Would you like to visit Park Gëll also known as Gaudi Parc?
You do not know where to start ?
Don't worry...I will help you.
If you have just 4 minutes, I will explain you some very interesting things about The Park...... and some tips to make the most of your visit to this work by Antonio Gaudi.
Park Güell today is a parc a garden, but the original idea was to make it a residential area.
How much time do you need at Park Guell?
The Park is very big in extent: 40 eicres. but do not worry. the monumental area where there are all pretty things that Gaudi did... is smaller. You can visit it around 1 hour..
Why is Park Guell so famous?
On one side you can admire the work of the famous architect Gaudi. The Park is like a fairy tale, withfantastic houses. Gaudi was inspired by the tale of Hansel and Gretel, they are like gingerbread houses.
also ..The Park is located on a hill, so you can enjoy a beautiful view of the city of Barcelona: the hills surrounding the city and the the mediterranean sea.
Do you have to pay for Gaudi park?
You have to buy a ticket to enter. The Park was free until 2013.
The Park is classified by UNESCO and can be damaged by the millions of visitors there each year.
It is important to purchase tickets as early as possible as access is limited.
Which metro station for Parc Güell?
The best metro statin is Lesseps.
Afterwards it takes around 10 minutes to get there. Don't worry because it is very well signposted.
What is the best time of day to visit Park Güell?
The Park is always beautiful. There is a special charm. I love the light, the colors of the vegetation combined with the blue of the sea.
Can you do Sagrada Familia and Park Güell in one day?
Yes of course,
I offer a guided tour of the Park Güell combined with another work by Gaudi: La Sagrada Familia.
The combined tour lasts 3 hours. It is a private tour. Just for you, your family or your group of friends.
I have a small company "Looking Barcelona"  from where I offer guided tours to discover Barcelona.
Do not hesitate to contact me. you have my email in the notes...I would love to be your guide in Barcelona!
