Classic Gaudi - or just plain gaudy?

Advantages: Free, great views, stunning Gaudi architecture
Disadvantages: On a steep hill, can get very busy, lots of people flogging rubbish

...Gaudi's work is to visit Parc Güell , to the north of the city centre. Its best described as an architectural garden in which you can see some of Gaudi's most exciting work but it's also a good place to catch some pretty amazing views of the city, right across to the port. Free admission and no queuing to get in are other benefits of visiting Parc Güell instead of other Gaudi locations.

To get to Parc Güell take the Metro on the green ...
...tourist buses also stop at Parc Güell as part of their itinerary.

As you get nearer to the park the fairytale like chimney of one of the two gatehouses comes into view to guide you and as you get nearer the still you'll hear the excited chatter of hundreds of European teenagers. If you prefer peace and quiet visit first thing before the tour groups arrive or early evening when they have all left. We visited in the early afternoon ... more

Family Friendly

A peaceful park in the city

Advantages: It's a beautiful place and it's free!
Disadvantages: None

...visit to Barcelona I visited Parc Guell, another place on my 'must visit' list, and a place I did not get to visit when last in Barcelona a year ago. We visited Parc Guell as part of a city tour by coach and spent an hour there, walking around in the hot sunshine, although I must point out that in order to see the entire park, I would advise that visitor's spend at least a morning or afternoon there! Those who have read my previous review will know ...
...Catalan Architect designed Parc Guell after being comissioned by Count Eusebi Guell. Guell was an estate agent entrepreneur, and asked Gaudi to design and create a park with luxury houses for Barcelona's aristocracy. The result was Parc Guell, built in 1900 - 1914. However, as our guide on the coach tour informed us, the housing project failed due to Guell running out of money, and only three houses were built. Gaudi himself lived in one of the houses ...

Escape with me.

Advantages: Peace in the heart of the city.
Disadvantages: None.

The Parc Guell is deep in the heart of Barcelona, and for those who do not speak Spanish, the best route is to take a taxi from any central point of the city, which will cost around ten euros, and the for peace of mind, and for parking it is well worth the fare, although parking can be found at the less commercial entrances to this park. The Parc Guell was constructed between 1900 and 1914 under the direction and architectural guidance of Gaudi, ...
...living in the district, and in 1923 was handed over to the City for all the people to visit and I am certainly glad that it was because it is an adventure into another time and another dimension. We entered by the less commercial area of Gracia and immediately were drawn to the huge bridge like structures built into high slopes with stone formed balconies in what is a lesser known part of the park. Here, the tourist can chill, find a little corner ...

Guell worth a visit

Advantages: V relaxing
Disadvantages: Up a hill

...up until I visited Gaudi's Parc Guell last summer a large mosaic Salamander would not have been one of my first choices. I have since learnt better. To visit Barcelona and not see some of the work of Antonio Gaudi would not only be poor judgement but damn near impossible. Examples of the fantastic and often eccentric architecture positively cover the city and nearly all are worth a look (particularly the 'Sagrada Familia'- a madcap, unfinished cathedral). ...
...and shops in and around Parc Guell to satisfy your thirst or hunger as these all tend to charge special tourist prices. Although Parc Guell itself is free to enter- a plus in any backpacker's book. Anyway, I'm taking a long time to get to the point, so a quick history lesson. Eusebi Guell commissioned Antoni Gaudi to design Parc Guell as part of a housing development. The housing side of this project didn't take off and so in 1923 the land was given ...

