi as a luxury residential area outside of the Barcelona city center. You will learn all about Gaudi's colossal ideas for this complex, and why they actually never fully came to fruition. Nowadays, Parc Guell is the most popular park in Barcelona and a fantastic place to see the city from above. Before your tour is over, there will be time for a scenic photo of the city from the trencadís-adorned balconies of the park, rising above its iconic Dragon Stairway.
