Gaudí Architecture Walk in Barcelona

Overview

Antoni Gaudi's architectural works aren't just a part of Barcelona—they are Barcelona. From streetlights and fountains to parks, museums, and of course, La Sagrada Família, Gaudi's collection of works in Barcelona is both impressive and extensive.

With the help of an expert guide, you'll start on the famous Passeig de Grácia, home to upscale boutiques and two buildings by Gaudí. First, visit the Casa Batlló, a modernist masterpiece of a residential building. Locals have christened it Casa dels Ossos, or "House of Bones," due to the skeletal nature of its design. After admiring its façade, your guide will take you inside the Casa Milà apartment building, which earned the nickname "La Pedrera" because it resembles a stone quarry. Built for the wealthy and aristocratic Milà family, the result is a sensational work of art.

Finish your tour with a visit to the iconic La Sagrada Família, the most visually impressive church in Barcelona. Construction of this Gothic/Art Nouveau basilica began in 1882 but technically remains unfinished to this day.
