The tour with the guide was short but was enough. It was informative and engaging, too. I love how the guide was able to accommodate questions. The Crown Tours team was also easy to find.

Our guide (Ava, I think) was wonderful. She explained everything well, including little details and techniques Gaudi used. You could tell she loves the park and loves sharing about it.

Your experience

Antoni Gaudí's masterpiece

After you meet your guide at the designated meeting point, you will receive help to access the park. Once you enter, your guide will show you the highlights of the park. The first architectural element of the park that you will see is the two buildings on either side of the gates. The one on the left served as a concierge, with a waiting room and a telephone booth, and the one on the right was the residence of the doorman, hence its name Casa del Guarda, which today is part of the MUHBA (Museum of Barcelona History).

An architectural sight to behold

The next highlight of the park will be the staircase that leads one from the entrance to the main area. After the staircase, you will head to the Hypostyle Room, a structure meant to resemble a forest and a space that is supported by 86 Doric columns. The Hypostyle Room supports the Greek Theatre on its roof. From the Greek Theatre, you will be able to soak in panoramic views of Barcelona, and the Sagrada Familia in the distance.
