The Gaudí Trail
Every Antoni Gaudí masterpiece, walked in the right order
Done in the wrong order, the Gaudí buildings blur into one long queue. Done in this order, they tell a story — the two Eixample townhouses first, where he was solving a rich family's problems, then the cathedral and the park, where he was solving his own.
This is a full day and an expensive one; the tickets, not the walking, are what will tire you. Booking the first slot at each is the single decision that changes the day most, because every one of these buildings is better before eleven.
Your route
Casa Batlló
Eixample
Passeig de Gràcia, 43
09:00–20:00
Local tip: The immersive video-guide tour is worth it. Go at opening to photograph the dragon-back roof in clear light.
La Pedrera (Casa Milà)
Eixample
Passeig de Gràcia, 92
09:00–20:30
Local tip: A five-minute walk up from Casa Batlló. The chimney-warrior rooftop is the highlight — don’t skip it.
Sagrada Família
Eixample
Carrer de Mallorca, 401
09:00–18:00 (seasonal)
Local tip: Time your entry for late afternoon when the western sunset glass floods the nave in red and gold.
Park Güell
Gràcia
Carrer d'Olot, 5
09:30–19:30 (seasonal)
Local tip: Finish on the serpentine mosaic bench at golden hour, looking back over everything you’ve walked.

Before you go
Can I see all the Gaudí sites in one day?
These four, yes, if you book timed slots and keep moving. Adding Casa Vicens or Colònia Güell makes it a rush. Two relaxed days beat one exhausting one if you have the time.
Which Gaudí building is worth it if I only pick one?
The Sagrada Família, without much argument — nothing else in the city is comparable, and the interior is the part that surprises people. Casa Batlló is the best of the houses.
How far ahead do I need to book?
A week in shoulder season, considerably more for summer and the first slots of the day. The Sagrada Família tower access sells out well before general admission does.