The perfect place to end your afternoon

Advantages: Beautifull place to visit
Disadvantages: Strange localtion

The famous Park Guell was built between 1900 and 1914 for Eusebi Guell. It was supposed to be an English style residential garden in the city. It was not much of a success back then and became the property of City Hall in 1923. Catalan architect, Antoni Gaudi who is responsible for many of the impressive architecture in Barcelona and has inspired the rest of the building work here, designed it. When getting of the bus to go to this park there is ...
...to the top and turn right you have no idea it was there. When you walk up to the entrance of the park you are set upon by two huge almost gingerbread houses built in the style of Gaudi with large curves, mosaic tiles and beautiful colours. Inside the park the first thing you see is a large lizard made completely of mosaic tiles, which has a small fountain underneath it. It looks beautiful and is a major photograph point. Once walking around the ...

Fantastic Mosaic Park!

Advantages: Colorful mosaic! Scenes from the fairy tales!
Disadvantages: Need to hike a slope to reach the park!

Hello friends, i am a mosaic artist and always adore Gaudi. I went to Barcelona to worship Gaudi last month. It was a fantastic trip. Barcelona is so much fun! The most remarkable place is the Park Guell. It is full of mosaic. The bus only takes you to a spot and you have to climb up a slope in order to reach the park. It is all worth it when you reach the entrance. "Park Guell" sign were being made into many different color tiles combination. ...
...to form the border of the park. When i reached the park entrance, I was speechless. It was like in a fairy tale. All the buildings are very organic and fun looking. The most famous Gaudi's iguana is at the centre. It was composed with many different colorful tiles and rocks. Down there was a fountain with a snake head. The park runs with an ecology system. The water came out from the snake head is actually the rain water from the roof. it is so interesting. ...

A meeting of old and new

Advantages: Wonderful architecture, galleries and parks, superb romantic atmosphere, great for shopping
Disadvantages: Aged quarters can feel a bit grotty, but that is natural and part of their charm. More expensive than nearby localities, but then cities always are.

. The city has plenty to offer, particularly to those of an artistic bias. In particular the Picasso Museum and the marvellous architecture of Gaudi come to mind, including his wonderful cathedral (Sagrada Familia) and park (Parc Guell). Barcelona is also home to a newly constructed Olympic stadium and a nearby recreation of a Spanish village, each building representing a period in time. A beach has also now been created especially for Barcelona and really you have everything you could want within easy reach, especially if you use the Metro, which is particularly well maintained. In reality, there is way too much to list in Barcelona. It will keep you busy for ages. ...

Barcelona: a wonderful city

Advantages: you can meet different races
Disadvantages: nothing

Of course, Barcelona isn't big like London or Paris with their 8/9 millions inhabitants, but it offers more attractions. At first you can visit a lot of bars where you can have the first experience with the Spanish mentality. Then, you can visit the wonderful monuments of Gaudí like "Sagrada Familia" or "Parc Güell". Barcelona has also one of the beautifulness pedestrian walkways (perhaps the beautifulness) of the world: "Las Ramblas". In "Las Ramblas" you can see a lot of artists with their sympathy way to make the people laughing. You can also visit an another walkway whose name is "La Rambla del mar". Here you have a wonderful view of the Mediterranean. You can also visit "La Plaza de Catalunya" where you can buy a lot of things in "El Corte Inglés" (like Harrods). You can have your "relax time" in one of the wonderfulness beach ...

Review of Barcelona in general

'In nature, there are no straight lines...'

Advantages: Beautiful building
Disadvantages: Queues can be long to get in

During my recent trip to Barcelona, I was very interested in visiting the various works of Antoni Gaudi. Having visted Parc Guell and The Unfinished Church, we then went to visit La Casa Mila, or 'La Pedrera' as it is more commonly known. Placed in Paseo de Gracia, work on La Pedrera began in 1905 and finished in 1910, it is the last commissioned work that Gaudi undertook, before concentrating his last years on La Sagrada Familia (the Unfinished Church). The owner, Pere Mila Camps had purchased the land, and having seen some of Gaudi's other work, he commissioned him to build a large building of rental flats on his land. A first look at this five floor building is enough in order to understand it's nickname: La Pedrera ( the stone quarry). Standing outside looking up at this building, I really thought it looked fantastic, with its ...
