Bucket List Experience
Gaudi’s Casa Battlo, and Casa Amatller next door

There are three Modernista masterpieces in a single block on the Passeig de Gracia, but Gaudi’s Casa Batllo (1906), a shimmering, colour-drenched townhouse designed as an allegory of a dragon, is the most astonishing.
Commissioned by textile industrialist Josep Batllo when Gaudi was at his artistic best, this dazzling widely acclaimed Modernista masterpiece is now a UNESCO-listed World Heritage Site.
The facade is especially beautiful, and though it’s expensive to tour the interior, it’s even more magical inside: brightly tiled, fluid-looking and full of art.
One highlight is the open-air rooftop, where you can admire the bold, surreal chimney stacks and snap photos of the city.
The nearest metro station is Passeig de Gràcia. An audio guide is provided on entry, which takes you on a one-hour tour. Pre-book tickets online through the website, or join an organised tour (who will book for you), to jump the queues.
Casa Batlló is open year round – check the website for exact hours. Like most of Barcelona’s indoor attractions, it works just as well whatever the weather, but there is a rooftop viewing platform, so perhaps aim for a bright or sunny day. It occasionally closes a couple of hours early for corporate events, so check the website before you go.
