3 Houses of Gaudí: Tickets

3 Houses of Gaudi FAQs

‍

1. Do you need to book tickets online to visit Gaudi's properties?

• No. You are able to purchase on the day at the property, however, depending on time of the year, you may encounter queues to purchase your tickets and delays in getting access. We therefore suggest you book tickets online as it can save you a lot of time!

2. Can I visit all 3 properties in one day?

• Yes, that is quite easy to do. Casa Milà & Casa Batlló are both on the same road, Passeig de Gràcia, so within walking distance of each other and Casa Vicens is only around 2km away on Carrer de les Carolines, so you can definitely visit all 3 on one day!

3. Are Gaudi's properties worth visiting?

• We definitely think so, yes. They are so unusual and its unlikely you've seen anything like them before, unless of course you have visited other Gaudi properties! They are some of Barcelona's most popular attractions, which speaks volumes.

4. Is Casa Batlló privately owned?

• Yes, the Bernat family purchased Casa Batlló in the 1990's and have owned it ever since.

• Casa Milà was falling into disrepair until UNESCO rescued it in 1984 and renovated it.
