Itinerary

Your tour begins just outside Park Güell

Meet your private guide just outside Park Güell in the hills above Barcelona's Gràcia neighborhood. Your guide walks you through the plan for what's ahead, from Gaudí's mosaics to Barcelona's rooftop views.

Follow Gaudí's Viaducts and Colonnaded Pathway

Set off with your guide along the Viaducts, Gaudí's stone bridges that seem to grow straight out of the hill. Since it's private, you can stop for photos along the leaning Colonnaded Pathway anytime you want.

Wander the Austria Gardens past Gaudí's House

Slip into the Austria Gardens, a shady grove of pines first planted with trees from Austria. Take your time by Casa Museu Gaudí, the pink villa where Antoni Gaudí lived and worked for two decades of his life.

Step into the Hypostyle Room

Duck under the terrace into the Hypostyle Room, where dozens of grooved stone columns hold up what Gaudí planned as an open-air market. Look up and you'll spot mosaic sun and moon designs tucked in the ceiling.

Meet El Drac on the Dragon Staircase

Climb the Dragon Staircase and say hi to El Drac, the mosaic salamander who's basically Barcelona's mascot. Your guide breaks down Gaudí's trencadís method, the broken-tile trick behind every mosaic curve.

Admire the views from Gaudí's Serpentine Bench

Reach the main terrace and grab a spot on the Serpentine Bench, the wavy mosaic seat that wraps the whole plaza. Since it's private, you can hang here as long as you want, snapping photos of Sagrada Família below.

Your tour ends inside Park Güell

Wrap up with your guide on the terrace, then stick around as long as you'd like. Your timed entry ticket means you can wander back to favorite spots, find new corners, or just relax with the Barcelona skyline in view.
