Park Güell ticket

1 | Plan your visit

As you probably know, Park Güell is one of Barcelona’s most emblematic monuments. This magnificent park is the unfinished work of the genius Antoni Gaudí. Park Güell attracts more than 4 million visitors every year, making it one of the most visited monuments in Spain.

4 million visitors a year.

Antoni Gaudí invested a great deal of time and effort in the creation of Park Güell. The project’s ambition was to become a luxurious “Garden City” of several houses. Located on the Carmel hill in the far north-west of Barcelona, Gaudí’s initial plan for Park Güell included 60 unusual houses and a chapel. Park Güell was built between 1900 and 1914 at the instigation of wealthy patron Eusebi Güell. Given the complexity of the project and the uncontrolled construction costs, only 4 houses and the park were built. The park became the property of the city in 1923. Gaudí skilfully incorporated elements of traditional Catalan art, using organic shapes and colourful mosaics to create a singular place, now renowned for its architectural ingenuity and fantastic atmosphere. But let’s not give everything away – plan your visit.
