Park Güell is a true gem of Barcelona and a must-do when visiting the city. This intimate guided tour will lead you through the park’s different areas while learning about its fascinating history. Rosa, one of our local guides, says, ‘Park Güell is a feast of colours and thousands of details where shapes, columns and walls don’t follow standard patterns – Gaudí didn’t like straight lines. Seeing his work in a natural setting makes his creations even more special.’
Walking through the park is like walking into Gaudí’s mind. Originally commissioned by Count Eusebi Güell to be an estate, this fell short and Gaudí decided to finish it himself. It took 14 years to finish the new public park. Upon entrance, see the unique Hansel and Gretel gingerbread-style houses and the double staircase. It’s a real feast for the eyes, lined with palms and majestic columns sitting at the top. Walk up the stairs to meet the famous resident ‘El Drago’ – a colourful mosaiced creature part of a water fountain.
Nature Square is at the heart of the park, with its vibrant tiled balcony offering breathtaking views of Barcelona. Walk along the path lined with verdant palm trees and admire the twisting stone structures of the viaducts. See the house where Gaudí lived until his death – the sweet pink building that’s now a museum. Rosa says, ‘Gaudí has seven UNESCO World Sites in the city of Barcelona and Park Güell is no exception. This fairytale park will mesmerise you.’
